ive seen it before and i think i know someone who has some. ill ask him what teh species is but i dont know if he has the species or not.

Can i keep one in a 75. I would keep it in my current 55 until i get My 75 set up.

Yup its a mystus. WOuld it last in a 55 for a few months with mostly 4" until i can move it to a 75?

it isnt a syno. I am pretty sure it is a Mystus now. i forgot to mention it had big Long barbels like a pictus. Th eonly thin gi cant quite recall is if it had Silver on it

i saw a Upside down catfish in my LFS the other day. Its not a syno nigriventis. It was about 8" and wsa listed as a Upside down synodontis. It was all black and looks similiar to a Mystus Leucophasis. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it might be.

AAAAAAAAAAA. the poll question is unfair. I cant decide between synos and pims

common name is marbled Raphael, Marbled talking catfish i think.

You can't post pictures directly on this site, you have to post them on some other site and link to them here. Look at the sticky post on the top of "What's my catfish" forum.

Btw, the number of species in the Loricariid fish section is 466, so you'd have to click "next" a fair few times to find ...

I have what i believe to be a Common Pleco. Do they eat Bogwood because mine seems to spend a lot of time On the wood. I think he eats cucumber

can u make that picture bigger? I think i have the same kind as u but it doesnt look like any pictures o nthis site

also it would be cool to have a button that goes to the next entry especially for the pl*cos so that anyone who doesnt know what theres is can just go through it with a lot less clicking.

Ehm... I think there's about 400 "pl*co's" in the list, so that's an awful lot of clicking even if there's a ...

if they are both Bristlenoses then i dont think ti counts as a hybrid if a normal one breeds with an albino

would my two pictus benifit from having a tunnel to hide in or maybe a long piece of slate leaned against the back pane to create a tunnel???????

Well i have 3 an dthere are a few tunnels in my tank but they will kjust swim through it. It isnt beneficial or harmful. I have never seen mine stop ...

I think it would be really cool to have a list that goes by size in the Catfish log so people can see what would and would not fit in their tank.

yeah. I have a bogwood tunnel that he wedged himself in. HE is like upside down in the roof of the tunnel. I dont think it is hard for him to get out. He is just anti social.

I am very sorry as i dont have a picture yet but i will try to descreibe it.

It is a Olive gree/brown color with Lighter patches of almost white and some very thin white lines that look to be random. On its head it has some Yellowish, Green markings. It has 3 rows of Spikes on its side. If there is ...

well i got shrimp pellets but he ddint eat them. I Will try to get some shrimp. What kind is best? like something from the grocery store?

alright. Do u mean cocktail shrimp?

I was just wonndering what food from the kitchen My Raphael Might like. he doesnt seem to like the pellets and i havent seen him eat in months.

well My 55 is 4' long by 13" back by 20" high. JD's get to 10" and i am pretty sure it will do fine in my tank. Mine is 2" right now. I am just asking if there is anything Bigger and more interesting than a bristlenose that i could get. Dont thresher Plecs get to like 7"?

It is not a second dorsal fin, it is an adipose fin.

Oops. I didnt know what it was called so i went with a guess.

Well I have decided i want to add a Pleco to My 55. There is one at My LFS i really Like. It is a grey background With Speckles of lighter grey. It looks exactly Like a blue fin thresher Plec but it doesnt have the forked tail. I want either this one or a Common. Would a common be Ok in a 55. I have ...

I always identify Catfish by Body Shape, Fin shape and pattern. For example Yur Ocellifer has a Second Dorsal FIn (is it a fin?) that is shaped Like a ridge And that clearly Identifies it as Ocellifer. Also Pattern Plays a big Part

Just a question but what kind of catfish is that. The closest thing i have seen is a Banjo

wow. I would feel bad keeping one of those in my 55 and wouldnt even consider a 10 except for growout. That is just Not right. Someone should post a comment on their telling that lady what Really Happens to Big plecs in a 10.

Well Today while i was moving some driftwood i found My Raphael Cat and confirmed that he is still inside My tank and alive. I was looking at him to make sure he was ok and i noticed his tail looked odd. Instead of having a curvy tail His was completely flat. I immediately though fin rot or fin ...
