Thanks for the info

Looks like a peckoltia, L202 could be a fit given the wide spacing between bars and the fin coloration.

nice job! your daughter must be excited with the new arrivals.

I already have a batch of 30 two+ week old babies and my breeding pair will not stop laying eggs......(i know not a problem). I only have a 10 gallon breeder at this time and a 20 long not set up since it will not fit under my tank. A. If I place eggs and male in the breeder will the male attempt to ...

does anyone know where i may be able to get my hands on some of the rio iriri plecos? I know the L250 is from the same area but is unobtainable. thanks

This, I am very aware of. I have studied numerous writings of the godfather of discus, Jack Wattley and of Dr Eduard Schmidt-Focke. The reason we have so many crazy color morphs is because of selective breeding. The heckel discus is a different species while the blue/brown are the same the green is ...

I have an update since their is really not too much on the web about a strategy in raising these guys. They are really only feeding at night!( i have always known catfish to be mainly nocturnal hunters... never put 2 and 2 together). At night, they congregate on the bottom of the tank when the ...

I am breeding L10a rineloricaria right now, and I moved one of my 3 emperor 400 hob filter to my 10 gallon tank so that it already had a biomass. I must agree with Shane that no 1 answer is wrong but here is what I find. The main reason you have a fish die-off is because of the build up of nitrates ...

This was a thought of mine when I purchased the L201's and I have actually been contemplating removing them from the main tank and having them in a 20 long. My main goal right now is getting my new male L134 to pair up with one of the females in the tank. I increased the cave spawning sites and ...

BTW it is free floating within the tank.... I was trying to mimic a root snarl within a river

the large piece of wood is an oak root from a creek in new hampshire it was even larger but I had to reduce the size due to the buoyancy exerted on the glass cover. The plecos munch the exterior and it helps with the water softness and beneficial bacteria.

Here is my 125 gallon mixed Amazon blackwater Biotope. 2 Tefe green discus (5 1/2 inches) 1 Nhamunda blue discus (5 1/2 inches) 1 Rio japura green discus (6 inches) 2 dozen cardinals 3 coral red pencilfish 6 glowlight tetras 5 otocinclus 3 L134 1 L137 3 L333 2 L14 4 L201 2 L10a german true red ...

Thanks for the help! Now after I grow them out they are going to need homes>

I have successfully bred the German non hybrid rineloricaria but unfortunately the first batch surprised me by hatching in my biotope setup......needless to say all fry were lost after about a week ( I am pretty sure due to the coral red pencilfish and the 5 1/2 inch wild discus I have). I planned ...
