Ok cheers, sorry for my late reply. The tank was filled yesterday, today its at correct temperature so tomorrow I will try and get my first fish in, hopefully some shops close will have them in otherwise, I know a place that should but its abit far away. I was going to just have a group of 3, I ...

I bought a 36x18x24h" tank yesterday, which is 250 litres, 65 US gallons. Im more interested in pims and auchenipteridae species than plecs and corys so I would like to mainly stock with them, but have two spiny eels which wont grow past 8" which I also want to go in. I got two powerheads, two ...

Ok thanks, if I could get my hands on some then I would go for a trio of them in my tank so ill leave enough room for some, its just I fear they wont turn up too often... So are Entomocorus benjamini allways surrface dwelling? I didnt realise that they did that. Any other behavior I would need to ...

Yeah I know it wouldnt be ok for it for life, hence the "what size do you think this would be suitable" phrase. I might just go with a few species of smaller cats and then something that shoals. We'll wait and see. The tank coming tonight so I can have a good look at it

Hi Marc, thanks for the info, what sort of size tank would you recconmend for a group of about 4? Would their max size in aquaria be about 3"? Cheers EDIT: What would a min tank size be for A.marmoratus then if it got to about 10"? As I have no experiance with Ageneiosus I dont really know if theyre ...

When I finally get around to setting up my 16ft long Xingu tank in my living room, I'm think I am going to build it myself in acrylic. It's only going to be 18" deep though, so maybe glass would be a better choice. How thick would the glass have to be for that? It will be 16ftlong 18inches high and ...

No I definately wouldnt keep them in the same tank, I was thinking a 20g tank would be enough for a small group, ceasing as they shouldnt grow past 2.5". There are some other small cats in that tank too.
CFC: These arent nearly that price, £40 but they arent too big though.

Ok cheers Marc
I might try and have a word with some of the UK importers, one I know could probably get me a A.magoi but I dont know if he does private "sales" anymore.

The problem is that the fish store that has it in is quite far from me so I would only be able to get it delivered as I cant get down there for a while now. Im going to check a couple of stores which are nearer to me and see what they have in.

I see. I dont know whether it would be worth the risk...Are they desirable at a larger size? (I would assume they are because of the price tag and rarity). Theres on on PC that has a lenght of 1.7"...That would be cool, allthough I imagine its hardly ever found in the hobby.

What I dont understand is if on PC it says the size to be 11.8", then why would that be so underestimated? It doesnt make sense to me...
If it got to a foot and a half then it would be far to big for me to house currently, unless its a slow grower?

Anyone have any info on Ageneiosus marmoratus? Ive seen the PlanetCatfish enrty on them, is 11" likly to be how big they get? Are they active? What sort of a tanksize would be best for them?
Thanks

Apparently B.Rutilus and B.Suchas differ from B.Yarrelli and B.Bagarius and the only way to tell the differance between yarellis and B.Bagarius is by size...Colour patterns depend on locality and substrate too I belive. Theyre for sale in Wildwoods though so I would imagine they have some kind of an ...

Yeah I didnt see that part... Thanks for the info Marc
I asked someone who has kept them before what size theirs got to and they said it maxed out at 12", and he kept it in a 55g, and said that he wasnt aggressive.

Possibly, however it specifically names it as "dwarf goonch", so it does recognise it as a separate species.
Thanks for the reply

Ive read some conflicting eventual size estimates for this fish and was just wondering if it is infact the "dwarf" of the genus. Im confused because here on Planet Catfish it says a size of 7.9" whereas fishbase states a "max size" of 200cm...Anyone have any thoughts on what it may actually attain ...
