Sorry.

Yes that is where I found it.

Anyone have the full paper of this aritcle? Or at least the two new names?

I just set up this 20L for some Ancistrus. What can you see (besides fish) that I am missing?

They have spawned in this cave before so I know they like it.

Oops. That is what I meant, L104. Thanks for pointing that out to me. LOL.

Doran

My personal favorite is C robinae. But C weitzmani was my favorite in the poll.

Doran

I have spawned Albino C. aeneus, and regular C paleatus. What is another easy to spawn Cory?

Doran

Thanks. I am convinced I have L105's. Anyone have any experience spawning them?

I know there is information in the Cat-elog, but the Cat-elog doesn't correspond with you.

About a year ago, I bought 5 fish from a LFS. The were labeled Clown Pl#co's. What species are commonly sold with this monicker?

This will help me narrow down my search for more information on them.

Doran

Hey evryone,

I have successfully spawned Ancistrus sp. (4) several times now, (3). And was wondering what a good next step fish to spawn would be. Any suggestions?

I am thinking something like a Hypancistrus or a Peckoltia hopefully, but let me know what you think a good species to breed that isn ...

Hey everyone,

I searched the forum, and couldn't find this info. I know it is VERY basic, but sorry I need it.

What is the species of the "Common" Bristlenose.

Thanks in advance,
Doran Figart

Yes, now that you write it I remember he said the species name but not the genus or family.

Doran

Hey everyone,

Juan Miguel Artigas Azas spoke at my local fish club meeting last night. He mentioned that a new catfish had recently been found in Mexico. He mentioned that it was so different that a new family had been erected for it.

He didn't mention the family or the name of the fish. Anyone ...

Have there been any C numbers assigned since 132? If so what are we up to, and do you have any photos of them to share?

Doran

I talked to the owner of the shop that sold the fish to my wife. He said the fish came in as L241 and so that is how he sold it. (of course we now know that it is L201).<P><P>Now we just want to how to get a few more, so we can try to spawn them.

We are leaning towards L201. Thanks for the input.

Doran

My wife picked up this pl*co. She was told it was L241, but it doesn't match any photos of L241 I have ever seen. Any ideas what its number is?

Does anyone have any information on breeding L 271 ?

How much bigger than the fish does the PVC need to be? For example, this thread started with a L134 pic, so what size PVC would you use?

Doran

This pic looks exactly like what I saw at the shop.

Doran

Any ideas. I coulnd't see anything that really matched. But I don't have alot of "fancy" pleco experience.

Doran

I went to my local "Chain Home Improvement" store, and they don't carry Terra Cotta Tiles. Any ideas of where I might find some.

Doran

Close but not quite. It was more reddish-brown than dark-grey.

What is this cave made out of? Where can I get similar material to make some. Thanks to the photographer and PlanetCatfish for the photo.

Doran

I saw an Peckoltia sp. today at a LFS and it was called "Colombian Zebra Pleco". Any one have any idea what the L # for it is?

Doran

<img src=http://www.aquabid.com/uploads/fwcatfish1118872647.jpg>

What is this fish? They are for sale on Aquabid as "Peppermint Pleco".

Doran

Are you saying I could keep 4 seperate species in EACH 29 Gallon tank?

Should you not keep two species from the same genus in the same tank?

Doran

I think Lee's makes a plastic divider that can "easily" be removed by you later. I have used them before for similar setups. YOu should be able to find them at your LFS or at the Big Chains.

Doran

How bid do L260's get? How bid do they spawn at?

Doran

How big do gold-nuggets need to be to spawn? I usually see them about 3 inches in the stores. I have seen one full grown one in a shop, it was about 13-15 inches.
