    There is a photo of an exhibit containing this animal but the animal cannot be seen in it. So this is the first photo of one of the coolest and most aggressive catfish in the world the Black Devil or Crystal Eyed Catfish. Photo by @Nandito


    Also another new fish species by @Nandito the Humpback Puffer.

    We should just rename this thread "Vogelcammando's Contributions to ZooChat" seeing as his photos make up like 70% of this thread. (I'm joking of course :p)

    Is this still going? Or have there been no recent new species.

    Theres been plenty I just haven't had a chance to document them and I suspect some aren't on this thread.

    The saddest part though was last night I uploaded a picture of an endemic Australian moth species (Acroceuthes metaxanthana) which I had photographed in my backyard. Depsite the photos abysmal quality (it was a quick moth), I uploaded it as new species are important for the gallery to grow. Unfortunately even with the tag of being a new species it got deleted, twice :(.

    The last time I checked was late september so i'll scour the gallery and see what I can find.

    While im not certain heres a Grey Bamboo Shark, while there are tanks of this species I have not been able to confidently see this exact species in those shots so @Nandito takes the prize of the first photo of this species in the gallery


    I've done from today to the end of the 8th.

    I'm surprised its only been added to the gallery now? These are a pretty well known species, and they have always been a common shark species in my mind.
