I see the subject of overcrowding arises again. I was very much in the same school of thought whereby you had to have 1 plec per 2 foot of tank at least. But having seen a friend of mine that had MANY (ie more than 10) plecs in a 3 foot, and how they interacted with each other givin the right amount ...

So where is this photo ralf??? Cant wait, and still waiting!

Everyone is missing the point of this post..What i want is pictures of everyones large pl*c... Can we have more pics please

man thats a HUGE fish.

anymore?

Well thats huge 45 cm, but i'd rather see pictures of pl*s that are huge.

Who owns a really large pl*c and could you show us please with supporting photographic evidence.....no guesses please!!

I had three L264 of different sizes. When i put a similar size L91 that was the same size as the largest they killed each other!!!

It was my biggest plec loss as the L91 is my fav second only to the L264

can someone else clarify this up as i have received the same e-mail ....GRRRR

its also common knowledge that people who recall such urban myths only have 6 seconds of memory themselves....i couldn't remember who told me this as wtf what am i doing here!!!

Help what is this called?





Thx

I know what the problem might be!!! It might be stress related as the pictures are taken OUT OF THE WATER. How would you like it if i took you under water and photographed you. I MEAN HOW CRUEL IS THAT? AND I'M GONNA REPORT YOU TO THE R.S.P.C.FISH

Ronnie

you might want to individually bag say two feedings so your fish-sitter can only feed the desired amount, on the two ocassions. Give them a whole box of food and no doubt the whole box will end up in the tank.

Congrats man. I'm no expert but i'm thinking if its the first time your zebra has bred. If it is then i think its down to experiance that the male has fled. He should be fanning them untill they hatch.

I'm sure other members will come and contribute. Have you seen Robs web site about zebras?

These products are made by Kent and are really hard to get hold of. They are filter media. Is anyone using them, and how good are they??

Ronnie

then that would be very many

mine does. honest. i seen them at it. if you dont believe me try it.

they are quite timid and get bossed around by bigger plecs, but i dont know if thats just because of their size. what do you think?

I cant find anything when i search for "glo fish" or "genetically modified fish"

Tell me what words to search for and i'll believe you when you say this has been discussed before.

These fish are now for sale in the US. I reckon it will catch on in the catfish world too unless we stop buying them. I wont buy something that has been genetically modified.

What does everyone think?

Ron

Yeah i got 2. My smallest one glows under any light. Like radioactive glow but not quite like ready break tho!!!

No special needs just the usual algae flake, and cucumber etc.

Hi saylaveev,

I put in 4 medium size zebras in a african tank, and they dissappeared, like all the time. They never came out or ate. So i couldn't work out who was who when they did come out. I would leave them in their 10 gallon untill they start some activity.

It sounds like you want to see ...

A bit expensive isn't it IMO. Have you spoken to Rob in Sunderland? I believe he has some for sale and a tad cheaper as well. Post me a message and i'll get you the number. Or trawl thru the classifieds in aquarist-classifieds.co.uk.

Ron

Ahhh so thats yellow squash, how weird.....never seen it being sold here in the UK. Wonder what it tastes like. I wonder if they have any on eBay!!

Ron

I have 3 filters in my tank, so when i come to cleaning i completely rinse out the wool etc in tap water untill clear. I alternate cleaning between my internal one and external two with my internal having more. The bio load in the other filters will sustain such cleaning, and the filters will work ...

Cucumber = melon characteristics/family, resides in some sandwiches
Zucchini = weird way of saying courgette
Yellow Squash = haven't a clue, anyone got a pic???

Ron

So are you saying that it is best to use a more intensive light output for fish that are sensitive to light? I have a tank that has mainly catfish now and i'm using a T8 bulb. I also have a Marine Blue Actinic bulb. Would switching to T5 bulbs be better?

Ron

Hey why dont you buy a catfish thats too big for your tank, then you have the perfect excuse to get a bigger tank

OMG ....we should report you to the trophous police for being cruel. If you want to waste money when they die then feel free to do so, i know my wallet cannot stretch that far. You might just end up with a tank that has just catfish in it, then you can become an expert in catfish :D

You have to ...

Hi

Is anyone using these

Are they any good?

Ron

Hey Greame,

Has your lfs got any interesting L-numbers that you can remember, Heaton/Walker right? I have a contact in Sunderland who has a few zebras and L-200s as well as many other fish if you are interested. he has a few rays as well!

Ron

Hey, thats cheap. Why dont you buy them all?
