Thanks catmar,

That does look like my fish. What is the genus? I can't seem to find anything on P.Olisgospila?

Thanks for all the replies. I was full of crap on the total Length. The fish is 6 inches total length. I measured him. Here are some more pics. http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q104/Heyguy74/DSC01122.jpg http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q104/Heyguy74/DSC01124.jpg http://i134.photobucket.com ...

Thanks for the reply. IS the length on Peckoltia oligospila corerect. This guy is almost 8 inches. I'll measure him to be sure.

I've had this guy for at least 5 years. Hes about 8 inches long. He hasn't grown any for a few years Any help will be appreciated. If I have to catch him and take real closeups pics I will. http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q104/Heyguy74/DSC01110.jpg http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q104/Heyguy74 ...

Thanks for the replies. I'll try to get a better pic. He doesnt seem to like the camera. I usually get one pic and then hes hides in one of the caves.I think he doesnt like the flash. He's in a 360G Hap tank right now. I can tell you he's one tough cookie, nobody messes w/ him. I usually feed algae ...

I hope somebody can ID this guy. I've had him for 2 + years. The pleco is about 8 inches and hasn't grown for a while. I beleive it's pretty much maxed out in size. Any help will be appreciated. Here are a few pics. [img][img]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q104/Heyguy74/125%20Front%20Tank ...

I saw this today on CNN.com. Its not only a new species but a new family. Heres the article.

Thanks for the answers. I kinda figured it wouldn't be easy to get those species. I do like the Rhamdia's. Seems that they would do best in that environment. O well I'll keep looking.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Now, where would I find these species to purchase? I dont think most LFS would have these for sale.

I was wondering what catfish come from the big lakes in CA? I have a 360 gallon tank that i wish to setup with a CA biotope. The tank is 8'x4'x18". It will have a sand substrate and plenty of rocks.I will have smaller cichlids in there ( Convicts, sajicas, firemouths). Nothing larger than 8 inches ...

The Dempsey's are a temp thing w/ the raphaels. Im resealing a 90 gallon tank for them. They have plenty of hiding spots. I was looking for a catfish that would be ok w/ an oscar and flowerhorn. I have a common pleco that w/ them now and they ignore him completly. Problem is they are such messy ...

Is there any catfish that would be ok with big cichlids? I dont want anything that will get too big but big enough to be ok with them. I just found out I have an Asian Red Tail Cat. He's about 15 inches but I understand he'll need his own tank. I have Raphael Cats with my smaller cichlids ( Jack ...

I have no problem with a one fish tank. I have plenty of room in my basement to put any size tank I need to. I like keeping the larger cichlids so another big fish is cool with me. Once I get a fish its mine for life. I already have 8 tanks so the more the better. Most likely I'll build him a tank.

Well looks like its time to get another tank. Thanks alot for all your help.

Thanks alot. I have no problem getting a tank just for him. What is the minimim size tank I should get.

I think I got it now. http://ImageEvent.com/heyguy74/heyguy74firstalbum.
Thanks for the help. Not the best pis but its hard to get him to stay still.

Soory abot no having any pics. I cant figure out how to post them.

I bought the catfish when it was about 8 inches. Its now pushing 15 inches and doesn't look like its gonna stop growing. He can be aggressive when hes not fed on time. Ive seen chucks taken out of my oscar and flowerhorn. The bite marks are definatly from the catfish cause no other fish has trhe ...

Thanks, That's him.

Hi everybody, I was looking through the cat-e-log at some cories(C-27). In the 3rd pic on the top there is a couple of pleco in the pic as well. What kind of plecos are these? I'm pretty sure I have one of these. When I bought the pleco the store called it a Leopard pleco. Is this fish the L008? Any ...
