its the whole classification thing that gets me. one books describes and photographs a fish that could be anything where as another gets it right sometimes. although classification is helpful, sometimes it can be a little confusing between sites. and as for new species, LFS's dont help either. we ...

looks similar to the zebras that weve got. but they're not an L46. and they're not L98. i have zebras, tigers, albinos, bristlenoses, panaques, queens, kingtigers, the lot, all together in a big tank and some pair of the zebra lot have bred. (WILL NEED ID) just kept me head down in me tanks for a ...

hi guys

thanks again, i seem to remember you guys asking me for photos of the mouth. i can say that it is definately rounded like a panaque and its behaviour is different to a braueri as i have these as well. it is most definately a wood eater and likes red meat too. L77 doesnt match to me but i ...

thanks silurus, i think i might have had one of these chinese algae eaters too. also i thought it would have been a flyer because mine grew to a massive 9" and died cos it fed too much!!!
also had some strange purple and bluey-green looking algae eaters. russian i believe. thats all i knew. any ...

hi just browsing and thought what a strange plec. is the other fish not Epalz. kalopterus / flying fox? just wondering.

D@BMFH

get them to breed man! bubble discs, water changes, the lot. mine take 36 hours to spawn from whenever you want to do a water change. mint!

soor, my mistake for not realising. im going to go against what i said before when i had another look. c+p to photoshop that helps. i think the one in the bottom picture that is up against the side of the tub is going to be a female and the one on the left is a male. dunno. make some slate ...

hi there can anyone give me any info on these photo comps? i would like to enter if it is possible please. thanks, Dave@ BMfh

hi there, i believe that you have two males and female from left to right. keep them together in a small tanks with plenty of fresh water and small hiding places. one of the males will eventually pair off with your female and then the smiles begin. that is if you have two male and a female.

Dave ...

hi, unfortunately i dont have any fotos yet of the zebras, too busy taking pics for gigs in Carlisle at the mo and have no free memory card space. i will try and give you the best description: it is like a house brick, but more smoother and orange like your caves in texture. it doesnt have a frogged ...

hi, just thought that i would put on a message here to say that you are not the only one who likes to keep their fish after they have died. i had some huge amblydoras hancocks and i kept them after death and have them somewhere about the house in a box. i think that it is extremely interesting, and ...

is it possible for you to put some pics up?

BLackMystus

for breeding, try putting in an airbrick or one that is used for ventilation purposes. they have very small holes/vents in the bricks and my zebras love these to hide/breed in. the holes are just the right size for them to squeeze in to.

hi all, went down in the basement this morning and found all my plex chomping away on the remains of my pangasius. :shock: :cry:

so, how long will it be before the other one goes? they are so skinny and i checked the water conditions and they are all perfect, i even have some bristlenose breeding ...

hi all, have had a few of these lal things come my way. some have turned out to be petricolas and some were granulos. synos. most were njassae. came from a rift tank of a friends. i would say that your syno is more than likely to be a Zambes or njassae sp. they all vary in the amount of spots they ...

i believe he used the l-welse references on L-numbers.
still no pics, new camera today hopefully, old/new one overheats the battery.
post soon,

hi all, thought i would throw this in amongst the other messages, you may or may not have stumbled across it:

" I remember your post about this fish on
planetcatfish.com. I do agree w/ the folks that
suggested your fish matches the "L077" on
http:www.l-welse.com, and I even thought of this fish ...

hi, will have to go to the lfs tomorrow and get them to do a w/check for me. will post results up in afternoon. thankyou for the concern and help, Dave@BMFH.

cheers man, just put a post up, thanks for the info Dave@BMFH

hi, i thought it would pipe up and put a few lines on here about the pangasius. i have had two pangasius for about two years now and bought them from my lfs at about two inch. they fed flake for the first three months, for which they tripled in girth and got to about 4 inch. then i fed catfish ...

hi, thanks for the response, i didn't want to put a massive message on here as i did last time. still not got the hang of things on here yet. anyway, my pangasius, as you see are ill and that came about from putting in a catfish from a lfs. i put it straight into my show tank like a t***er and the ...

hi, can anyone please help me with my ill fish???!!!??? i have a two pangasius one at just over a foot and the othert not far behind. they wont eat. they have bumps on their back because they are getting skinny. i don't want to lose these fish. they have just gotten over a bout of whitespot and ...

if it is going to be the only syno in there, then it is likely that it will just hide away all day until you either feed or lights out. as for the jacks and the syno - no probs. the schall isn't at all that aggressive. the jack will be what, about an inch to two inch by now? compatable until the ...

hi yann,and evryone else, thanks for the responses. i will be taking some pics of the teeth/mouth tonight. tried last night, but there was a huge scrap between my pictus blochii/albofasciatus and one of my snos so he didn't come out at all last night. i think it might be time for the clear tub ...

hi, i believe it to be a brachysynodontis sp, or synodontis schall. nice fish. these fish like to hide under slate and crevices in rocks. you always see synos in LFH's without any proper colour to them and they look stressed because they have nowhere to hide. my synos like to hide under my 12 ...

i know its not a plec but i am looking for a male for my 8" female Cichlasoma bifasciatum. does anyone know where i can get hold of one? Cumbria and Lancs don't have any. :x
