What size is the fish? Could also be a young L66. Not sure.

Ian

I have the same problem. I bought what I thought was a Male and a female, and am now worried I have 2 males as my 'female' now has taken up residence in a cave and my male prefers to make caves under slate and bits of wood! Pictures of my 'pair' can be seen here http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum ...

I would also watch out for the L66 many may dissagree but I have observed my female eating plants, dispite being well fed on a meaty diet and also cucumber or other veg availible. I have an L200 in the same tank which i think my l66 may have learned the skill required for plant eating from!

My latest 2 additions to my group both fairly mature at 5 inches. Can I have your views on sex please Both http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=694 1 http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=693 2 http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=692 Thanks ...

Thanks for the info on Trimar. Not to keen on shipping them all the way to Scotland. Also work, so cant be in to have them delivered. Have however managed to source some in Scotland. Many thanks

Ian

Both look like L66 and both look like Males to me but im no expert, just keep a few of them trying to establish a breeding group. Do you mind me asking where you got them from? I am having difficulty getting some more at the moment. Im in Scotland.

Cheers Ian

Looks like a female to me. The underside is also not got any markings which some people suggest indicates a female. There is an artical that talks about this here http://www.planetcatfish.com/shanesworl ... icle_id=98

Mine eat anything including cucumber.

Thanks for the reply. Both fish appear to be well and are feeding well. I have noticed one has changed colour since introducing it. Both were identical when I introduced them however the larger of the 2 appears to be darkening in colour. I will keep you updated if this colour change continues! Ian

Hi I have just purchased 2 L200 both are between 12 and 15 cm. I hope I have picked a pair and have an interest in breeding them. I see from searching in the forums that they were successfully breeding in Berlin zoo. I wondered if any other forum members had experiences of breeding these lovely fish ...

I had problems getting mine to eat. I still have never seen one of them eat since I put it in, but since it's belly is full and it has been in the tank for 2 and a half months it must be eating something. Mine appear to like bloodworms and other meaty foods. I feed in the same are every night just ...

I am have problems with one of my L66 still. It has got very thin and weak, over the last 2 days. I have issolated him and tried hand feeding it but withought success. Does any one have any bright ideas, or even an artical they can direct me to? His belly is sunken but his eyes look ok. Many thanks ...

Thanks for all the replies. I bought a few muscles from the fishmonger then was not sure whether to cook them or not. Thanks for all the help.

Ian

Stupid question, but should the shellfish be cooked first?

Thanks Ian

I have a group of 4 L66(I think) and hope to establish a breeding group. They are currently small at 2 inches and are in a species tank with no one competing for food. Having recently aquired them they do not appear to be feeding well, although their belly looks full and round. I wondered if anyone ...

Well I am new around here. I have noticed that no one has asked the size of the fish. They look very like my small L66 which are 1.5 to 2 inch long. Just another thought.
