hi, i had a similar experience;
we had a male fighter to three females, and my corys, mainly the tiny pandas were getting a bit nipped at.
sadly we lost all the fighters in a nasty bout of bacterial infection, all in the space of a couple of hours =(
however, now my pandas couldn't be happier!

i really like the pseudocanthicus type plecs, and in all the writing on them it says they are more carnivores, but not predatory.

now i was just wondering, is there a predatory pleco, rather than just a carnivorous scavanger?

thats what i would have assumed, but he stays around for about ten seconds; flapping around, causing a kerfuffle!
theres about 25 corys in there with him, none have done anything similar, and he's only started doing it recently...

we've got an air pump going on the tank; its been there well before ...

silurus; you're a star!
thank you x

i picked up a solitary cory. delphax from my LFS. they had no others, and said no more were going to come in, so i took the poor guy home.
he's been settled in for the past five months+ now, and is fine in every way; healthy, growing. he tends to hang out with the elegans i have.

now a couple of ...

to be honest, i would really just like some good photos, and more information on the fish themselves.
thanks for the link!

there was a very good website from australia with the latest pictures of the results of trawls/ submersibles.
what got me wet was seeing a book one of the scientists had open ...

thanks ian;
your right- the picture i saw did appear to have burgundy/ normal eye colouration.

A bit of a long shot, but this is a fishy question, so i thought i'd air it here!
are there any deep sea fish fans in the house?
i'm in love with all those deep sea guys, and i was wondering if anyone had any good websites or books they could recommend?

i saw a promising book on amazon, but it was ...

hi folks;
i came across mention of albino corydorus pandas being bred now.
is there anyone here who owns them yet?

i'm just curious to know if the albinism is similar to cory. sterbai; you know how the lil pectorals still remain orange while the rest of the fish is albino.
does the panda have pink ...

Sorry I never got back sooner- thanks for the advice!
In the end I decided on a gorgeous baby L128, blue phantom, only about an inch long!
smller adult size and a nice friendly pekoltia type; he shares food with my female ancistrus- i think she tries to mother him!
Heâ??s been settled in for about ...

Personally, I have far too much respect for my fish to abuse them just for kicks; especially as it was obviously detrimental to the fish's well being.

Its sad that someone has to make rude and abusive remarks to staff just because they're trying to do their job, and I agree wholeheartedly with the ...

hi everyone!
i've got a mature 3 foot tank- water parameters; nitrite always zero, nitrate less than 10mg/l, pH 6.5.
its currently home to my pair of ancistrus sp. in a gold form, three otos, and about 20 corydorus.
its heavily planted and has large chunks of bogwood.

i've seen a beautiful LDA33 ...

hi,
just to introduce myself!
my names jane, i'm a massive catfish fan. i'm into L numbers, while my husband loves his corys.
we have about 50, a mix of panda/ bronze and elegans, and the occasional one off that looked all alone/ill at the fish shop!
other cats include otos, syno nigriventris zebra ...
