I found a pdf with some info - http://www.sera.de/fileadmin/gbi/sera_oodinopur_29.01_int.pdf it mentions that some catfish wont like it. I'll need to try and source pure malachite green, I normally use salt too for velvet. The angels are newly imported and the plecs were in there to eat any leftover ...

Hi, does anyone know if this treatment has any ill-effects on plecs? I need to dose a tank for velvet which has some altum angels in it and there are some L106s and an L191 in there too

thanks

Hi,

sorry to dig up an old thread but is there an update on this tank?

cheers

Hi Jools,

sorry I took so long to get back to you...

Hi I'd avoid the frogs altogether, or give them a tank all of their own, they really cant compete with fish and tend to get pretty skinny pretty quick. They dont do all that well fed on fish food or the usual meaty alternative like bloodworms. They really need food like chopped small earthworms and ...

There are batches of sub-adult elegans in the trade just now so that is a good possibility - I got ten last week and they look very similar

Hi there, I just spotted this thread, so sorry for late reply. I did a lot of zoological work in Trinidad between 1996 and 2002 and still have some fish from those trips in my tanks today... see the Corydoras aeneus profile in the cat-e-log with some pics that Jools took when he came to visit last ...

thanks for the welcomes

A good way to get rid of many of their parasites is a bit of a hassle but can be done by aclimatising them first to sea water and then back again... takes time and as i said, hassle. Not sure how well it would work with internal parasites though???

Hi For a tank that size you could keep one male and up to 3 or 4 females. The males are very aggressive, especially at this time of year but very interesting to watch as the male build build a nest out of plants etc... what species is it? 3 or 9 spines? You wont need the heater and the filtration ...

Hi All As it says, just shedding my lurker status... I have been reading the forums and articles for quite some time, so thought I should say 'hi' since I registered :) I live in Larkhall, Scotland and have a heated shed with about 30 tanks in total. I keep quite a few different species of catfish ...
