Cool, thanks for all the info. I am adding a couple of power heads soon, should be suitable for the chaetostoma!

Thanks
David

I like the look of several of them, especially chaetostoma milesi, L276 and chaetostoma sp. aff. milesi. Are any of them particually rare?

Cheers
David

Hi,

I have a 400 litre, 5ft tank with is around 22*C holding some danios rainbowfish weather loach and temporarily and geophagus.
Once the geo moves i hope to add a number of loaches and danios. But i also want a small plec (Around 6") to add. Is there a plec that is suitable for this set up?

The ...

Thanks for that. I could set my old 30" tank back up for some of these and some microrasbora erythromicron?

The weather loach i have now is very laid back and have kept erethistes pusillus successfully with them before. But some of the other loaches i am getting probably wouldn't be as laid back ...

Hi all,

I first posted this in another forum and was answered kindly by a few members. But it looks like there is a an argument and i feel i can't contribute to the thread. First i want to say thanks to coryman for helping me in that thread with his top info, and i'm sorry if i triggered anything ...

???

david

after much though im going to get 6 C aenus.
and im getting a 10g in A FEW WEEKS. this was origianaly for a trio of dwarf puffers but i think i'm taking to much in my stride so this will become a S. ameican theme tank.
with a trio of pencil fish, 5 cardinals and the rest corys, hopefullly 5 pandas ...

im in the middle of changing my gravel to sand!

just take out a 1/4 of the gravel and put sand in a 2 litre bottle and open the top just above the bottom of the glass and let the sand go.
do this every month to let the bacteria spread and wha la.

As I understood it, you didn't have the pandas yet.

Still, I think a "single species" shoal is to be preferred.

C. melanotaenia have yellowish-greenish fins and are more elongate than C. aeneus.

I've never seen an albino C. malanotaenia.

no i havn't
the tank atm staqnds with a weather loach ...

Yes, they will probably shoal, but personally, I think 3 Corydoras is on the low side. You should go for a group of at least 6 specimens.


there are the pandas?
i doughbt they will shoal though?
and around next year they will be moved to a 3ft tank when i will up the shoals.
my sub trops will be ...

hi (again :razz: )

2 german blue rams
5 khuli loaches
3 panda corys(or 4 pygmy)

again, thanks very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

david

I can't identify it properly. It would be nice if you could catch the fish and put it in "photo tank", and get good shots of it.

Unless of course Silurus turns up and says what it is in the next hour or so - he's an expert on these fishes (along with many others - but he wrote an article revising ...
