Re: Brought home a Pictus today
pic doesnt do it justice, looks much better than pic shows and is already proving to be great at cleaning up in the tank. It really seems to like the sand too.

Today i went and bought a 4-Line Pictus. Its about 5 inches.

Re: What did i just buy?
yeah, i've noticed he is very active. Hasnt stopped for long yet. And he is not skittish at all. Well, I do kow of a couple of fish stores, one for sure that can house him at full size and will surely take him off my hands. Not sure on the size of their tank, but it covers 15 feet of a wall in their ...

Re: What did i just buy?
Wow, well, hopefully I can find him a good home when the time comes. I cant believe they are selling fish like this with such growing potential at chain pets stores like that with no info on them. Oh well, at least he has more room right now at his size. Any idea on the growth rate of these guys?

He was in a tiny tank with no info on him and has a bump on his nose from hitting the glass due to the small tank and the large rock substrate. I asked for a price on him and ...

Re: How can i tell if my cory is pregnent?
Thanks for the info. Im gonna keep an eye on her and try to get the eggs hatched if i can catch them in time. Other wise no biggie. It looks like i might have to get them out of the tank soo anyway since my convicts look like they are beginning mating rituals.

How can i tell if my cory is pregnent?
I have 4 cory's in my 20 gallon tank. 2 Albinos and 2 green. 1 of the albinos has an enlarged belly and its darker in color. Could she be pregnent? And how should i prepare for this so they dont become snacks for my baby convict pair?
Thanks
Thanks

Best Cat for a 55gal?
Hi, Im currently cycling a 55gal tank. I really want a catfish, but not a cory or other small cat. What are some options for a little bit larger cat for a 55gal tank? I want to be sure it wont outgrow the tank.
Thanks.
Thanks.
