I have one mirror carp and definately want at least one flash zebra (Brachyplatystoma juruense). This is going to be a very large tank and I would prefer to have just few very large specimins as oppossed to a large cummunity tank. A six inch fish is smaller than I was looking for but if the others ...

I have come accross a Banjo cat for sale at my LFS and am facinated with the prehistoric look of the critter. I am currently looking for a few speices that will mature to a very large size for use in my big aquarium that will be installed later this year. The guy at the LFS said that the Banjo would ...

Well I actually like the look of the website it's nice to see something other than the typical PN grey. The darker red font is a bit hard to read against the black though. I would sugest changing the small font to the brighter red. Looks like it might develop into a nice website when participation ...

Thanks for the Fishbase recomendation, I have found two types that really have my attention.

Pelteobagrus Fulvidraco

Brachyplatystoma Juruense

Does anyone have experiance with these ?

Sounds like a 36" wide tank would be better in the long run for the Carp, so I will plan on a 144" X 36" X ...

OK I am planning a 700 gal tank 144in long / 24in wide / 48in high. I currently have two Mirror Carp and a common Pleco. I am thinking of getting at least one (maybe two) more Carp to raise to full maturity. I would like to have some large catfish in the tank as well. My question is what types of ...

Yes, it's a common Pleco, and I ihave no intention of boiling him in acid

Yes Mats I'm awarwe that the carp will get much bigger, they have currently doubled in size every year so far. I know they can get to over 40 lbs and am planning a much larger tank. some people think I'm crazy for keeping them as they get pretty ugly when mature but they have imprinted on me and get ...

I have a small 20gal tank with a 4" pl*co and a couple of 5" mirror carp. I was told that aration was a good way to help reduce ammonia concentrations and installed a "bubble wand" about a month ago. All three fish love it, they are more active and look much happier. Even the pl*co likes to play in ...
