Ok, cheers guys, I think I'll just leave them to it. I may get a fishkeeping friend to come in and feed them their frozen food once, but from what I have heard it isn't overly important!
Cheers, Hippyguy

Hi all! I am going on holiday shortly for 10 days, and am wondering what to do about my 4 King Tiger Plecs, L66. They are in a 30" at the moment, but will soon be moved into a 4'. The tank is the usual set up, sand, gravel, lots of rocks, caves, bogwood etc...! The tankmates are 1 oto, plus lots of ...

Definately a panaque maccus

I'm afraid your fish isn't actually a catfish but a loach, probably a botia longiventralis. It will grow to about 12cm long and will not eat algae, but may graze through it on plant leaves, looking for scraps of food. Hope this helps

IMO you definately have a pair, but best wait and see! Where did you get them from and how much where they?
Cheers

Hey all, I set up the tank on sunday, but have made slight alterations. The box filter is the only filter in the tank so far, but I want to put a powerhead with a sponge on the bottom of it, in also. Does this sound Ok? So far in the tank there is one piece of bogwood, lots of small slate caves and ...

Cheers guys, I hadn't quite anticipated so many replies after one question, but thanks all the same! :lol: The LFS that I work at has said I can have a 'singapore' box, which is very good for insulation I have been told. Doctorzeb, thanks for the advice, I will bag them individually! I hadn't ...

Great news, after years of want and waiting, I have finally tracked down some zebras! Unfortunately they aren't quite full grown, at 1" long :lol: But, I am getting six so at least I will have a pair, and.........they are F1 from a breeder so I am not presuring wild stocks, which makes me feel alot ...

Hey David, I currently have 4 L066 in a 30" and I often see them out in the day, if I sit around and am still for a while! I have 5 adult Endler's livebearers in with them which act as dither fish and the babies are live food. (though I havn't yet noticed any babies missing :? ). How big is it? I ...

I have a 36" tank currently set up as a SA biotope. It has 3x 7cm bristlenoses, 9x dawn tetras, 5x cory aeneus, 1x male peppered cory, 1x unidentified tetra, 4x baby cory aeneus (2cm each), 2x pencilfish, and a khuli loach (not SA, I know). It is set up with bogwood, lots of plants, floating plants ...

They don't have a common name, as far as I am aware, just L333. King Tiger plec's are a different fish, L066.

Yep, definately a corydoras pygmaeus! They do best when kept in a small shoal, anything more than 5, otherwise they tend to be less active. Real characters, I have 11 at the moment! They eat flake, but love BBS and daphnia, (live or frozen). :D Males grow to 2cm, females get to 3cm. Hope this helps ...

One other thing, when building caves, is the height including or not including the males dorsal fin?
Cheers

OK, in the end I havn't bought the male! I may change my mind by the weekend though! The four fish I have are all eating fine and there are relatively few skirmishes between the 2 new females, though lots of fanning and shaking when they get near each other, I don't think they've sorted out whose ...

Larry, once the bigger male has established dominance, which I think it will, will there be any fighting between him and the other one? I want to get him and keep my other 4, but I think that if it turns out I have 3males there could be problems in my tank! Anyway, I'm going to pick up the new male ...

One of the females is in near pristine condition, but the other is a bit scraggy. :cry: She has a bit of fin rot and a small wound in her side, about an inch up from the base of her tail, but I've just fed her and she's eating fine. :D I've decided to get the other male but am a little worried about ...

Oh, BTW cheers Yannfulliquet! Much appreciated

hey all, :D I picked up my 2 female L066 today, they are huge :shock: !!!!! I didn't realise how big they were until I had them in the tank, next to my current pair! I havn't picked up the male yet, I'm not sure whether I want him yet, because I would have to swap him for one of the ones I already ...

Just as long as one won't kill the other that's great. :lol: They will only be together for 2-3 months and then they will each have their own tank and a female each! :D Hopefully then I have a chance of getting some babies! From what I have read they will only breed between December and February, is ...

Cheers Larry, My tank is only 18gal's so I am assuming both pairs are unlikely to breed at the same time. The male which I currently have is not mature, so the one I am planning on getting is likely to be 'boss' :!: If necessary, I can set up the 48" tank for one pair and leave the other pair in the ...

Cheers Barbie, I would get 3 females but unfortunately there are only 2m and 2f :x left at LFS. I think I'll pick up both the females and one of the males. I will soon have a 48" spare, so I will set up one pair in each, then look out for more females! Do you think these four fish will be OK ...

hi barbe, sorry to hijack your post but I am picking up some new King Tiger L066's on Tuesday and would just like your opinion/advice :!: :D At the moment I have two, which I think are males, one definately is. As LFS has got new batch in, I am going to swap one of these for a female and also pick ...

Ok, i've had another attempt at cave-building today! The caves are for my King Tiger Plecs's. I went down to the LFS today and wayhay, they've had a new shipment in from South America, including 6 full grown King Tiger's, :D with one big 4.5"-5", very impressive male, which I have reserved and am ...

Cool clips,
I have a pair of King Tigers in an 18gal. at the moment and am hoping to breed them. How big is your male and female? What size are the caves exactly? Are there any other fish in the tanks? PLease give me as much info as possible.
Thanks very much

One other thing, :? I've emailed frybabies twice now once on the 31st of jan. and once on 6th feb. with no reply. I wanted to know whether they are able to ship to the UK, I live literally 10 mins from gatwick airport, so would be able to pick them up as soon as they came in. I would be interested ...

The cave is primarily for my King Tiger's which grow a little larger than queen arabesque I have been told. The inside cave dimensions at the front are 3.5" wide by 2" high. The cave tapers towards the back, inside it's 9" long almost 4" wide and 3" high. I have built the roof in two sections, one ...

Heya again, :) I've been cave-building today out of tile and am going to make another out of slate later. Just a few q's: 1. I made one out of tile that is 10" long, 4"wide and 3" high. Is this a good size? It is probably going to be for my L066 but I am about to purchase a pair of queen arabesque ...

Do you think that a pair of king tigers (L066) and ither a pair or trio (which one) of L260 would work in a 18 gal. Other tankmates would be 1 otocinclus and 5 endlers livebearers.
Cheers

Great news, congratulations! :lol: How big is your tank? Is it a species tank? How many fish do you have? Tankmates (if any)? Do you know how many babies there are or is he the only one? I am about to buy a pair of these with the intention of spawning to go with my pair of King Tigers (L066). Is a ...

I found this website today. Gives you all the corydoras species just from the rio negro.
