Thanks Marsbar, i began to think it was a myth, reading about it on this site and not finding it in the shops. I even saw the distributer's (he delivers hikari to the shops...) list of availeble products and those carnivore pellets where not on it. But now... seing is believing. I'm gona order it ...

Thanks for those reply's. About "Hikari". I can't find the carnivor tablets. I have Hikari algae wafers, sinking wafers, micro wafers and micro pellets. The other brand i use is JBL; novo tab, novo fect and novo pleco. For my carnivore fihes i ad fresh food. Is there a site where i could order those ...

Hmm, i think our local wheather-girl could learn something.
Btw i decided that the first born will be sold and the money donated to this great site.

Hi you enthousiasts, Next week we are finally moving and i'm making plans for the tanks as they have to move too, and it's an ideal moment to improve ore make changes. I'm the proud owner of 5 L-066, 3 males and 2 females. I would like to try breeding attempt. After reading a lot of usefull info on ...

Hi everyone,
An amateur breeder told me that: At a higher temp. they will grow faster, BUT they will not get so old.
Anyone a reply on this??

Thanks, Racoll and Mats for these pointers. It makes sence. I re-edited "my aquarium".

Thank you both Birger and Richard B. Next month i'm moving, and in our new house we are preparing a 2 meter tank for ciclids and large pleco's. So thats where they will move to, as i read that that chinese algea eater can grow to 27cm and become territorial, and the Pterygoplichtys can grow up to ...

Thanks for that reply Birger. I think you nailed the 2nd fish, thank you. (Not a catfish-sorry)
But for the 1st one, may i ask to look at pics 2 and 3. His camouflage is differend on his head. Like a network instead of spots. Than it must be a Pterygoplichthys Multiradiatus.
Anyone other sugestions??

And here is the other one. Thanks everyone;BTW this one is about 8 cm sl.

I'm having probs loading the pics.
Will take new pics and re-edit.Here are 2 more pics. BTW he's about 8 cm sl.

Lately i purchased a 2nd (hands) tank. The former owner had no time for his hobby anymore. In the tank where still 2 fishes, whome i gladly want to take care for. Sadly one off them is in a bad shape and underfed. Now i could use some help. Can anyone tell me what they are so i can feed them and ...

Thanks to Ian Fuller and Coryman for there tips on this site.
4 Days later and 4 of them have hatched, they are about 1 mm.
Will try to get pictures, but my camera can't focus on such small sizes.

Hi, just to let you (other entousiasts) know. 5 Julii's are living in my comm. tank among 8 other Cors. By chance i saw one holding an egg between here fins. I followed here and noticed she layed it to a plant. The rest off the comm. tank quiqly took "care" of it. 3 hours later i managed saving 9 ...

Found him dead this morning. Anyway thanks to everyone who tried, and best wishes to all of you.

Thanks for that info. Temp. is 26C, now rising slowly to 27C on your advice.

Anyway, he is very weak by now, i could catch him with my hands. I just gave him some frozen fish (from a fish-stick), but he's still not eating. Gona by some shrimp tomorrow at a market and try that. Hope he will hold on.
Anyone any sugestions??

Thanks, i'll try that monday. btw nice 264's you got.

Thanks for that reply. I've given dry red mosquito larves and daphnia, but these float and don't sink so it gets eaten by other fishes. Btw in total 11 lori's, 12 cory's, 20 others (gourami, scalare,...) currently all in a 1 meter tank, moving in 2 months to a 1,5 meter tank (others) and a l-tank (1 ...

Hi everyone, I have bought a L106, about 1 month ago. At first he had a fight with a male Dolichopterus, but later everything seemed peacefull. I never saw him eating fom the algae wafers but instead he knibbled a lot on the plants. Now i saw him laying on his side,(picked on by other fish) and ...
