so i went to a pet store in another town and they had all these different cats in one tank but all sold as pictus for $3 big one $6, i noticed that they were different and picked up 3 small ones and ol big. I'm thinking the small ones are tetramerus around 3" put them in 55 with ombok pabdas, and ol ...

My Hora's (i have 6 of them) definitely have a pecking order and you sometimes see them in a dominance battle. Battle is a strong word, it's more of twisting around each other and then usually one swims away, and turns and it starts over. Weird thing is, they prefer to be in each others company ...

Thanks so much for sharing. Congrats on the new cats. I'm about to order some Malawi Synos from Wet Spot & was hesitant. Seeing yours came through just fine makes it a bit easier to go ahead & pull the trigger. sweet dude! glad i could help, most of his are wild caught so you may want to quarantine ...

thanks for the quick reply and advice

not necessary getting another cat but have to house my buddies mystus bocourti, hi fin mystus about 5", while he moves could he go into tank with bagroides melapterus harlequin lancer? would there be aggression or should i house him in another tank? thanks

I really like the Harlequin lancer cat. Would like to get one someday myself. Glad the mottled is doing well in brackish. the harlequin is very solitary so far whereas the rest all jam under the same piece of driftwood except the churros hes planted himself in front of the powerhead with his mouth ...

doing great in brackish tank now

What is the footprint for your 90 gallon tank? Your current stocking, when adult, will vastly exceed the requirements of a 6x2 foot tank without any new additions. of the fish you are getting then the Platystacus cotylephorus & breitensteinia insignis may suffer as they do not compete well for food ...

I have not had problems per se but based on size/body shape of the banjo cats vs the sun cats [and especially the gulpers],* I think you will have problems down the road. How soon, I can't say. I do own sun cats and banjos but I keep them separately. Also the mottled banjo is supposedly a somewhat ...
