I have several tanks, 3.00 x 70 x 70, 2.50 x 65 x 65, 2.00 x 60 x60. Two tanks 1.60 x 60 x 50 and several smaller ones

Later this I become another two tanks 1.80 x 80 x 60

Great fish! Wish I had the space.

Absolutely stunning fish. Very nice indeed. thanks for sharing cheers jk

Oh how I wish I had tanks like yours! How are the fish spread out amongst them?

nice collection of panaques...my favs....beautiful

I have 6 Panaque Nigrolineatus L190 in a 2.50 tank togehther with cichlids and one L27 Rio Araguia, I have 10 L169 in a separate tank, L397 also in a separate tank, 2 L330 Spotted in a separate tank, 3 L330 Half spotted combined with L204, L090 in a separate tank, L351 combined with Guianacara and two L191
At the moment I have about 80 panaque's.

Later this year the two Panaque Cf Armbrusteri L27 Rio Xingu move to a 1.80 x 80 x 60 tank combined with L14 and a group of Scalares Rio Xingu

Next year I want to place another 1.80 tank and also three 1.25 tanks for the smaller panaque's

Rob, nice collection you've got there. Some of those pics bring back memories of various royal panaque I've kept over the years--the variations in color and pattern always impresses me with those species (or set of subspecies). Now I know why the water wasn't exactly crystal clear in your "panaque nigro spawning ??" video--there is a lot of pooped out saw dust in there. Heheh! You must have to do a lot of vacuuming. I know. Been there, done that. And, still doing it to a lesser degree--I've got 4 royal panaque (one dull eyed L191 and three L190's) in a 125gal (6' long) tank with a bunch of other fish.

To be fair, the 3rd pic doesn't look like a Panaque sp. But, I could be wrong--it's not the best angle for ID--and I'm sure I'm not up to date on all the Panaque sp. L numbers. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Thx scleropages

On the 3rd picture is a Panaqolus Sp L351, I have 7 of them. In total I have about 75 panaque's.

And indeed, the big ones make quite some rubbish.....in nature the water isn't also very clear

Someone sold his panaque's...one was sold as a L190 but I'm very happy that it's a L27 Rio Xingu

Très belle!

Merci beaucoup !!


This is my third L27 Xingu.....al three of them were lucky shots....misidentified species

Today I got two great looking L418's

the small one



the bigger one

Nice collection!!!

The picture of your l-90 looks more like l-203 but it could just be the picture.

Those are nice royals! Looking at your huge L418, i should have ordered one when i had the chance, i didn't realize they look awesome when they are that big!

stunning panaques

I believe you are referring to his . Keep in mind that Panaque maccus to vary a TON in coloring and some are/can be very orange in coloration.

Would LOVE to see pics of this tank, sounds awesome!!!

What sort of filtration do you use to deal with all the sawdust? Or just bare bottom and lots of siphoning?

thanx for posting the l number i looked at all the pics an am almost sure that is what they are now i will try to post some pics of them if i can get any good ones it may also b wishful thinking but the lines scribbles on the face an the orange color are different from the other 10 maccus i have in there wich is y i even noticed cool if they are

Nice collection!

Thx all !!

Iám gonna use a system of Hamburger filter with a Eheim 2400 ltr pump combined with a Hydor koralia (5000ltr)

I don't mind the sawdust

On this frame I'am gonna place two tanks (1.80 x 80 x 60).....in one of the tanks I 'am placing the panaque 418's

Hi Rob

Absolutely amazing Panaques!!!!!

What do you feed them? Do they get any animal protein or strictly vege?

Thanks
James
