Hello Everyone... sorry about the lack of posting . Busy busy... The Cataclysm event two weeks ago went very well. A lot of catfish went through the rare fish auctions. Great speakers. Lots of fun. We will start planning Cataclysm 2017 very soon. The stock shop has fewer catfish than before ...

Anyone interested in Lophiosilurus alexandri...

I received a new order from Peru. Lots of catfish on this one: Platydoras armulatus Pseudohemiodon apithanos Hassar orestes Ancistrus sp. Panaquolus sp. L351 Panaquolus albivermis (flash pleco) Panaquolus albomaculatus (galaxy) Panaquolus sp. L206 Leptodoras juruensis Tennellus trimaculatus ...

Great pics! You are really putting the weight onto them. They look really good.

Not sure what the price will be (have not heard back from the collector). Once I know what they want I should be able to ballpark the price, but overhead changes from order to order, and I never know the final until the fish are tanked.

A have a shot at some Cephalosilurus apurensis on my next Colombia order (middle of September). Not sure of the cost yet. Is anyone interested in this species? Not something I want to house and feed if there is no interest.

Most of the cory cats are on sale this week, hoping to clear some space for a new Peru order coming August 26. This is the order placed while I was there, and there are going to be some interesting catfish coming up in it. 5% off all invoices for using the PlanetCatfish code: YMAAR2HY An additional ...

Hello Everyone.... Here is a 5% discount code for PlanetCatfish.com users. This discount is in addition to any other discounts on the website, and I will be sending PlanetCatfish 5% of all sales that are generated with this code. The code will change monthly. There are no limitations on the number ...

Almost all the cory cats are on sale in the stock shop this weekend. Please take a look. I have a lot of fish in stock right now. Sales run from Thursdays to the following Wednesday, and then they change, so you have a few days left until the cories go back to the regular price. Lots of interesting ...

Hi Jools,

You are the second person to suggest A. acsi, but we have posted a lot of more detailed pics over on FaceBook and the brain trust has been stumped. It is a very neat little fish though.

Lots of catfish available right now. Rare cories, wood cats, banjos, plecos.... too many to list. Please take a look:

Thanks Randy for starting this conversation... A few clarifications: The room rate is $89/night and includes a hot breakfast. There is also a free shuttle between the airport and hotel (very short ride), for anyone flying in for the event. Demand determines room block, so when we launch the ...

A couple observations on this fish having had them for a couple days. They aggregate together strongly, even in a relatively large tank (30 breeder). They group together in a ball under a piece of wood. They do not sit still when disturbed, so getting a shot in the tank they are in proved impossible ...

Thanks everyone... I will try to get some better pictures of them tomorrow, especially A.

Thank you.... Marc... with all due respect... I am fully aware that fish cannot read, and that most of us are 'arm chair ichthyologists' having some fun with fish that we get sporadic access to. Range data on many fish in the world is woefully incomplete. I have personally collected fish species a ...

Doubtful that D is T. gyrina... these fish came from Peru, and the PlanetCatfish profile described distribution as being Suriname....?

T. galaxias also appears to come from much further north and east.

The 'royal laoricaria' flavor of the week.... http://tedsfishroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/edit_loricaria_royal_20141031_0358-e1414813426960.jpg Four different woodcats A http://tedsfishroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/edit_wood_cat_A_20141031_0276.jpg B http://tedsfishroom.com/wp-content ...

I have had some feedback on using Repashy to medicate. The trick is to add the medications when the food has cooled enough to not negatively affect the medication. Metro is pretty heat tolerant, so it can go in after the mix has only cooled slightly. Antibiotics are less heat tolerant, so what users ...

Be careful... I sent a box to Australia that was stopped, confiscated and destroyed. I know that Allen is working on getting a legitimate importer established there. I have sent food to Europe without any problems.

I mix up 1 oz or so at a time and store it in the fridge. It is good for two weeks or so, but it only takes me a few days to feed it all. If you are mixing very small amounts, it works better to mix the powder with cold water and then heat it until boiling in a microwave. Use a container that has ...

I have at least 100 fry that are now eating. Small fry compared to C. duplicareus. I have received some advice to keep them in RO water and very acid. Currently they are still in their hatching cup (a liter beaker with a bubbler). I use RO water and put a layer of long-fiber sphagnum moss for them ...

The eggs hatched yesterday. Looks like about a 90% hatch rate...

Shane.... I have not noticed a horrible odor, but I mix it differently than the directions on the package (which tell you to mix it while the water is cold and microwave it until it boils). I put the powder in a bowl and then ad boiling water to it while whisking. Standing over it I do not get a ...

Thank you!

Most underrated... I will give a shout to . How many people have this species as their first catfish, first cory cat and first catfish spawn?

On a side not... how do you get the species name to become a link to an image?

Very hard to pick... Of what I am keeping at the moment, I would have to say .

I have been conditioning a group of C. caudimaculatus for a few months, and was rewarded today with a lot of spawning. I was able to get some video. It is the current post in my blog: www.tedsfishroom.com

@ Shane... yes, that's me. Look forward to meeting you!
