I live in Hollywood FL..... my patio is full of UGF panels that I yanked out
of my tanks... for sale.. really really cheap!!

I have one... about 6" ... the cat hides most of the time in driftwood....
comes out sometimes when I do the feedings...
I feed with Spectrum pellets..... the small ones.... He also comes out
sometimes when I put some spirulina disc (Wardleys) in the tank....

I have him with a bunch of synodontist ...

I have a 37 gallon with very fine sand and a couple of flower pots
cut in half.... Only plants is a big blob of java moss.
Tank is full of cory cats so I got a dozen lemon tetras to fill the mid
and upper portion of the tank...
Lemons are nice to have in that they are very interactive with
each ...

Tank is planted with mostly jave ferns... I put some
zucchini in there sometimes, but not all the babies
flock to it.... normally I feed my fish a variety of foods
as well as spirulina disc.....
the adults seem to be doing good with all their breeding
activity and the pooo that they deliver about ...

I have a 150g tank heavily loaded with catfish, i.e. most synodnotis...
feather fins (10), Alberti (5), lace (1), angelicus (2), (2) hammerheads,
and (10) USDers....
As well as 4 hopols, and 3 plecos..... oh yea, an American catfish and
an Asian Bubblebee catfish.....
I run a wet/dry bio-rocker on ...

I have a pair that has laid 4 clutches of eggs within about 2 months....
the first batch hatched... took about 2 weeks... then the day they
were hatching I noticed the female laid another clutch under one
of the whisper 3 filters.... then a week later another batch under
the other filter.... and ...

Nice Pic of L095, orange cheek. I have one about 11" long.
How big is yours? I feed mine zucchini and spirulina disc....
What does your's eat?

maybe the fish could be a
Ameiurus catus, the american
white catfish.
I have one about 4" long that
the lfs got in with its ghost shrimp
when it was about 3/4" long.[/i]

tank capacity in triple digets? ~cholula

I don't speak Japanese either but this web site is sooooo cool!

You can see a different fish every time you click on him.
Just saw the S. nigriventris and C. schwartzi. So cute! Thanks for the link.

Wow nice pictures! You must have a really good camera.
We have hillstream loaches too. How can you tell if they're male or female?

Hey at least I was right about Asia

This link works just fine:

Looks like some kind of Asian catfish to me, maybe a Mystus?

PS: ooops... didn't know HH already had the pic

Good, I'd hate to hear about your red tailed cat eating your hoplos one day! :wink:
Make sure to tell the store what he is so the next person who buys him knows what to expect.
Just from the pictures I would say the smaller tank looks better. I love the canopy and the rocks! Are those plants real ...

Hmm... give her a catfish for her birthday! Or name one after her. A pretty one please!!!

*laughing* yes get many holpos!
125 gallons... what are the measurements? Our 150 is 6 feet long, 18 inches deep and 24 inches tall. In the picture it looks like the 125 might have the same foot print. If that's true go with a taller tank, it takes up the same room but you have more water. And with ...

Rusty that is not true!!!
My husband got me addicted to fish about a year ago.
I got a 10" Pellegrini pleco for Christmas LOL

Nothing to worry about, they just like to hang upside-down. 8)
Hope you have some driftwood in your tank or something else they can hide under. Their common name is feather fin syno BTW. How many of these fish do you have? We have 10
http://www12.brinkster.com/mrsfish/eupterus.html
They are ...

Why don't you just get some more pepper cories if you have the room.
They would be happier in a group of about 6. What size tank is it?

Hi, I'm basically in the same situation with my Corydoras paleatus.
Don't have any ramshornsnails. Will trumpet snails or pond snails do the job?

Hello. I need some help from cory experts. I know next to nothing about breeding corys and I didn't plan to either but our Corydoras paleatus have spawned tonight! We have over 40 eggs and right now they are in a net suspended in the tank where they were laid. Here are the pics:
http://www12 ...

Wow, looks nice! Interesting project. What size tank is that?
Can't wait to see fish in there. Sure they'll love it.

Thanks for your replies.
Gibbo, he is now 10 inches long and shouldn't get a whole lot bigger than that. I read that the largest specimen ever found was 35 centimeters (14 inches). Wish we could have gotten a smaller one and watch him grow up but for some reason they said they can only get adults in.

Hi, we got a beatiful pleco last Saturday. Looked him up in the library and they call him Pseudorinelepis genibarbis. At other web sites I found the name Pseudorinelepis pellegrini. At the store we were told he was a Pellegrini Pleco and his L-number was L-095. So I guess Pseudorinelepis genibarbis ...

I got a question for you, BobsUncle. You say your pleco is only one and a half years old and already a foot long? Wow, I didn't know they grow so fast! Is that true or did I misunderstand your info? Some of my plecos I've had for months and they don't seem to have grown a bit

Every pleco is special

Just looked up Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps in the library... it has a bunch of L-numbers:
L083a, L083b, L083c, L083d, L164 and L196

Now is that confusing or what?

*agrees with HH* Nothing to worry about. My pellegrini pleco does it too, not so frequently though. Only strange thing about it is that you have never observed this behavior before. Oxygen level in your tank might have dropped, have you changed anything? I don't know the reason why he does it now if ...

Yes, the java moss is just floating, not attached to anything. It collects in a big cloud on the bottom of the tank and some gets stuck on the filter intake and the heater. You just have to stir it up every once in a while so the filter can pick up dirt that collects in it. The cory cats like to get ...

So we have three species to choose from. That doesn't make it easier.
Thanks a lot for the info!

I have five schwartzis, they are some of my favorite cories and looked for info about breeding them too. Couldn't find anything either, some web sites say C. schwartzi has never been successfully bred in captivity and all the specimens you see at the stores are wild caught. They are seasonal too and ...
