Great video of a stunning sp, you must be very proud.

Thanks for the reply, Urmston is probably my nearest shop now to be honest, i may give them a try. Anyone know if Gaylife still make tanks? They used to but that was a long time ago.

Anyone know of any tank makers in the Manchester area? Or know of anywhere i could find out the recommended glass thickness for tanks, as i may make my own yet if I cant find a reasonable priced one.

Stunning fish!

Stunning Syno

Jelly cat - Cephalosilurus apurensis

Asterophysus batrachus

They could well be Jools, i always thought they was black sharks, over 15 years ago when i went and i seem to remember them being that sp. Here's a vid of same tank and one of the large Labeos at 1.55

There was some huge Black sharks not too far from you Victor if i remember rightly at Busch Gardens, Tampa, in the Hippo/Malawi exibit, here is a pic i just found of a big Labeo and a big Giraffe for good measure

From what i can see and from what i remember of a fish i owned years ago it looks like it could be C brachynema, or it certainly looks closest to it.

Hope you get to the bottom of what this fish is?

Hi all, thought i'd come over and see the thoughts of all the catfish addicts on here

Funny thing about the link is that the middle pic is actually a Mystus sp

How about Pimelodus tetramerus

I'll go with a Brachyplatystoma vaillantii

Looks like Red Birch to me

Four days on and off to get through this thread, great work to all who contributed to it.

May be adding to the list very soon myself

Thanks for the reply

Yes i know, that was what i was hoping for

According to Sp guide on here, the easiest way to tell the difference in Bagarius Yarelli and B rutilus is the adipose fin in B rutilus starts before the start of the anal fin, is this correct? Fishbase say this is the same as B yarelli but they are quoting T.R. Roberts 1983 description, cant seem ...

Hi Cliff, i will sit on fence and say nothing, other than nothing would amaze me what exporters of fish will do to sell fish, ie tattooing, dying, mutations etc,so separating them "sexually", and selling as different sp wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

Anyone know where i could find a original line drawing of this fish?

Noticed on fishbase that Parauchenipterus is now Trachyelyopterus, is this correct?

Recently read that Goslinia and Merodontotus have been moved to Brachyplatystoma is this true?

just to ask if anyone knows or can recommend any dutch retail or wholesalers, as i am thinking of going for a weekend, and maybe bringing some fish back with me.

ok big thanks for that,your a star

is there anyway or could you do this so if you subscribe to certain forums ie asian cats,you would get a e-mail to say there is a new post on this forum. think this would be better and improve post's on each forum you prefer.

looking for any information or links to original drawings of Cephalosilurus fowleri,C nigricauda,C apurensis, so i could compare the three. any help appreciated.

by the look of those marks id say heater burns
