Otherwise, perhaps Scleromystax, Dianema or Haplosternum?

Hoplosternum is it....thanks!!!

My LFS had these catfish that looked like Cory's but longer, maybe around 2.5" long. I was going to research them when I got home but I forgot what they were called and was wondering if anyone knows what they are called?

Hi tanks to all of you for your help.

Yes i have to admit i don't have a QT tank. I just don't have the room for one.

I Will look through the list and see what i can find that won't eat my other fish. I will also take a long look at the C. sterbai as well.

But maybe we can help you select once you give us a "short-list", e.g. if you ask "which should I choose between these 2, 3 or 5". That 2, 3 or 5 is what i need help with. As i have no idea as where to start. Here are my problems- 1. What would be safe to keep with my other fish 2. How to even ...

Ok i am not really sure what catfish would make a nice addition to my tank. I don't have any luck with corys and i already have an albino bushy nose pleco in there. I also have otos in another tank. So i am looking for something different. Oh and this is a high light planted tank. Here is what is in ...

So people write them letters by them selves. So that when they get the letter it's just one or two that get dismissed by WALMART. SO WE ARE ...

Hi no i don't want them to cross breed if i buy one and stick him or her in the tank with my albino bristle nose pl*co's. I just wanted to know if it was OK for them to be in the same tank. so that they may breed with there own kind and would not mix. But I guess from what I am hearing is that it ...

Hi i have two questions.

1. Is it possible for L183 to breed with albino bristle nose pleco?

2. does L183 eat live plants?

Im uncertain whether they are just as hardy as the normal brown bristlenose

Yes they are just as hardy as the brown bristlenose. The only thing that has changed is there color or as in this case there lack of color.

Hi this is my first post. In the next couple of weeks i will be reciving 3 albino bristlenose pleco's (1 male , 2 females). They will go in my 29 gallon where the pH will be around 6.4. This tank will be an amazon bio-tope "ish" tank. With plants and everything. My question is would these guys breed ...
