Well sounds like you got to throw yourself into learning names of plants, so here is two that Ive had alot of succes with the first and the best is anubias, little stubborn plant all excepts panaque should leave that alone another one is Java ferns! Try them out, but remember dont plant the anubias ...

They are fine thanks, being nocturnal and all it is´nt so much I get to see of their behaivour, but they seem to be somewhat more active. Thats a nice collection of specie you have there in Austalia. I thought it was very difficult to get species like that in Aussie?

Hi! If you are planning to keep L114 you better be a little careful what numbers you keep and to make you tank filled with roots, caves and things that can be turned into territories. I dont know the size of your tank but it shouldnt be less than about 125 gallons or 500 liters. I have L25 and they ...

We are a bunch of fish fanatics going to Brazil and amazonas and there is plenty of L-species and not too much trouble. Since you are from Norway you can hook up with us, the tour is cheap compared to other amazonas tour and the area we go to is heaven on earth noone has caught aquarium fish is that ...

Nope as far as the article link posted "catfish of the month 2003" noone has spawned it. But I am curious have anyone seen a turkish or blue L200 or l128 as the article mentions, I have heard that there where a picture of one in the old aqualog, but it was due to the light, so have anyone seen the ...

Guess we have encountered the equalent of Virgin Mary in the fish world, a home breed wild caught(a pregnant virgin). You could ofcourse let it go in a river and catch it again claiming it now was a genuine wild caught! Is this fish also known as Xantos artificial coloured or what? Do they look as ...

Hi Ivar! To me its looks like a young about to mature male! You can see the bristles starting to grow and in the common bristlenose the females are bristleless as far as Im concerned. In the coming time it should all be more clear as the bristles should grow big as beatifull, otherwise you know why ...

Hi all! I am hoping that, I can get some tips from the people in here who have experience with raising frys, what is the best way to go with loricariidae? I guess it best to take the eggs if the aquarium is to large for feeding the fry´s right. After the yolk sac is eaten, artemia is the best i ...

Hi! Simple answer yes: Long answer: If its the common ancistrus AKA bristlenose you are referring too, you can breed it bare bottom, planted etc etc. Just remember to have a nice tube about an inch wide and about 4-5 inchs long. You can find some in your local buikding market. All plecos love tubes ...

Hi!

L240 gets around 20 cm, I think Acanthicus Adonis gets around a meter perhaps 70 cm, the others I am unassure of, if you post the L-number I can look them up in the new aqualog for you

Hi ! I am wondering, it what shape are the genitals different on plecos, especially pseudacanthicus. All the normal features with looking on odontales growth and body shape are almost useless with these. I have been able to spot that the smal one is a little more round and have a long ( 3 mm) tube ...

I was hoping you might give me some inspiration on what to feed my four L025, the ones I have been able to spot seems to like mussels very much and the shrimp was accepted too. I have tried pelled pees + blood worms as well, I think some of the pees have been eating but I havent been able to tel if ...

Great ! Thanks for sharing, I can´t help myself but add "sounds like we found out where the real Dalai Lama was reincarnated"

Pleco the level beyond human !

Hi! I think there is a normal genetic explanation for this, its probably a varieation among the cells ability to produce the colour protein. Those cell proliferate in certain areas causing it to become white. So it might be rare but probably harmless or if its harmfull it will only affect the number ...

I have heard that pseudacanticus can be very territorial, but each animals have a good place to hide(tubes) help, otherwise they can hurt eachother bad when you sleep!. Plus ofcourse enough to eat, Im planing to try to have several in a 530 L tank only for them, no others fishes. Im still waiting ...

Hi Barbie!
Love the story thanks for sharing Congratulations with the nice fry(youngsters).

Regards

Bristlenose is always a winner fish and they even breed in community tanks! Keep away from the royal (any panaque)they will chew your wood/plants etc. If you want something more excotic, there is different species of bristlenoses, they are somewhat harder to breed but stil quiet good fish for a ...

Yeah if you decide to get it. You should know that in a coupple of years you might have to let it go to a new and bigger home unless your the bonzai fishkeeper type

Like the others say its probably a pseudacanticus of some sort look through the catelog to find it. Cactus plecos is a general term for the pseudacanticus. I have seen it most often used for the L-24 but they are all cactus plecos due to all the odontales(stingers) in long rows down their back ...

Hey! Yes Yann, I thought about that fact too. But I guess with four size XL pseudacantricus they are hard to comeby, so perhaps they will just take what they have. They issue is really the way they are caught, but since the rainy season is only starting now and they breeding probably is in that time ...

Thank you Larry! Do you have a URL for that article?

Kind regards

Greetings! I think the description in the catelog is pretty meager. So I am hoping some of you might have a better description or maybe some pictures to define sex in these fish. I have heard that the males are alot easier to catch in the caves and therefore . I will probably get four males (have ...

Really nice tread, Im planning on getting some Pseudocanthicus myself the L-025. And then I noticed that guffiarnold is danish too, wee apperently this must be mecka:) Where in Aarhus did you buy those leopardus, do you have a phone number for your fish pusher? Add me to your contact list or mail me ...

I quickly found this page, which really is quiete a treasure. I am planning to get me some L-025 and have read all I have been able to find about them. But still I would like to get some real life experience plus advice from people who actually keep them. Otherwise Im just happy to be here and hope ...
