Back in stock!

After a much anticipated wait we finally have sourced some more copies of the Aqualog Loricariidae: All L-numbers book.....Below is a review from PlanetCatfish

Aqualog has published the 2nd edition of its famous "All L Numbers" book. This 2nd edition covers L 1- 350 and LDA 1 - 76 (the 1st edition covered L 1 -202 and LDA 1 - 25 not including the later issued stickers). Most of the L Numbers are illustrated in one, or more, clear photographs. However, Aqualog was not able to secure photographs of all the fish and some are illustrated in black and white drawings. Under each photograph is the L Number, suspected genus, provenience information, estimated maximum size, and a series of symbols like those used in the first edition. Each symbol reflects a generality about aquarium care such as temperature, pH, lighting, etc. Strangely, keys for the symbols appear in the front of the book in German, French, Russian, Dutch, and Spanish but not English. There are also a number of described and identified loricariids illustrated throughout the book.

Many of the mistakes contained in the 1st edition are rectified. For example L 32a is no longer an African catfish. In fact there is no longer an L 32a. The book also still suffers, though to a lesser degree, from many of the same issues that plagued the 1st edition. The problem Aqualog has is that they are not always able to obtain original photographs of the L Numbers that were published in DATZ. This often leaves Aqualog in the position of having to use photographs that "look like" the original L Number, but are not always the same fish. For example, one of the photographs of L 187 is actually L 187 (Chaetostoma pearsei), but the other two photographs of L 187 are of two different species. The provenience information has fewer inaccuracies than the 1st edition but still some significant errors. The same fish (L 187) is listed as coming from the upper Orinoco in Venezuela/Colombia when this species is actually restricted to the Rio Tuy basin of north central Venezuela. Thankfully, the 2nd edition also retired the Aqualog invented "L Numbers" with a letter modifier (e.g. L 27a, L 27b, L 27c).

Perhaps the most exciting part of the book is the "Annotated Checklist" that appears in the front of the book. This section provides a little bit of additional information on each L and LDA number and is very useful. Unfortunately this useful information is not included with the actual species profiles and was published in a very, very small font that makes it difficult to read. This leaves the reader constantly trying to hold a place in the book while flipping to the front to find additional information on an L Number. The Annotated Checklist is in both German and English.

Are Birds and Cats becoming a nuisance around your pond? Try the Pongard!

In-Stock NOW!


The humane and effective solution for deterring pests around the pond and garden. Pongard is the effective, motion activated, water spray solution for deterring pests around the pond and garden that connects to your garden hose! Any bird or animal which breaks the Pongard sensor activates a 5 second jet of water and a "clicking" sound, deterring the most persistant of pests. The Pongard resets after 5 seconds, this produces a random effect and prevents pests from becoming acclimatised to the Pongard. The Pongard can direct a jet of water up to 10 metres and protect an area up to 90 square metres.

# Adjustable sensitivity from 0 - 10 metres.
# Adjustable arms to the left or right to create the required arc width.
