Sorry it took me some time,...

Well not me really, the fish, time to move

Can't do better so far:

For about 2 years now i have an Chrysichthys ornatus, great fish about 20cm long. When i bought it, it was about the same size maybe a cm or 2 smaller but i think it hasn't grown since i bought it. All still good it's a very nice size for a catfish, so i figured it was an adult and he would not grow ...

Being realistic to my self, a tank of 4x2meters is not gonna happen in my future house. But i'm also not sure it its really nesacary. I now bigger is always bether, but now he is 40cm when i bought him 2 years back he was 25cm, growth seamth to have slown down, how long do you ppl think he will take ...

Hi all,.... Been away for a while, back with some questions. I'm still in love with my catfish, they have won the competition with my cichlids, and now have the complete priority :) Since i'm moving in a few months its about time for a bigger tank, now i am wondering what size i am gonna need for my ...

They all look evil don't they

Nice shop indeed, small, but nice

No i do not asume wildcaught fish.

I should have menthioned both were not bought at the same time.

At first i've gotten these as baby's, 1 maybe 1,5 inch. Bougt them both as L001, gibby's little nephew. Looking at them now both around 8 inch, there is a lot of differnce between them. Can't get them id properly, any help is appriciated :) http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s76/Kellyc17/pleco2.jpg ...

Whut guy sid ?

Great fish it is for sure !

Ah ok that's clear, either a big shoal or a single specimen.

It's most likely to be a loner then but when I find 5 or 6 more i'll buy them, it's a very pretty species so I would love a shoal of them.

Will try for a intank shot.

Yeah mine looks just like yours Birger, it's got barbels like a dearshead

I really like the fish, but i've never seen it in stores before, so finding mate's for him ísn't gonna be easy.

I like a challenge

Tnx for the id, who's keeping them for more?

I was convinced 1 scored a beautifull Liosomadoras oncinus for a nice price the other week. The salesmen told me it was a synodontis, me wishfull tinking and dumb enough to think I knew about catfish sold it and was very happy with my very cheap doras. Yesterday the fish was hanging upside down ...

Very nice fish i would like to keep them sometime.

Do you have pictures?

It's a great fish, got me one to since a day or 5.

I haven't seen it eat unfortunatly.
Tried lots of things including live shrimps mussels market shrimp melon courgette and apple.

Keep me informed of his feeding habbits pls

And euhm, photo would be great

That, or set up a small tank with the type of foam youre planning on using with a few test fishes, a few feeders for example.

I've always used it in all my tanks but always the same local brand, not all foams are alike, so risking your expensive cats over it would be a real shame.

Yeps i now have aditional instructions

That's the one indeed. Tnx for the info Marc! The lfs in Hoogerheide is currently called Bubbelsbv.nl and has a little bit of everything but unfortunatly only the very common fishes. Tryed to visit de maanvis last week, couldn't find it and ran out of time, sh*t happens :) Will try to visit again ...
