Thanks all.

I havent seen it since the photo...

You can't see it very clearly, but he does have orange on his dorsal and caudal.

Not the worlds best photo but I imagine it might be sufficient. i can try and get more photos, but what could we assume him to be? He was sold as a medusa pleco, the ranunculus type. True? False? I didn't pay much for him, but would love to know. What kind of photos might help more? Top down? for ...

I've kept colomesus asellus with Microglanis iherengi, Psuedomystus siamensis and BN's before now. I kept Tatia perugae with carinotetraodon puffers, and they pestered them. Colomesus asellus is the most placid of the puffers available, but still shouldn't be cobined with fish that can't stand up ...

Congrats Siluris, I always suspected that it's "more than just a hobby" with your skill for ID'ing cats.

Well done.

That's close to Oxford Circus tube station.

The first time i went there I got off at Oxford Circus, second tiem i tried off great portland street. Neither way took very long to get there.

You're in luck, i did a london fish shop tour only this week. Crews hill just outside london is well worth a visit, as it has "wildwoods" there, rated as the best fish store in the country. To see its current plec list click here - here . ADC aquatics off great portland street is great too ...

Excuse my naivety, I can't even vaguely to pretent to know a lot about catfish husbandry or medical procedures, but would the possiblity of anaesthetising the fish, clipping the arm off, and then feeding the fish animal fats (in order for it to vomit) be a viable option? It's terrible to see a fish ...

Can't find much about this online, but has anyone here kept this fantastic looking fish? Any knowledge imparted will be gratefully received!

1. Water parameters a) 80 b) 7.5. c) Unknown d) Unknown e)Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite, levels - 0,0,20 f) 25% once a week (Most LFS's will check your water and give a list of readings). 2. Tank set up a) 25g b) Sand c) Fluval 3+ d) Bogwood, "tufa" rocks, plants e) Irrubesco puffers, pair of young ...

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b382/fellasfish/DSCN1493.jpg I've recently been sold this fish, and upon getting him home have noticed that he is quite skinny, and is very "inactive", to the point where I have to check for signs of respiration. I'm assuming that he might be too far gone, but what ...

Sold as Butterfly pleco, he's in quite rough shape (didn't check the fish before I took it home, schoolboy error).

I was under the impression most piranha species, including Pacu, ate seeds and fruit.


I see no advantage in feeding live fish to another fish.

Nottingham England. Home to robin hood (once upon a time).

I've just got into mastacembelids, and have got a peacock spiny eel. They're lovely fish, and I'm considering getting a few more. Mine isn't in my c*****d tank, but could be in the future. I keep a tang tank (multis and paracyprichromis) so it's something I might keep an eye out for. Many thanks ...

That Eel looks quite special, does it have a common name? Get on with it's tankmates etc?

My LFS is selling these fish. They claim that they are a new synodontis, first described in 2001, and furthermore they are the first store in the UK to be selling them (!!!). Which store? I am travelling around this week and may be able to drop in and take some pictures. Also, who was the importer ...

Does this fish even exist? A quick search on here turns no results.

so 5-7 cm? they might change a lot if they double their size or grow even bigger. Id be really curious for follow up pics as they develop. No problem. When I originally had 1, I never saw him. In the time I had him I literally saw him once when he was put into the tank, and once when I took all the ...

Not very big. I bought one a few weeks ago and never saw it, and he's grown to maybe 3 or 4 inches? He's among the biggest of the bunch. The others I bought today, and are a little smaller.

I'm quite fond of this fish so bought a few more today, I don't know if it'll help at all. http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b382/fellasfish/DSCN1131.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b382/fellasfish/DSCN1130.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b382/fellasfish/DSCN1129.jpg http://i23 ...

Well, the basis of this post is what care should I give it, regardless of what it is, as I'm struggling to find information on the net. My apologies if you consider it a waste. I won't be offended if it's locked or deleted. As someone who runs a couple of forums I can assure you I didn't ...

Seriously?!

Except for the very fine pattern of dots on the head, it actually doesn't look too far off a schoutedeni. Really? It's the dots that put me off, and the fact that the lines on his body are so thick. All research I did showed them as having much finer lines. I was praying for Ornatipinnis but I'm ...

I'm guessing this fella is a Czech made hybrid. Any ideas what the ingredients are? Synodontis + Cow perhaps? :lol: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b382/fellasfish/DSCN1136.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b382/fellasfish/DSCN1131.jpg http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b382/fellasfish/DSCN1130 ...

Yeah, that looks more like it. Many thanks. Out of curiosity, will he bicker with a pair of bristlenoses?

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b382/fellasfish/20%20Gallon%20Irrubesco/CIMG1724.jpg Got this guy today. Not finding much in the Cat-E-log about him, 4" maximum size, what sort of food is he going to be after? I'm assuming he'll need wood and meaty food? Will he be territorial against other plecs ...

Hi there I was wondering the minimum tank size for a group of these african glass catfish http://www27.brinkster.com/janbuk/Eutropiellus_buffei.jpg I have a 30 long 40x18x12 tank, and was wondering if 6 specimens would find good home in it. Other occupants are - Neolamprologus multifasciatus x 3 ...

That's great news, he's the one I'm after! Many thanks on the ID. Are these guys easy to look after? Do they create much waste? I've just had a filter crash and was wondering if he and the siamensis collectively could have destroyed the filter to the point of my ammonia reading 4.0 within 24 hours ...
