Well, I´m not 100% positively, absolutely sure it´s a true Schall. It´s quite difficult to find out what specie he is. . But I think he is.

However, I will try and get a picture of him (Only problem is that he mostly comes out at night. . )

But he is a kind of territorial fish. . He´s beaten ...

Hi all!

Well, a funny question perhaps, but. . I´ve noticed that a lot of fish in my LFS are sick when it´s winter. I also heard something about Ichtyophthirius multifilis (Fish Killer Disease) is at loose when the water´s cold.

Do you know something about that? I don´t want to buy sick fish ...

Yep, that´s what I meant. Okay, well. . I must have mis-read "Catfish of the Month". . I thought that it said that it was difficult to find the "real" glass fish. Well, it´s not always easy to be Danish. .

That sounds great! I must admit that I have sort of a soft spot for these beautiful fishes.

In my LFS the to species of Dianema are kept together, and they´re pretty much the same size, but perhaps it´s better taking the ones without stripes, if they don´t get so large.

Still, it´s odd that ...

My crayfish (well, it sounds far out, but. .) does the same motion as my corys do. he jerks his eyes in the same odd fashion and he always does it while he´s cleaning his body and eyes with its legs. Obviously that doesn´t mean that it´s excately what the corys do, but on the other hand that´s a ...

Hmm. . Why do you write "rubbish"? That´s your own opinion, isn´t it?

Anyway, perhaps you should add some more options. . as "Catfish books" e.i.

Hi all.

I´ve read about the Kryptopterus minor (glass catfish) in the "Catfish of the Month" from 1997, but I still have some questions.

Is it very rare, that the real glass catfish is seen in petstores? How can you tell the difference between that and it´s cousin, the false glass catfish?

Are ...

Hi all!

Well, I´ve thought about buying some Dianema urostriatum for my 180 liters aquarium. They´re so beautiful, but I´ve read different things about them in different books and on Planet Catfish, so I´m a little confused. Is it a fish you need to keep in groups? Are they hardy or do they ...

Well. . awfully difficult to say, isn´t it? I can´t decide ´cause I don´t know what other fishes youi have. .

Hmmm. . the freezer sounds good. However, it must depend on how much water you put in the bag, or. . ? I mean. . if the water freezes before the fish is hypernating, then. .

Ironic isn´t it, that it´s the same catfish as the little, cute 10 cm long redtails, which you can buy down in the local petstore. .

Oh. . wauv. I didn´t see that. Hmm. . wonder if you´re able to buy them in Denmark. Is it a common fish?

P. Ornatus does look very beautiful. :lol: But. . well, the Cate-log says almost excately the same about P. Ornatus as it says about P. Pictus. . What´s the difference? I mean, so that it would be a better tankmate for the crayfish? Is it more active?

Still, I won´t be buying new fish for the ...

Hi all!

I´m searching for a catfish to match my 180 liters aquarium in which there already lives a Cherax Destructor (crayfish), and an Oscar Cichlid. Then my thoughts wandered towards a Pimelodus Pictus. Fast, beautiful. . but still it´s hard to find out whether it´s suitable or not. . I´ve ...

I´m not sure, that you´re right. . SpeakEasy is usually the forum where you write about funny stuff and. . gas.

I don´t know about dogs. . but cats can die, if they drink alcohol. . I don´t know if fishes are able to digest alcohol. .

Hmmm... You´re probably right.

Still wondering about what a Noxius Pleco is. . Is it a Pleco or perhaps a "false" one like Panaque Nigro that is called "Royal Plec`? Hm, missing a suitable Emoticon for this. .

The only place to live: Helsingør, Helsingore. The shortest distance to Sweden in Denmark. .

Strange how many people seem to have left their brains at home. . It´s the same people who tries to feed cats with beer. .

Do any of you now, what a Noxius Pleco is?? I got the specie recommended for my tank with my crayfish. . but I can´t find out what the scientific name is. .

While we´re at it with my crayfish once again. . Do you think some Bagrid Pseudostomus are suitable? The tank is 180 liters. . the crayfish ...

Hi and welcome to the forum. I lived just on the other side of the water, Denmark

So does my crayfish. . Perhaps he thinks he´s an airstone Well, seriously; I think it´s like humans, mammals etc.. When air goes in - when breathing - air goes out. . simple.

Well. . it´s almost always from some sort of furniture. . But I´ve jumped from a car one year, when I wasen´t near a couch. The trick is to not jump from something too high. . You might fall, as Danes - just like Norwegians - drink a lot at New Years.
It´s never too late to jump into the new ...

Yep. . We jump. If you don´t jump into the new year, you´ll be stuck in the old. . that´s the Danes.

Well. . Don´t old people have a lot more gas, too? My grandpa says, he´s having more the older he gets.. Perhaps it´s the same with catfish. Something about the digestion, perhaps.

My little Panaque nigrolineatus. Love the colors, the shape and the eyes. He´s so cute, living in his own log, keeping it nice and clean.

Well. . mine´s gassing a lot, too. . no idea why.

You say 10 years old. . Do you know, how old they can get?

Well, I stayed up until 4 o´clock after watching a lot of fireworks (We´re quite fond of fireworks in Denmark - unfortunately three people got killed this year due to heavy fireworks), jumping into the new year from a couch, wearing my "beautiful" new year hat and throwing coins at each other ...

Well. . I´m from Denmark, Helsingore (where Hamlet lived, people say) . . and all though it´s not Sweden it sometimes feel that way. Beer´s a lot cheaper in Denmark, so there´s a LOT of Swedish people in Helsingore.

- And yep, the christmas in the North still reminds very much of the old "Jul", when the vikings celebrated the shortest day of the year (the 21th).

I love christmas!!! Peace on earth and all that.
