The Author
Steven Grant is a British aquarist and amateur ichthyologist specializing in catfish and loach.
He has been on expeditions to Peru and Bolivia where he collected (and ate) catfish. This allowed him to see firsthand the biotopes in which they live and the other species in which they are found. He has also written numerous articles for aquarium magazines and the Catfish Study Group Journal, of which he is now editor. He is a speaker at many world meetings.
Steven has described two species of Corydoras and there is also a Corydoras named after him. He has described one genus of loaches and three genera of doradid catfish, and also a L-Number-Pleco. He has also rediscovered the lost type specimens of numerous catfish species and written about the identification of old and forgotten scientific names.
He also runs the Facebook group “Catfishes of the World”, which is an online portal for aquarists and ichthyologists.
