As a database Fishbase is good but also for information it is a (very large) pinch of salt. Databases can be tricky to create with what you include and exclude.

Personally, I would not use a pond. Just too difficult to monitor the fish and make sure they are healthy, eating, and getting along.

Yes, look in the Catelog and Shane's World for pictures and further habitat information. I don't think the tank needs to be gigantic. You could raise a group in a 100-125 gallon tank easily. Once you have an identified pair (or even trio) they could be housed in their own 125. You could sell off ...

I have captured hundreds of P. nigrolineatus new born fry in the Venezuelan llanos, so they definitely hatch there. They are usually found on the submerged branches and leaves of terrestrial trees. They appear to feed in this environment until they reach about 1.5 inches. Beyond that size they are ...

Thanks! I wish we had more data on the parameters/tank setup of the few events of accidental panaque breeding. I believe there's speculation some species may dig a nest in mud, rather than cave spawning. Stephen Huang has gotten them to produce eggs, but I believe he gave up because the fry kept ...
