with not recieving a reply im assuming this fish is fairly hard to get hold of??

if anyone in the south cheshire, england is interested in the whereabouts of the shop please IM me, last time i looked they had 3 left

clarias batrachus of course!

I bought one of these on saturday but cant find out much information on wot to feed it ect if anyone else has kept these and has any tips it would be very helpful at the mo he is at the settling in stage where im not seeing much of him and im not sure hes eating yet. also ive seen about 4 different ...

Im glad im not the only one that was disapointed with this "documentary" The hype the previous week had got me and the family rearranging our shedules so we could be in to watch each one ive never seen such a moaning bunch of wussies! im sure all nature program crews come across the same kinds of ...

i see him on your avatar thingy, well i think maybe a he anyway altho dont hold me to that has he got any white spots on his dorsal fin? maybe you can see on the black splodge i got one that colour a month ago it was less than an inch long awwww, getting nearer 2 inches now bless , dont they grow up ...

Hiya en1gma nice to meet yet another clarias fan!! i've read somewhere you can sex them by white spots on the fins, however 2 of mine are albinos which renders that method useless my friend wolfgang who is prolly one of the most knowlegeable ppl on clarias i have spoken to tells me the females are ...

jurassic i paid £10 each for one that size and one an inch smaller
they seem to be apearing a bit more in the shops around me now, i bought a £4.50 tiddler about 3 weeks ago
in the shop near me they have about a 12 inch one which i think is male for £40

hiya myth its nice to meet another one!! I'm amazed how many clarias fans have come out the woodwork, i dont feel so alone now LOL Wolfgang has studied some pictures of my fish and reckons i have 1 of each so im hoping to be as lucky as him at some point altho i doubt i could find homes for a lot of ...

ok i shall stop worrying lol, but i might still go for sand as the new tank is going right next to my sofa and all that flying gravel can really put you off watching eastenders

always worry they are going to smash the tank silurius they really do chuck it around !

i shall definately give the angolensis a miss then and stick with the batrachus, no urge to have a massive bad tempered clariad in the house im back from holiday now and all my fish are fine and should be starting to set up the new tank fairly soon. I shall have to think very carefully about what i ...

hiya Laguviashawi , Not sure where they came from , not a lot of info was forthcoming from the shop but i am now fascinated by clariiads and would like some more they are indeed the best fish i have ever kept and getting bigger by the day! i have seen some clarias angolensis (that was the label ...

oh paula im so sorry for your loss
20 years is a long time to have any animal as a companion
take comfort in the fact that you did absolutely everything you could have done and more

ive got one of those too (Parauchenoglanis macrostoma ) cost me £1 at a dinky size and a nice looking fish now hes grown a bit

Congratulations taratron thats a dream job!
enjoy

actually i agree im afraid .. i would desperately love a rtc and i mean desperately, and yeah i see them in lfs for £35 or there abouts at 4" and i drool over them and yes they are little and cute but.... my house aint big enough for anything bigger than a 6ft tank, ok i could buy it and keep it t ...

well good luck with that
might be the most expensive live food u ever bought LOL

thanks thats really helpful ill go find a large encyclopeadia or something LOL no they are not a confirmed pair i think they are prolly tank spawned and from the same spawning they are albino so i cant tell if they are male or female i actually bought one and then went back for the other the next ...

sorry i should add that the clarias are 5 inches and 4 inches at the momment

mostly hoping to find other ppl that keep them or have kept them really well we seem to be doing great with water parameters feeding ect one of them is even hand feeding id like to know .. 1) how strong does my lid need to be?(ive put an inner lid on the tank made from perspex 2) has anyone been ...
