Also Walstad tanks required sunlight so real algae fanatics would have plenty to sustain them as long as the plants didn't rob all the nutrients from the algae


Since when do they? None of mine do. One of mine is a 25L has a 11W bulb overhead and it has Riccia amongst other growing well in it ...

Interesting use of black worms.

I use Walstad tanks (layer of soil) and whilst the 40,000+ species of bacteria and fungi in the soil breaks down food, etc., I think some of these worms would help aerate the upper level better and provide some extra food for my fish.

But being in the UK, I can not ...

I am interesting in this as I must be missing something here. What software specifically?

But only for the purpose of viewing in a web-site - not distributing it in any other form - see below.


But surely that is 100% what an offline web site is doing?
From my point of view there is no difference from having a text or image file in a temp or cache folder of a web browser or in a ...

But when you view an image off the Internet, you are in fact distributing it aren't you?

In any case it's easy for a web admin to do a mass email to all its members and for it to be known there is going to be a condition change and people have to opt-out if they object.

I tried to find a 'terms ...

Hi Julian,

Ever thought about creating a offline version of your site?

There is now free packages that run Apache, mysql, php, etc. all from a USB stick or your local drive.
These allow you to view the site via a web browser as if you're getting it off the Internet.

I've managed to get the site ...

Corydoras sterbai

Wow. That was quick! Many thanks Dave!

I did look through the Corydorus thumbnail page but I guess I got overloaded with images and couldn't see it.

Do you think the barbels will grow back then?

It seems to have no difficulty finding food without them.

Hi folks,
I've rescued a Cory from a very dirty 3' tank containing a 12" Crayfish and this lone Cory.

Can anyone id the species?

He appears to have lost his barbels and has some dorsal damage which will probably heal.

Will the barbels grow back do you think?

I'd like to thank everyone for their contribution to my issue.

I can correct my own images and my Aquarium Wiki Encyclopaedia page on this fish.

So at least there will be 4 sites with the correct picture of this popular fish on it!



Many thanks.

This is interesting.

So you're saying the picture on PlanetCatfish looks the same as the one on otocinclus.de?

http://www.otocinclus.de/affinis.htm
But they don't look like the same fish to me.
Or is it me?
:-)

Wow. That's a lot of websites with the wrong species.

The image in PlanetCatfish ...

When I look for images of Otocinclus affinis on the Internet I get pictures of a very different fish to what PlanetCatfish has.

PlanetCatfish : Otocinclus affinis

Fishbase: http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=11332&CFID=27442438&CFTOKEN=11819941

So is Otocinclus affinis on the ...

I've found that it happens around feeding time. How about you? :?:
Amanda

I've only seen it the once and I wasn't feeding them.

They were at it for quite a while (20mins roughly) which allowed me to get my camera out.

Odd, it's not been widely documented anywhere and it is (I assume) unusual ...

I've had these Leopard Cory cats (Corydoras trilineatus) for 6 months now and today I saw some unique (well to me) behaviour for the first time.

So I was wondering if anyone could help.

I've also got 3 Peppered Corys in this same tank and these court in the
usual way, male tries nuzzling his mouth ...

The article refers to an article 'catfish of the month' on this site.

But it's a broken link.

Can you help?

I ask because it's not got very distintive bands along its body like in the PlanetCatfish Gallery.

I've had it about 6 months and its very shy.
I've got bits of bogwood in the tank but I've yet to see it chew on it.

This fish is about 2-2.5" long.

I got 2 of these recently to go in with my 5 Peppered Corys and in the clear light of day I realised they're not quite the same. :shock:

The fish's blotchy colour is quite black with a white skin and its not got the usual green sheen of Peppers and the nose on this fish looks longer than my ...

Glyptoperichthys joselimaianus

You can tell it's Glyptoperichthys with the number of dorsal rays... It should be 7 for a Ancistrus...

Many thanks for that MatsP!

I'll sent them an email to correct their mistake.

Can some kind person help id this fish?

UDA shop in Cuper, UK had these Plecos in stock last week.
They claim they are "Big-Spot Plecostomus L125 (BristleNose) Hypostomus spp." £6.99

But the picture on their label didn't look the fish in the tank!

I've some pictures of Corydoras trilineatus and I've noticed PlanetCatfish doesn't have a section for this Cory. Just Corydoras julii.

Can I donate a couple to the site for their use?

You're welcome to my images.

You're a gem, you really are.

Spot on.

Thanks for the info. I've donated a few quid to your site.

Hi folks,
I've had this lone catfish in my tank for a year and he seems to be very chummy with my Corys. He certainly seems to think he is a Cory!

He is the length of my Bronze Corys.


I first I thought he was a Oto, but he has a adipose fin and the Otos I've seen don't.

If would be great if ...

It is now! I've fixed this link now and added the link feature Mats was talking about elsewhere. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, that's what this topic is all about.

Mats has answered that as I wrote this but you're more than welcome. I recognise that triops website, I think I'm a member ...

OK, I've been putting this off for years but the cat-elog alone is now 10,000 files and growing. I need to rationalise a few things.

So, there will likely be broken links galore as I change things around. You'll notice that most generated pages will change to uppercase. This will allow me to ...
