Hello guys,

Wondering if you could help with some i.d.'s please. Sorry they are blurry. Haven't quite figured out the taking pictures of fish thing yet.

The first is their tank

The second is (I think) a synodontis? Is this correct? I inherited it with the tank. It's a grouchy fish and doggedly defends its cave beneath the bogwood.

The third has my flummoxed. homoptera (hymenoptera?!?!)
I bought two of these at my lfs.

The fourth is a dollar with a coconut cave in the foreground. I sometimes get up to 5 koaches in that coconut, clowns, striata, yoyo's. They love it!

Second fish is Synodontis, looking at the face I would say probably eupterus or nigrita

Third pic is Botia histrionica

Pardon my honesty - I am a Northerner

14 loach species bred, which will be next?
