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 othe ...

Buying fish when it is winter. .

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, but ...

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 they ...

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.
