Thank you both,I was hoping to hear positive opinions this will help me reach a decision.
I hope all gose well with your plans Viktor and it will be nice for myself,my young son and great nephew to see the Catfishes on display Birger.

Hello all. I have been considering closing down my tanks but only if I can find the best possible home for my Catfishes. I have been in touch with a public aquarium and they have said they would very much like to take them. I would very much like to know if donating them would be the right decision ...

A.nauticus is one of my favourite Catfish,I find mine to be very reclusive. When I put photo's on here I re-size them on photobucket,here's a pic of mine on one of the few occasion's I see him,I'm sure you will enjoy your new Catfish :D http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z141/arcsb/aquarium/IMG ...

Both families are working just fine,that was quick,thank you.

Doradidae is'nt working either,the two catfish families I look at the most

Hey guys, just wanted to quickly check with other keepers of P. pictus - recently purchased a group of 4 pictus, each about 7cm long, and popped them in a 4ft long tank. Unlike what I observed in the aquarium where they were swimming actively in a group and around the tank, my pictus generally don ...

That's a cracker,that one

Sith fish !!!!!,I can only imagine what master Yoda would have to say about this.
"Blind we are,if creation of this hybrid fish we could not see"

I had a feeling those shot's would'nt be of much use,I hope you manage to track down a decent close up

These photo's are'nt very good and might not be what you had in mind,they were taken with quite an old camera,so I wont be offended if you dont use them :) http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z141/arcsb/aquarium/neons078.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z141/arcsb/aquarium/neons128.jpg http ...

Just to be different,I keep a single Green Severum with my catfishes so the tank dosent look so empty. He is more of a pet fish and will pester me to feed him by watching my every move in the hope I'll add some food to the tank. This pic will give you a better idea of what I mean. http://i192 ...

Your not a huge Star Wars fan I thought everyone was

Confiscate them, immediately :-X . Get them framed :) . And hang them on your fishroom wall 8) . If only I had kept some of the Star Wars stuff from when I was a child I maybe could afford a fish room,that would be full of rare and exotic catfishes :D The only real Star Wars collectable I have is ...

I would love to see this event in the U.S. bronzefry, I have family over there but it's been a long time since I visited them,I'm sending my cousin some pic's of her visit to Hadrian's wall and Fort Vindolanda when she was over here last year,her's did'nt turn out. What a great poster Jools,I ...

They are lovely looking plecos,I was in a Pets at Home and they were selling an L number,I cant remember what it was for £29.99. My freind who know's his plecos pointed out it was a different sp. that usually sell's for around £5. It was a genunie mistake,the fish came in from the wholesaler saying i ...

Thank's,I'm sure we will enjoy very much

I'm really looking forward to hearing an orchestra and choir live,that along with the whole Star Wars experience it really should be quite amazing.

Do you have any photo's of these fish next to a ruler as they seem to be way over the size stated in the cat-eLog ? :shock: P.armatulus can get to quite a size,I was amazed at the size of this one I saw at deep sea world. http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z141/arcsb/aquarium/IMG_3355.jpg http ...

Has anyone been or is anyone going to http://www.starwarsinconcert.com/ . I've just booked 3 ticket's for the show in Glasgow at the SECC on March 13th for me,my young son and my nephew whose 24. All 3 of us share the same name and a LOVE of Star Wars and are all pretty much hyper about hearing the ...

As Mats has suggested it's much better to keep a group of pictus because 2 pictus will fight. I keep 5 pictus in a tank with lot's of wood and slate giving them plenty of place's to use as a retreat,but still leave plenty of open space for swimming. They are also very active and greedy when ever any ...

It's a great site,I think the video of the Salamander fish is amazing.

The video is at the bottom of this pagehttp://www.aquapress-bleher.com/index.p ... &Itemid=67

is another very peaceful and smaller Doradid you could consider adding to your tank.

Thank's for all the great replie's.

I have no idea if he has alway's been like this,but there are no other fish in the tank that could bother him so i think he must have and he dose very well for himself

thank's again.

I was taking yet more photo's of my Catfishes,they must dread seeing that camera coming out yet again,when i noticed my Platydoras armatulus only has one pelvic/ventral fin. I have been unable to find any ventral veiw photo's of P.armatulus and have been wondering if this is the how these fish are ...

I sometime's feed my Catfishes a little food when the moonlights are on just to see them out and about,but they get their main feed after lights out and the room is also in complete darkness. This make's me feel they all get a fair share and A.nauticus wont be out competed for food by the P.pictus ...

I very rarely see my Doradids eat but if my Platydoras armatulus is hungry he will cruise the tank looking for food when the moonlights are on. The only time I have ever seen my Amblydoras nauticus eat was when he lost his barbels to fungus and was starving and i was able to drop food directly in ...

Thank's Mats,I thought I was maybe not doing something really obvious,I appreciate your help.

Hello all. I enjoy taking a look at member's tank's and my Cats species list's that member's provide under their username. I have added my aquaria and species list to my profile,but after looking in the user control panel and FAQ I cant seem to add and publish them under my username,I would really ...

This is an amazing link,I had no idea AquaRadio existed,I really enjoyed the Heiko Bleher interveiw and I'm sure I will enjoy part 2 even more,he is a fascinating man. Aquapress Bleher is also a great site and I will be listening in on AquaRadio a lot,lot more it is very enjoyable,when I have the ...

I managed to get a shot of them together during a water change and while moving some of the decor around. They were both on this piece of bogwood,I did'nt realise there was such a size difference between them. Please excuse the mess during the water change I was opening up some more floor space for ...

Thank's Mats,they really seem to be enjoying the amount of wood i have in the tank,hopefully i will start to see more of them as they settle into their new home.
