Introduction and breeding report of Panaqolus claustellifer (L 306)
In this talk I‘ll present a very nice and small pleco: Panaqolus claustellifer (L 306). That species comes from the most northern area of Brazil in Roraima state. I have found Panaqolus claustellifer (L 306) in their naturals habitats, but at home in my tanks.
In this talk I will give information about the origins of these pretty Panaqolus, by presenting photos and data of some biotope. But I will give also hints and information how I was able to spawn and breed them.
This talk can also be combined with other short talks to an evening event.

Biotopes of plecos at Rio Xingu
The Rio Xingu is one of the most important tributaries of the amazon in Brazil. I‘ll present different types of biotopes of the Rio Xingu and their inhabitants. The start is at the mouth of the Rio Xingu near Porto do Moz and ends at São Félix do Xingu. The main aspect will be the big bend – the Volta Grande. But also the Rio Iriri will not be skipped. At the end I‘ll give a foresight of the future of the Rio Xingu. That might be very bad, because of the hydroelectric dam and the exploitation of mineral resources!

Changings in Cichlid Biotopes at the Rio Xingu
In this talk I‘ll show the possible impact of the Belo Monte dam to the inventory of cichlids at the Rio Xingu. Also I want to explain the actual situation in Altamira, about the Belo Monte dam, and the resulting problems. But I also present many biotopes and the cichlids that are living there…

The Rio Xingu is one of the most important tributaries of the amazon in Brazil. I‘ll present the situation in the low water season and compare it with the high water season, when most rapids are flooded. Especially I give information about the actual situation at the Belo Monte dam and what that means for the future! Furthermore I‘ll present the breeding facility from UFPA that is managed by Leandro Sousa.

L-Numbers – not only from clear water
In this talk I sum up some rare L-Numbers and Plecos of the last years.
Most of them arrived Europe just in small numbers, like Panaqolus sp. (L 482) where just 13 specimen arrived us. I‘ll present these fishes and also some biotopes where they live. This talk will contain fishes from French-Guyana, Brazil, Perú and some other southamerican countries.
