Thanks for the links, Stunning rays as well, My LFS recently had a jurensis in with a motoro and teh motoro bashed it - the sting to the head killed the fish within 2 hours , would you keep a tigrinus with a stingray Do you know of the likelyhood of any problems
Thanks

Tristan

Thanks

The largest one that I have seen is 2.5feet, so any advance on 3feet.

Thanks

BTW I found this on the their size on Scotcat

The show size listed in the Catfish Study Group U.K. listing is 450mm s.l. i.e. from the tip of the snout to the base of the caudal peduncle. In their natural habitat ...

Greetings All.

I have just visited a fish shop (about 300 miles away) and the had several Merodontotus tigrinus there, the first one that I have seen in the flesh as it were. Although i am not thinking of getting one at the moment :( , as i do not have my fish house built, i was hoping that someone ...

What are the species that you can't spawn at the moment - just out of interest

Thanks for the advice- I am currently embarking on a Zebra plec breeding project - I have seven and am hopefully picking up 4 more on Wednesday so we shall see what happens. I love L47 plecs but, from what you are saying, i don't have the space at the moment - I'll stick with the zebbies

Hi All,

Has anyone had any experience / or know of any resources where people have bred these fish. They are refered to as Magnum / mango or coffee & cream plecs - Has it been done in an aquarium before and what sort of requirements do they have?

Thanks

Tristan

Congratulations Barbie, is there any fish you can't get to spawn?

Hi again,

Spoke to the boss at the shop, he recons that they get to about 10" total length, (including the head & tail). Their shell measures about 5" in diameter. He also said that they take about 6-7 years to grow to that size. He has some small ones - 2-3" across and a couple of bigger ones- 5 ...

They say RTC's will eat anything - they were right

Hi pictus_man_77

I am taking some discus to a shop that sells terrapins/turtles after work tonight and will get some info then. Alternatively you could speak to Rod at http://www.rift-valley-cichlids.co.uk he is based in Bournemouth and i think is usually there 'till five thirty or so. I took the ...

Thanks for your help

How about gourami paste, bones and all!!

I agree with Shane. You get this gill curl with arowana if the live in poor quality accommodation, i.e. cramped/ bad water quality, it can be operrated on by a vet, they surgically remove part of the operculum, but sometimes the re-growth is not so good.

Hope this helps

The most common cause of Royals' deaths when you get them home is starvation. Often they haven't eaten anything during their quarantine "if they had any" and therefore become more susceptable to disease. A full belly is the most important thing, i agree with Mats. There are so many different types ...

The sales men at the shops were right to an extent as the malawi cichlids are not too well adapted to digesting high protein foods as they predominantly graze algae from rocks etc. I do, however feed sparing amounts of bloodworm to my malawi community tank and they eat it with relish. I think that ...
