Thanks gang. I would say you nailed it on the head. That stinks though, he is a very pretty fish. He isn;t shy at all either like you said, and eats like a pig. I guess we will have to figure out a plan B. Thanks again for the help!

Here is a new catfish my wife and I picked up. We thought we had heard of the title listed above, but it isn't listed here as that and we can't find it. ANy help is appreciated! thanks http://www.aquaria.info/modules.php?set_albumName=Mystry-Catfish&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view ...

Unfortunatly Roach didn't make it. Live and learn I suppose. Now just to make sure everyone else gets better. Thanks everyone.

Thanks MatsP for clearing that up. I will do a a 50% change today. I tested the water again yesterday and it was still reading to high and I did a 25%change. The meds say to treat for at least three days then 48 hours after do a water change that is why I posted what I did. The test reading were ...

Thanks for the post. I replaced the filter minus the charcoal bits in the middle. I do have a black sponge in front of the biobag so I'm trying to figure out if it is carbon based as you said. I read the box and of course it doesn't say. I will try and find a different color for the WHisper 30 at ...

Well I have on update on "roach" the pictus. He is still kicking and his Ich is still there alittle. He moves around a bit more than he used to but mostly in a tight circe or up and down in a straight line on the side of the tank. I did by a test kit to check my levels -- glass tube instead of the 5 ...

Thanks for the posts! I guess your right though there are a gazillion different types and everyone has probobly good and bad stories for each. It seems by looking at several signatures that some breeds are a little more popular than others so I guess I'll just have to browse. Thanks again.

I was wondering in a room full of cat lovers what people may think is the best cat to own. I have the Pictus cat now and I think he is gonna be OK, but for further reference and for further purchaces I would like to know. I have the 30 Gallon tanks and don't want one to get to large. I've heard ...

Thanks for the Posts. I really like the Pictus although I didn't really do my homework on them before I bought him. I bought him at a Mom and Pop type store and the guy there is really nice and seems to really like what he does. Since I have been doing some research I have read they get pretty big ...

Thanks again for the post. We have a 10 gallon tank I thought We could use for a hospital tank, but unfortunatly we just have the tank. No heater or filter. So I am gonna have to treat him in the tank he is in. I turned the heater up to 80/82 from about 78. Its not what he needs I guess but I don't ...

Thanks for the post. The water is testing good so I don't think thats a problem. I did take a real good look at him today and his breathing is good, but he is showing signs of Ich :cry: Nobody else has it so he must be stressed for some reason. I guess I'll have to treat him for that and see if ...

Last week my wife and I went to the petshop and bought a pictus catfish. I've seen them around at many differet stores and being catfish are my favorite species (both to have in aquarium and to fish for :oops: ) I bought him and put him in my tank. I noticed all the pictus cats I had seen have been ...
