I am browsing with Internet Explorer 6,just as Martin...There was a time when i was seeing them correctly,with transparent backgrounds,when you had first putted them but some days latter they started showing that way without me changing any settings...

OK, well the simple answer is upgrade to MSIE7 (which is a lot better anyway) but I will look into it.

Jools

Remember when the forum trio of cats were not changing, well the reason I'd set them to be fixed was that using the dynamic set was actually quite hard to do IF you're using MSIE6 or lower AND the transparency is to work. Anyway, I've found a way around it and so it should now work in all browsers.

Looks like this maybe temporary, but if you're still getting this error, please post it in the bugs section. I've already done too much "off topic" stuff in here...

OK, to get back on topic, why did you choose those 14 catfish, and why "limit" it to 14?

They represented catfish that didn't commonly get featured, a few favourites and some enigmatic species. I also avoided species used by other organisations at the time that I knew of.

- I had to have a small, spotted pleco and seemed passe and is used by countless other organisations.

- Beat off competition from - too similar in pattern to the above, which is a personal favourite but not selected because of that reason - plenty other favs selected and not becuase long barbles didn't work well in the style. It's a pretty and striking fish but the artist captured it too well I think from the photo supplied and so it didn't look as good as I'd have liked.

- for me as amazing a fish as H. zebra and I wanted a larger pleco. I also thought about but it wouldn't look good in profile.

- had to have a and I've collected this species in the wild.

- a personal favourite.

- Madtoms are great, never kept 'em but had to represent the USA!

- Again it's a striking fish.

- A favourite and truly a magnificent catfish. Possibly the best graphic.

- Very popular Cory that I've always liked.

- One of the most commonly encountered catfishes in your LFS and an interesting subject for the artist. Helps get across the diversity of the catfishes.

- I've almost always kept these Corydoras and they are similar to many other species. Nice and colourful too.

- A personal favourite.

- My favourite catfish.

- I wanted a Silurid, perhaps I regret this choice of species, (I had discounted the Jaguar Catfish for this slot as wanted to ensure there weren't too many American cats).

The artist who created them isn't available to create more (and I would have to pay for them) so it's 14 until I redesign the site and possibly stop using them.

Jools -maybe there is someone who's a "regular" in the forums who could do a few more if you wanted? It might be worth asking???

Same style? Well, I'm open to any offers but I don't want to offend someone who's tried very hard but to my eyes the work isn't similar enough.

But if anyone wants to do it, given the above, go for it.

Hypancistrus contradens - I had to have a small, spotted pl*co and Hypancistrus zebra seemed passe and is used by countless other organisations.

It's fine, I only ever saw it once. I was just curious as to what it is.

The link to does not work. Does it still make a false link if it is spelt wrong?* Is it spelt wrong?Yes, it was wrong - . Everyone makes mistakes.

* Hehe!

Actually, it could be that too. I can't honestly remember!

Nice one Dave!

Right, OK, but it would be helpful if you could tell me what environment you're using? It's working fine on Firefox3, MSIE7, Opera & Safari.

Bagrichthys macracanthus

- My favourite catfish.

Can I ask why this is your favourite? I have been thinking of getting one, but I'd probably never see it, like nearly all my present cats (mainly Synos) cos my giraffe scares everything into hiding!

How about this? I suppose that three invisible fishes are the most valuable.

I guess it's just because of the fishes regal looks, good nature (at least with other species). It's all the things that make me like catfish in one fish.

Jools, I'm gonna pick you up on a point of logic here! You say on your 'My Catfish Top 10' list page:

4. Pyjama Catfish, Synodontis flavitaeniatus, Another Syno! It was a bit of a toss-up between this fellow and Synodontis angelicus for the 4th place spot but this one got it because of its more demure nature.

Why, then, isn't the Synodontis angelicus number 5 in your list? Wouldn't the choice would be between 4th and 5th places in the list, and not 4th and 11th, surely?

BINGO !!!

Got one at last.....

Nice one Racoll!

Good point, however there is some logic to it. In making the list I also wanted to select representatives from different catfish families, so what I am also saying here is I like the genus not just the species...

Maybe we could set up CCTV on the homescreen to catch every triple... or maybe we should be patient.

Patience, Grasshopper.

Only four left. Once we have the set do we carry on adding triples or just leave it there?

And right now we have the three granny's that were the instigation of this thread.
