Well the choice was kind of taken away from me. The catfish were larger than I thought they would be. Large enough that fear of them eating my beloved sumo loaches forced me to put them in the fifty-five for now. I can see that at some point they will have to be moved to a larger tank. I got rid of ...

I`m picking up a couple P. siamensis and have a couple tanks I can put them in. Which do you think better? Fifty-five gallon with an assortment of barbs in the 2' plus range and two each of Yoyo and Burma Border loaches in the 3" range. Or would my 125g Hillstream tank with larger barbs and ...

It looks like spoon feed mysis shrimp is the way to go. How is that these guys will swim over food without eating it but will snatch it up when you drop in right in front of them? Seriously, how do they make it in the wild? No one is going to hand feed them there. Thanks for the help everyone, seems ...

Silurus, That has not be doable in my 125. I will try it tonight and let you know how it goes. Racall, I have been shutting off the filter but not my manifold. I plan to do that tonight as well. Thank you both, and Dave for the input. I am not really sure what to try tonight since they have turned ...

O.K., so I shared a couple PM`s with Dave who I think knows more about these fish than I do since he has 17 of them. He suggested I post regarding the fact mine are not doing well. I have decide to move mine to a 20l of their own because the barbs and barilius are just plain to crazy for them to ...

Attention Dave, PM sent.

While I can`t narrow it down to a single fish (sorry, you are just asking too much) I could, if forced to, come up with a short list. For now I am focused on Asian fish generally so the catfish would be Asian. Not in any particular order I would say anything Glyptothorax, Asian bumblebee and ...

Boisterous, yep that`s the word for it. The Barilius and clown barbs feed in the dark! So the glyptos are having to compete even after lights out. I have gone to throwing some pellets to distract the other fish then dumping in the blood worms. It appears to have helped as my catfish have a fuller ...

Thanks for posting the pics Dave. Do you have any trouble getting you lampris to eat? Mine are still very thin and I can`t swear they are eating. The one in the pic looks nice and plump. I am also on the look-out for another species but am waiting to see if these are going to eat first. Richard ...

I purchased three G. lampris last week and I was wondering if there were any fans of not just lampris but any glypto species around. I have kind of become obsessed with the whole hillstream thing and these little guys fit right in. Mine are in a 125 set up with a manifold system so they have plenty ...
