Thanx. I love the Hara horai. Looks awesome. Never would have known this fish unless I would read all species in the database. Hope he is available in my LFS.

I would love a combo with White Cloud Minnows. They would love the current!

Hi, It's been a long time since I've been here. I took a little time-out on aquariumkeeping. But the itch came up again and I bought a 20G for a very suitable price. It's a Juwel Rekord 80. I always wanted to build a rivertank and I was wondering wich cats or loaches are best to keep in a mini wild ...

Thanks! It was ment to be a rocky background for Malawi or Tanganyika. I also made some hollow rocks. But after a while I came across clarias and I was really intriged by this fish. I've kept and bred S. petricola for many years. Former setup: http://home.wanadoo.nl/rhoevlaak/image/obj47geo47pg1p12 ...

My Clarias tank, it will never be finished. Next year I will get a 5 or 6 footer.

Definitely a batrachus

It was a she. She was around 5 inches. I just got my new juvenile clarias from the LFS, eight cats. They are around 2,5 inches... I will make some pics when they get more active...

I will post a pic, but this one died a week ago from columnaris... He already had this disease in the store... Today I will get 10 juveniles... So I will post more pics later!

My Clarias died today from Columnaris disease, I guess it was already infected when I bought him. The first fish that died of disease in my tank in many years. Does Columnaris survive in a tank with no fish and a dose of esha 2000 in it? I really hope so, I don't want to empty my tank and disinfect ...

Nice tank, maybe you can put osme bogwood in it that reaches the surface of the tank to break the light more.

Thanx.

Yesterday I bought two male Clarias batrachus, an albino and a marbled, size around 20cm. I already saw in the LFS that the albino had some burns (looks like burns)on the sides of his body. He has is own tank now because the other male was chasing him, so I decided to separate them... Does anybody ...

Thanks very much for the tip! heteropneustes species is a bit tacky with it's poison glands. I saw a clarias at marktplaats but it was already big, I would like to start with a juvenile.

Ghehehe, well I hope I can find them in holland. It will be a species only tank.

I already have a topic about my 65 gallon tank. Just want to know if somebody with experience can tell me if I can keep one in my tank.

I also have seen Ictalurus nebulosus as a possible candidate, could I house it in a 65G?

I like the shape of Clarias, but I think it gets to big for a 65G. Maybe there are smaller clarias type catfish?
I also like synodontis species.

Well any idea is welcome, I'm just stuck on what new species I should get, there a too much choices...

Hi there, I've got a 65 gallon tank wich is sitting empty in my storageroom. I already have a Synodontis petricola 65 gallon special tank and a Corydoras 40 gallon showtank. Maybe it sounds a little bit lazy, but can somebody give me a good idea about a nice catfishspecies that could swim within ...

I agree, but what about the tiny bubbles that stick to the surface of the gills...

I also have an vey old 15+ Eheim-filter and it also works great, but I only use it when I need to adjust waterparameters.

I have these filters, they are cheap, but the capacity goes down very quickly, 1200L an hour will be 800L an hour in a couple of weeks...

This is just one link in the many links I found on google:

Some say it harms fish, some say it doesn't hurt them...

I've been reading some info on the internet (learned a great deal) and there was one site with some good arguments, arguments from some professors. A short story on this subject: "It said that pumping pressurized gasses into the water can oversaturate the water. But air that is mixed with water in a ...

I heard something about over-aeration. Is it true that fish get sick if you use alot of air in combination with powerheads? I use a pipe with holes in it to spray into the water. This generates lots of bubbles that don't flow up to the surface but they stay in the water, gliding along on the stream ...

Thank you for the info. I use a 4 Watt fluorescent ligthbulb in the morning and evening to simulate dusk and dawn. Maybe I can use that red light...

No replies?

This is my tanksetup. I only plan to get some more plants next week.

why not just get a shoal of Glass catfish or if i were you, i wouldnt head in the direction of Catfish at all!! i would do An Angelfish tank, with a shoal of Neons and obviously 2-4 angels/Discus maybee, just maybee a BN, but thats a myabe, not a definate No I just want some small catfish, my tank ...

Hi I'm new here, I'm Frankie, I live in The Netherlands and I just love catfish, I always had a big school of Synodontis petricola, but now I want to keep other catfish as well. My tank is 100cmx40cmx40cm. 160L or 35 gallon volume. I have an mechanical filter with a capacity of 800L an hour, it's ...
