Picked up an Auchenoglanis Occidentalis over the weekend. He's in a 125 gallon with 5 Frontosa ...

pix

we need more pix

I have one as well; he's the biggest fish by far and a lot of "fun"

a few examples;
-sand is not supposed to lay nice and flat; it looks much better arranged like the lap of motorcross 250cc World Championship, so let's make it happen.....

-the only true plants are floaters; easy to maintain. So I've discovered a whole array of new species: Floating Vallisneria, Floating Anubias, Floating Hydrilla, Floating Lotus.....

-chasing the other cats around is a 24/7 hobby, even if they're called granulosus! If my owner puts about 1200$ of fish in here, let's make them VISIBLE

Have fun with your Giraffenose, I sure enjoy mine

Unfortunately, I don't have a digital camera yet. As soon as I buy one you can rest assured I'll post picks of all my "cats" ... As for my Giraffe Nose ... He's quite content hanging out under the rock ledge I created for him .. He/She gets along well with its Frontosa "buddies"...
I see you have yours in with a Granulosus ... Any problems there? I would love to get one ... How compatable would one be in a 125 gallon tank with the Giraffe Nose and 5 Fronts?

that would be fine.

catfishes mix OK; and granny's get awfully tame too; I can and do handfeed and pet mine.....

any other Syno would be fine in there too; but most other Syno's from Tang are groupers.

is that a "wishlist" or do you have all these fish in with the Fronts?

I really hope it's the first!

Sounds like >1 tanks ;)

That would be one heck of a big tank ... Fortunately for them they all have comfortable homes of their own ...

A.occidentalis has been years on my favourite llist, but no one is wiling to import it to here.Monsters like Pangasius hypopthalamus,P sanitwongsei and Phractocephalus you can find and they sell them to unaware customers.IÂ´m willing to pay good money for Giraffe but...i have settle to pictures

Finland is a long way off, but I've seen Giraffenose dirtcheap in Germany.

you might try to get one there, once the winter's gone and travelling with a fish is less risky.

I TNT ship live stock next day delivery so it shouldn't be too tough to import a fish from Germany. Don't how much it costs though.
