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.

For more than 10 years I have been working as a specialist author and speaker in aquaristics. My main topic is the ichthyofauna of South America, especially the plecos and dwarf cichlids.

I hold my lectures at meetings or events of aquarium associations, specialized shops or at trade fairs at home and abroad.

Recently I was on a three-week lecture tour in the US, but I also like to come to your aquarium club, whether it's a small gathering or an event with several hundred participants.

Perú – Expeditions in the amazonian lowlands

Perú – Expeditions in the amazonian lowlands

In 2012 I‘ve completed a group of three aquarists to go to the amazonian lowlands in Perú. We have visited the best known rivers like the Itaya, Momon, and Nanay rivers. Furthermore we‘ve made an expedition to the Tapiche river.
On these trips we‘ve caught many different catfishes like plecos (esp. Panaqolus),
whiptails and Corys, but also dwarf cichlids like Apistogramma, and tetras and larger cichlids, too. Additionally we have visited some exporters of ornamental fish that I will show, too.
