Thank you for the information. I've just had a knee reconstruction and have been unable to sit in front of a computer.

The more I look at the group the more interested I become. In terms of the temperature range in Myanmar will they tolerate water below 14oC with occasional drops to 12oC? I also ...

I had read that site before I posted my questions. The information is fairly generic but one of the better places that I found for information.

Hi all,

Been a while since I've visited and posted on PC but have returned to ask the brains trust some information.

There are some Akysis species floating around in the eastern states of Australia. I'm mildly interested in them but am wondering about biology (habitat, water parameters ...

Hi all,

I am trying to track down Fred Small. One of the moderators one this forum gave him my contact details about two years ago. I have been unable to contact him for a while now. He was a great source of information for the synos I keep and I would like to pass on some of my successes and ...

According to the Attorney Generals Dept http://www.frli.gov.au/comlaw/legislation/legislativeinstrument1.nsf/b68b36cfc8b63e0eca256f8500060bc7/8cace40f77b01f1fca256fe3002086ff?OpenDocument&VIEWCAT=attachment&COUNT=25&START=1


They will be allowing new species to be added to the Schedule 6 of ...

Can you tell us more about the conditions when and leading up to when your L134s bred?

Adam

Hi all,

Thought it was time I made another post. I've just drained my syno tank to sex and check the fish. Its a 1000l tank with 3 x S. decorus, 10 x S. eupterus, 11 x S. njassae and 9 x S. multipunctatus. I've got the SL's for the fish and canulation results somewhere. I tell you what though the ...

I've got three of these. They did not take to the vegetables that I tried a couple of times. They've settled in on a 2mm pellet that is about 48% protien. I give them a spiriluna pellet every now and again as well. The advice that Janne gives in her article in Shanes World I found very helpfull as ...

They might accept them if they were a darker colour. I'm just looking around for some to try. However I think the "tight" fit is more important. Interestingly I made a similiar cave with a side enterance, instead of in the end. These are the last ones to be occuplied by both the L134s and ...

Hi all,

Am having trouble when I access the Catelog from the main page /core. I see the right hand side frame fame. The left one, were it normally comes up with the species ordered by family is a column of cobbledegook eg

‹ì][sÛ8–~Ÿ_¡õÃâ€

There seems to be a variety of caves that are being used for these fish. Descriptions are really good but can we take some time to post pictures of the caves that we use?

I found that round caves were not prefered by the L134s and Peppermints that I keep. They would also not use the caves that I ...

Jools,

I know your more busy than most so I don't want to hassle you, but... How are you going with getting this online?

Adam

Barbie,

How did the talk go? How soon will before we see the talk and Q&A session online?

Adam

Barbie and Larry,

Thats great. Will it be possible to log the chat session and make it available to those of us unable to get online at that time?

Adam

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm having trouble getting pictures. These are photos of some fish from the same group from which mine came.

Does this help? or do I really need to get the profile and mouth?

Adam

I'll see if I can get a shot of the tail and also the mouth. Not sure how I'll go though.

Adam

Hi all,

I was sold these fish as L134 or Leopard frog Pleco. But I think they may actually be Peckoltia vittata instead.

What do you good people think?

Adam

Hi all,

I've searched this site and googled were I can. I'm looking for information on the water chemistry of this system and biotypes.

I am asking because I am getting four 5cm L134 (Leopard Frog Pleco). I know the system is a clearwater and has a low conductivity (approx. 100uS/cm).

Also does ...

Have a look at this link http://pub79.ezboard.com/fperthcichlidsocietyfrm5.showMessage?topicID=144.topic (which you'll have to paste into your browser and change the * to the proper letters ichlid) to find out more about the peppermints that are in Australia and other peoples success with them ...

I was treating calammanus, an intestinal worm. I picked it up in the system because I saw the worms hanging out the anus of the fish. I treated at midday. By the 6pm there were obviously fewer worms hanging out. All but the most infected fish were clear by 24 hours. It totally cleared from the most ...

Barbara,

I've recently used levamisole to treat a tank with some S. njassae and para cyps. The pH was around the 7.5-8.0 mark. I added the treatment to the water at a rate of 1ml per 7 liters. Then 24 hours later did a 20% water change. It treated the problem and there was no stock loses.

I did ...

THanks for the replies guys. I've had a good search over the internet and found most of the english sites I think. My question is more aimed at what P. brevis is called here at planet catfish. The L# that it is referred to by most other sites doesn't appear here, and the species name doesn't appear ...

Hi all,

I've been offered some sort of L number but am unsure as to what it is. L numbers other than the common bristlenose and peppermint are very rare in Australia. The person is offering them as Peckoltia Brevis. I can't find them in the Catelog. I did find an old thread were there was a ...

Can the presence of the smaller spots on the head be used as a means of determining maturity?

Adam

Hi all,

I've got a question regarding S. njassae. I bought 3 that look like the pictures that SG_Eurystomus posted last December http://www.forum.planetcatfish.com/viewtopic.php?t=1708&highlight=njassae . I bought a further 5 a couple of months after from the same LFS from a second batch they had ...

My tanks don't really get all that cold. I've kept C. sterbai upto about 32oC for a few days and above 30oC for over 2 months with out any real problems. Besides that I think their one of the better looking species.

I'm sure there are many others from a similiar biotype.

Adam

Steve,

In terms of biofilters, trickle filters (media out of water) are more efficient than submerged filters (media in the water). In practical terms this has great benefits when tanks have enormous bio loads. For the home aquaria the benefits aren't as great. The savings in space and money can be ...

The return to the sump relies on gravity. When the pump input into the tank = the gravity return there will be water in the tank higher than the stand pipe. This is what I called the standing water. Because when the power goes out or the pump is turned off this water above the stand pipe will drain ...

I prefer to make my own sumps and filters. They can be noisy... but I don't mind the sound of running water, mind you guests seem to go to the bathroom a lot. I have seen some niffty ways of beating the noise factor though from some marine sites. Try this link http://saltaquarium.about.com/gi ...

many ingested plastics mimic the effects of certain hormones, especially sexual hormones.

Dinyar,

Can you please explain this statement more fully...
