Hey, Thanks for the replies. I was told that they had bred as a group (9 of them) but that they did not know which specific plecs had bred. I am going to give it a miss anyway, I am not able to afford that sort of money to set them up and not have them breed. :? I think I might try and breed other ...

Thanks Lisa, I looked at the article in Shane's World and I found a few interesting facts. I am thinking of getting 2 females and 1 male. I am not sure about the basics though like what size tank and layout. I have seen different information ranging from bare-bottom with some rocks to sand, rocks ...

Oppertunity to purchase a group of breeding L46/L98 plecs

Hello, As you can see from the title, I have the chance to buy a group of breeding zebra plecs. There are 9 of them and I have been told by the seller that they are willing to split the group. I cannot afford to buy the whole group as much as I would want to but I could perhaps buy some of them and ...

Sturisoma Catifsh - Regal Whiptail?

Hello, When I got my biggest tank I got some fish with it. The seller described the fish as "sturisoma catfish (regal whiptail)". I have looked in the cat-eLog but he doesn't look like the whiptails on there. He's about 5" long but thin and looks very much like a stick (his name is Stick! LOL), He ...

Cheers Yann, you have just proven me right. A guy I was talking to insisted that the only difference between the types of gold nugget is the spot size. Never mind the 7" in body size, then?!

What immediately pops into my mind is hillstream loach. Maybe, but they don't like too warm tempatures. So, it depends on that too. I have kept Hillstreams in a tropical tank, but no higher that 75F, they are now in a coldwater tank and seem much more active. http://www.loaches.com/species_pages ...

Everything I have read about them indicates otherwise. Dick Mills says "movement of water through the tank" is a special requirement. I know it's not quite the same thing but I have read that they like/need a strong current and mine certainly enjoy it. I was worried about putting my glass cats in my ...

From what I remember of the L066 I don't think that is it. He says it's "about 3 inches long black and brown spots".

Hello people

I know that the Cat-eLog has these as 2 different species but I was talking to someone who reckoned they are the same and they scanned a book showing this. I have looked around the internet and I am getting the 2 different views.

Ideas?

Thannks for the reply Yann

I use my phone to get pictures of my fish and there's no way I could get a pic from above without catching and thus stressing Brucilla.

What are "odontodes" and what do they look like?

Thanks for any help :-)
