My uncle is allergic to fish, so he has sausages in his aquarium.

Agreed on the first one (maybe Acanthurus mata?) - but to me the middle one looks like a wrasse, (Cheilinus sp.?) while the bottom one appears to be a Siganid.

I'm no expert, though!

I think that these are .

Hey, sorry about the fish. This isn't a catfish, but a loach. I'm pretty sure that it belongs to the genus Homaloptera . There are several species in that genus that look quite similar. Have a look at the following link about one of these species (with patterns that really are very similar to those ...

Well, I'm not an expert on loricariids by any means, but these reminded me of very young . Compare them to the pictures of very small , for example.

Plotosus lineatus ? Correct (only catfish to migrate from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean through the Suez canal, a so called lessepsian migration) and... The country is actually Israel and the nickname is the "Nasrallah fish". correct! I'm originally from Israel, so that is why I am familiar with ...

If you did not have a peek at pages 9 & 10 of this thread, I must say you're very good! It took people a lot longer to find this one out (in 2009 b-)). The song is "I think I'm gogo" by Squeeze, which used to be the band Jools Holland played in. I didn't, but it was quite tempting to check if I was ...

Short beard - brevibarbis.
"Gogo" dancer.
Two synonyms with different generic names but same specific name.

I'm not sure about which song you mean, but I did find the musician called Jools Holland.

Yup!

It's your turn, once more!

This next one might be mistaken by some for a loach, but is otherwise spotless.

Hey everyone! Inspired by last year's "What was your first catfish and year?" thread, I decided to start a thread about our first aquarium books! What were your first aquarium books? Which catfish species were represented, if any? Under what names were they listed? I got my very first aquarium book ...

Could this be something along the lines of ?

I was looking through the Cat-eLog and noticed that looked very similar, at least in regard to the eye, fins and the location of the caudal spot.

They hang out in shaded areas most of the time. If they think that food is on the way then they swim out and about. The only filter/pump is the Juwel one, and it's doing an okay job - it's even a bit too much flow for the Kryptopterus at some spots. I don't know how they'd react to dithers but it's ...

Well, I got a group of 14 Kryptopterus minor back in July - though I've just recently lost one, I'm afraid. The tank looks a bit worse now as I haven't taken such good care of the plants, but I could upload a more recent picture soon. :) The remaining ones are doing very well, eating dry food and ...

I agree that a picture would be helpful. The name used is quite confusing, in my opinion, as it is not likely to be both a "dwarf" and a Pangasius! Over here (Sweden) I've seen Pseudeutropius moolenburghae (or a similar species - it is the scientific name they list) listed as "Dvärg Hajmal" - which ...

I think that they mistook the title of a page they were using for research for the common name, or something along those lines.

It would be fun if the name actually stuck - and would, one day, have to be added as a common name in the Cat-eLog!

... And now I bought some nice redmoor wood anyway. Couldn't help myself! Pictures when I finally get it to sink. Sorry to ask about stocking again, but how many do you all think I could keep in there? Again, the tank holds 180 litre (about 47 US Gallons) and the filter is the standard Juwel one ...

So back in April I planted the tank and have been letting the plants grow ever since. It now looks like this: Rio180_4-6.jpg The plants are Vallisneria nana , Limnophila , Hygrophila polysperma , Cryptocoryne pontederiifolia , C. wendtii and Eleocharis . I haven't been putting in any stones or ...

I don't think you're stupid - these riddles are meant to be challenging. I can certainly say that there have been very many riddles in this thread that I haven't even been close to solving!

Bagrus ubangensis

?

That was quick! That it is!
The key to the clue (multiplying by two) is that "Hemibagrus" means "half Bagrus".

My turn, then!

Do you think I could find a catfish that does go "bang" if I multiply an Asian red tail catfish, or any of its close relatives, by two?

?

I'm more curious as to what the divers were trying to do with the model. Catch the Storsjöodjuret? Heh, I was wondering about that too! Maybe it is an attempt to make a model of the monster itself? Here is another picture of it: http://myloupe.com/home/info-price-rm.php?image_id=323417 I'm trying ...

The base looks very much like a pike (Esox lucius) to me - even down to the colouration. Disregarding the eye, of course!

No worries, Gsneufeld, it happens! Never mind. These would have made very nice Corys anyway :d Yes, they would have! I sure wouldn't mind keeping some. Might be something for the fantasy catfish league page! :) Mi k rogeophagus , otherwise correct. Thanks for the correction! :) I've seen it spelled ...

That would be a - a ram cichlid. They are definitely adorable, but not so -like, I'm afraid.

Tachysurus spp?

I'm pretty sure it's a Bagrid too. Probably a species - look at those long barbels. I have no idea which, though.

Edited to add: Maybe ?

Thanks for the reply. I've read your thread from 2005 before - sounds like a nice set up! Do you have any pictures of it that you would like to share? :) As it is now I planted it with what is probably Cryptocoryne wendtii and am cycling (fishlessly). Got quite a variety of small snail species (one ...

Hey everyone! :) I recently got a new Juwel Rio 180 aquarium, in which I'm planning to keep a group of Kryptopterus minor . I've got some ideas on how to set it up and I'd like to run them by all of you before I actually do anything! :) I doubt that I'll make it into a proper biotope aquarium ...
