Ok. So what is she? S. velifer, njassae

Thanks

This is the first I've heard of dither fish and I'm pretty interested. So basically they are very active mid-water to surface dwellers, which kinda give the cats confidence that there are no predators and stuff around and therefore encourage them to come out into the open?

That's really kewl. I am ...

Hey everyone,

I have been trying to breed some catfish and have been able to get eggs a few times but they always seem to be taken over by spawn fungus before they can hatch. At first i tried keeping them in a floating mesh basket spread in a single layer but the fungus got them. Tried a few ways ...

Hey there people,

I just got a digi pic and managed to snap some nice pics of 2 of my cats and was wondering whether they could be ID'd to species. I just know them as Oto and Haplo ;)

I was thinkin that if they could be ID'd to species I could submit the pics to the Cat-E-Log if they are needed ...

Wow, congrats. I should be getting some multi's soon ans hope I can breed them. Are your mbuna's spawning? Also, what you feeding your multi's on?

Eggs probably do pretty well in there. Has good water flow so they don't get fungus i gues ;) hehe. And once the egg is in it probably gets lodged so ...

Thanks so much for the info. There is no e-mail link under your post so I just pm'd you.

Thanks again

Aquaholic: Thanks for the kind words and info :wink:

You used that product on catfish eggs? cause i've heard that meth blue etc kills syno eggs, which is why I haven't been using it. I'd be keen to try :)

I personally also think hormone injecting fish to breed them is way better than catching ...

Damn, i think i get it. Hehe.

Sounds pretty ingenious to me. Could you describe those snails to me? They sound like they are a winner in the system. Hehe. I got those little cone shaped snails. Those the right ones?

I'll keep this in mind. Good description :) If i get bored i can try draw somethin ...

Sorry to dissapoint you

I know it's not so good but I'm working on doing it naturally soon. I'm getting them to condition nicely and regularily already. Half the battle.

What you think of my tumbling speed? Too vigorous

Hi everyone,

I jus managed to spawn my nigriventris again. I often have a problem with fungus on the egss so i thought i'd try make a DIY egg tumbler using an UGF tube. I am just not sure how much the eggs should be churning. I have given a link to a short movie clip I made showing the churning. It ...

Can you explain your mesh contraption cause mine dont work so well at keepin fungus away. Just made a DIY egg tumbler and trying it for the first time today with my nigriventris eggs. At least they not sticky

Hi there,

I dont have any info that you need but I am interested in you project. I have just graduated from UCT in Zoology and Botany and I am currently breeding Synodontis catfish. Could you please send me more info on what you guys are doing? I am using hormone injection and was wondering ...

I think that tray you are seeing under the pot is just a bit of an optical illusion from the glass 8)

When trying to make rough entrance and holes in my terracota pots i usually fill them up with sand and bury them in sand with only the bit i want to break exposed. I then use a hammer to break the ...

I sent the pic to the original wholesaler and asked them to ID it. Didn't say where I got it or what I thought it was.

They said 'thanks for your mail. i guess this is a crossbreed of synodontis mutlipunctatus and synodontis velifer (eupterus)'

I guess that verifies that :(

what a bummer

Thanks ...

dang.. I just dug up my invoice and it says

mulipunctatus.eu.br

which i guess means its a hybrid with eupterus. And brichardi? or what is the br for?

This is terrible. I wanted multi's. Who the hell wants to buy hybrid catfish. I'm going to have to try sell the babies from these guys :(

Hate ...

that's horrible.

What do you suggest I do? They were sold to me from a wholesaler as multipunctatus a few months ago. I payed for multi's and got some funky hybrid?

Hi there. Can some1 please help me ID this synodontis.

It was sold to me as S. multipunctatus but I am almost certain it isn't :(

if you have any ideas or questions please post :)

Thanks
