Very cool cat. Was he wild caught or did you get him for another source?

O sorry! By grow out I thought you were speaking of fish half inch or 1cm.

Kind of deep for a grow out tank. But number is hard to say? You all ready have a lot of fish in there. Are you going to put more of any other type or is that the extent of non-cories. I all ways go with less is more, so I would low ball it, which is probably not an answer you are looking for!

Temperature, pressure,Surface area, speed of water, and depth all affect the quantity of oxygen that will be dissolved in the body of water. In addition to that salinity will affect the dissolved oxygen capacity of water. Surface aggitiation(formentioned, which I think is any easy way of increasing ...

I've only purchased fish online through aquabid and I have to say I love it! They have stuff that you can't find locally! Just look at their feed back.

Those are wonderful photos, what lens do you use or camera?

Wow 21 That crazy cool, have you had him in your all of those 21 years? In addition good luck with the panda's

I just got a group of 5 young barbatus and the temp in their 40 gal breeder tank is at 75 degrees. From what I've read 70 degree is the mean ideal temp from all the sources . My question is how do you lower temps other than using ice packs, which I think cause to much flux day in and day out in ...

My water runs about 7.7(pH) and hardness runs the anywhere from 120 mg/L to 150 mg/L. This being because I live in Dallas around limestone and with rain and drought hardness and alk. can vary.

I just cycled a new 40gal breeder and I am put goodeids in from mexico(either cresent or redtail). What cory would go best with goodeids and spawn in the same type of habitat?

Just recently in my area several shops have received 3 or 4 each of the wild caugth flagtail's, but I have not seen the non's in a while! But I have a group of 5 flagtails in a 125 and around feeding time they get crazy active. They seem to be the most in turn fish as far as feeding schedule goes!

Thanks so much for the ideas that sounds like a wonderful way to catch some. We have traps like that in the bug lab at school that are similiar! Thanks for your time!!!

The can I idea sounds really cool and brilliant. As soon as I am able to skip out of physical chemistry tomorrow I am going to try it. One question on the can methods is do you leave them un-baited of not, and what bait do madtoms seem to prefer? Thanks so much for your time and effort it means a ...

I just bought one of these cool guys today and just wanted to see if anyone had any help tips on care for this interesting catfish. I know the basic details on care but I wanted to know it there are other types of cats that I can keep with this guy or if it should be kept alone. And final what is ...

For the last three weeks or so been trying to catch madtoms in my local streams and lakes, but have caught everthing else that swims(darters, sufish, flathead, bullhead, even a turtle got his head stuck in the trap :lol: ). Does any one have any tips on catching these amazing fish. I have a couple ...

Thanks a lot! I ll see if I can order that book, it should be a very good bit of help, because I'd like to take care of this guy as best as I can.

I live in North Texas(dallas) and I believe that I caught a madtom in a large minnow trap. Does any one know the type of madtom that is common to my area or the types that can be found. He is doing well in a 55 gal tank in my house with a single sunfish. Aswell,what text do you guys suggest to learn ...

Thanks guys he looks exactly like L25 , and once again thank you for taken the time to respond.

I have an extra 55gal tank, and at my LFS they have a very interesting pleco that they labeled cactus pleco! Does anyone have a clue what the L number or latin name is of the guy because I would like some further info. to make sure I can take care of the cat properly. On the ID of him the pleco is ...

Corydoras hastatus is also a midwater swimmer if he was not also mentioned. They school like neon tetra's almost, I have a group of them they are wonderful!!

At a my favorite fish store (second home) they got three dianema longibarbis, but the guys at the store are usually very well informed but donâ??t know to much about their requirements, I was just wondering if anyone has any tips/ suggestions/ ideas to keeping these cool looking cats!?

Sorry, I am sure that a lot of people have asked this question but I was looking for a good catfish for may tank Lake Tanganyika tank. Does anyone have any good ideas on what would work well within a 55gal tank. In my tank right now is a Frontosa and a Calvus both are about two inchs at the moment.

Is there a cory that can tolerant a pH of 8.0 to 9.0, but moreover do well/be in good health at that pH.

I just bought a very large Brochis multiradiatus and was just seeing if any one had any problems keeping them with other cory such as panda, julii, aeneus and arcuatus? I m putting him in a 55gal with a school of 6 corys(hopefully)!
