I can always move the pleco to my 180 later. I just want something that will last a while in there

I'm looking for an algae bulldozer for my daughters 5g acrylic hex with her betta. Problem is, no matter how much we clean it, the 50/50 bulb, glow in the dark everything and the poor filtration(built in the hood) keep algae growing. avg temp is 75*f

It was a tadpole madtom. I got 2 at 1/2" with some ghost shrimp at the LFS i worked at. I have had both for a little more than 3 years. I orriginally gave them to my african cichlids as feeders but a year latter when i went to remove the fish durring a tank upgrade, i found them hiding under the ...

Does anyone keep their deads?
If so, How do you preserve them?
I've heard putting fish in high proof alcohol works but what about long term?
I've had a madtom for years and he just died. I got it in the freezer and i want to keep him.
How should i go about preserving him?

does anyone know where to get Exotic catfish collectables? I found this on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/Slavic-Treasures-RE ... .m20.l1116) but i'm really looking more for Oxydoras niger items.

I have been doing a big fish rescue for a year now and the fish are getting bigger and farther away. I started out with a big cooler picking up 12" plecos and pacus but now the fish are getting bigger i need a better way. This past summer i has to strap a 55g PVC drum in the back of my truck for a ...

As a general rule, you may be right with an 8x8x16 but who really has the room for something like that.. i think a 4x4x8 would do just fine for a redtail catfish that would otherwise be cramped in a 100g tank or die. I may not be able to proving the best environment for a monster fish but i can do ...

I'm trying to get ideas for a large 1000g+/- indoor pond. I've seen some people use those cheap inflatable walmart pools and galvanized stock tanks with livers but i'l looking for something rectantular. There is no way my wife will let me have some big ol ugly round pool in the house. I'm looking ...

I have a 12" albino channel cat and i may be getting another of the same size along with a pigmented channel of the same size. I want to try and breed is i have a pair. I've read up on venting but never done it. What should i look for on my cats?
Also: what should i do to encourage breeding?

is there any information on this fish? is it availible in the trade?

I'm trying to find information on a 'golden flathead cat'.
I've found it listed at both Gnathobagrus depressus and Amarginops depressus. all i've found so far is it's in the Bagridae family.

does anyone have any info on this fish? does it have a new name?

they shock the ponds about once a month to see how things are going. They noticed the averages were lower and lower, the smaller fish numbers dropped and the larger fish looked thinner. They later found that they had a ctafish problem

again, these are BIG ponds like a few hundered thousand gallons

the ponds were built to grow trophy bass and bream. The blue cats are taking over. the bream population has dropped 28% and the bass have dropped 31%. The last monster blue cat weighted 19 pounds and when they cut him open bream and bass poured out. I agree with ya'll, if it were my pond, it would ...

My cousin manages the property of a very wealthy land developer in this area and there are two ponds on the property that are stocked with trophy bass and bream. They take very good care of these ponds on every level to grow monster fish. in the last 2-3 years, blue cats have managed to wiggle their ...

Thanks alot for the list. I really like your suggestions. I'm going to try to hunt down the following: Channallabes apus Chrysichthys ornatus Parauchenoglanis guttatus Batrochoglanis raninus Chaca chaca Bagrichthys macracanthus Planiloricaria cryptodon Pseudacanthicus spinosus and the Lima i wanted ...

Tap water: pH7.0 Amm0, Nitra0, nitri0, Hard/soft:? no extremes

Ive been looking through the CateLong for months now but there are so many to choose from. Problem is, there are so many speciese without common names and that are just not found in the trade. I asked ya'll because ya'll might know better what is more availible for the fish trade. Also, alot of the ...
