I guess he's ok then ... He's eating like a mad cat, very active, nice a full looking without being fat ... and since it appears his actions are normal, I guess I will just enjoy them instead of worrying about him. I do know the water conditions are fine its nice a clear other fish are doing great ...

Well, I have notice a increase in aggression so I guess thats safe. He is starting to chase after the cories and zebra danios. He doesn't injure anyone. Just pushes them, so I don't see the harm in his agression. But he's been extending those spikes even before his agression ... Could they ever be ...

And I though 200 gallons was alot ... say did you ever consider trying to take pics with a disposiable underwater camera??

I would like to understand my Bushynose (bristlenose) Pl*co better and know if he is not well ... I have the following questions. I think he a he because he has tiny pimple like bumbs of a bush coming in at 2 inchs. He eats hikari algae wafers as his main diet (and eats them like a pig). I also drop ...

Thanks for answering that post ... didn't get anything out of it then ... Anyway the 20G is fixed, cycled (for a month), and fish added. The 10G is fully cycled now for sure. ammoia and nitrite are 0 in both and have been for a while. One female guppy got sick ... not sure how, but the others are ...

For my 20G high my stocking plans are; 2 Dwarf Gouramis 4 Bloodfins 10 zebras (6 already in tank ... leaving room for one or two babys) 3 guppies (temporary 1 month) 1 bushynose pl*co (already in tank) 3 pepper cory (unwanted fish that got dumbed in my already over stocked 10G) Then I plan to get ...

What about a butterfly pl*co? Or even a Zebra pl*co?

As for the betta ... he's a real A S S. First I was originally told fancy guppies and bettas don't mix time and time again. So I didn't try, but I had the tank half cories and betta, the other half guppies and cories. Well the darn betta attacked the cories at first site. One of my peppers is pretty ...

I would like to finish stocking my 20G high tank. Its planted with lots of fake plants long the side. filtered by a penquin 125 bio wheel. heated. has long airstone. Is fully cycled. So far I've stocked it with my bushynose pl*co, 6 zebras danios, and 1 male guppie. I would like a pair of larger ...

finally, my bushynose pl*co (who has a name now, Ezzy) is almost 2 inchs long 1/8 of a inch to go. He or She is starting to get "Side Burns" and "Pimples"! Ezzy's nose is getting longer (not sure if he's lying or something :) But i finally see the start of some bush on his nose (more like yellow ...

I have 6 cories in a 10G ... sigh 3 peppered cories were a gift. I had 3 albinos. The tank mates are guppies (5 adults and 2 fry to be exact). Do I have no many cories ... the bottom space they have is about 14.5"x12". Its a 10G but its divided (a small space for a betta). The tank is heated has 2 ...

Yes, I never thought he could be a different sp. of cory then the other two ... I hope not tho. I got them all at the same time from the same tank Dec 26 2003. Age I blieve they are young ones ... they are all under one inch, from what I read most corys get closer to 1.5 -2 inchs. Character ... yes ...

Magic! Thats exactly what I want for my common pleco ... I also have common feeder goldfish (they were .10) ... they are about 3"-4" with tail ... couldn't hurt if they got bigger. So tell me more of this magical tank, dimentions? I'm craving those pics!! How big are the feeder goldfish now? I look ...

Ok if I were to try a young Hoplo with the 30G ... right now I've got 4 goldies and a common pl*co in there ... I care very much about those 5 fish. If you are saying these Hoplps are not aggressive toward tank mates, I think I'll concider them. I will need to add a hiding spot tho The tank is very ...

Hi guys ... I have Hoplo questions ... And well in my search for info I find people posted alot of hoplo questions here (I guess its along the lines of a cory hmmm). I saw a pic of one in a fish ... it had a bluish looking belly and some orange coloring. I love it. I noticed it isn't a picky fish ...

:lol: Well, well, The guppies are begging me to put these whiskered things in the looney bin. I have to laugh, A Cory decided to kiss some guppie nose in the middle of the tank ... sadly the poor male guppy was swimming clamly near a plant when this whiskered guy (who normally stays invisable on the ...

How big is he?

I have a baby BN ... he/she looks like any other Pl*co at only a inch and a half. I really wonder what he'll grow up like.

Beck.

More ... tell me more!! So what size tank had Mr. Pl*co been tried two? Do you have a pic of him?? About How long has he been alive that you know off? Oh I hope you have a pic. ... see if one of the students have a digi cam? What do you feed him? I too have a common pl*co named shark ... I hope he ...

My albino cories are the craziest fish on earth. I have no idea how to read their body language. They have all gone mid water! with occational resting on the bottom (but not for long). They seem to be copying the guppies swimming motions, zig zagging up and down at their reflections on the glass. I ...

Well, the little guy isn't dead ... but No he looks and acts no different then that day he started hiding. The only time he's really active is during water changes (I'm doing them daily since I'm still having nitrite troubles). I don't know if he's hungry because I was told not to feed the fish for ...

I am doing frequent water changes now that I know the cycle isn't over yet. :-( And I have three cories ... once I move the brushynose back to the 20G I do plan to add more cories ... but I have no idea now many I can have in a 10G. So far the "sick" cory is acting better, but he's still in the ...

Ok guys, I've been wanting to write about this one corie (I've decided hes a boy ... as I think I have two boys and a girl albino corys ... one is bigger then the others and is slightly more filled out). Well, this little guy hangs off by himself most of the time, I have the impression the cories ...

Hey there cory ppl! I was forced to buy a 10G tank since my 20G started leaking. Well, I want more cories. I have 3 albinos now ... how many would you say is a ok number to have in a 10G tank?

I'm not one with a lot of expereince, but My tank PH is extremely high (at least 8.0 as well) ... I wanted to bring it down to 7.0 but was told in the fish store to leave it alone, I was willing to buy the stuff and they said my pl*co will be perfectly fine if the Ph is stable which it is, I have a ...

A lot of people ask this ... you aren't the first. So, Those of you who answered this Q already, I'll answer it (I ask a lot so if I know something I'll try to do my part). No Pl*co isn't a dirty word, it is a internet superstion that if you spell the name right your pl*co will die. This of course ...

:oops: Ok ... I'm sorry about the confusing post before. I will try to keep things simple in the future. I guess I'll figure out what I'm going to do first, Ithink I'll do that fishless cycle before I add the bushynose and male guppies. I wish I could move em all but I decided to use the 10G as a ...

well, I'm glad I was able to share the fun Shark is! As I have posted already the common pl*co (more specificly mine) is so far my fav. catfish. Yes I agree on the personality thing. Sharks tiger mood is not too common ... maybe it's ony when he his on the red slate? or maybe that corner of the tank ...

I was wondering which method of cycling takes the sortest amount of time and how long it may take. I have asked simular Qs on this tank trouble but have not got a reply. So, I'm setting up my 20G again ... it's fixed and not leaking. I'm currently using the filter in the 10G to help aid a sponge ...

Sigh, I didn't know that about driftwood! :-( Oh god why didn't I ask. I just started setting up my 20G again (no fish in it yet) and well I put in driftwood for the bushynose. Driftwood wast the only thing sold at the LFS and well it was very $$$ for a peice of wood! :evil: Sigh, now where the heck ...

What color is your Pl*co? I noticed some people relate color change to health, Ph or whatever. i thought I post a little something on color from my own aqua watching. My common Pl*co changes color all the time, I have no doubt this is survival and a way of hiding (No sure why, he knows darn well by ...
