Re: Tatia gyrina, T. simplex, T. musaica

I have to agree that woodcats are difficult to come by here in the U.S. I am keeping what would seem to be the most common species: milky way cats, honeycomb cats and jaguar cats. Did you get the reticulatus from Oliver Lucanus?

Looks like an interesting species whatever it is. It does not look like L-202 at all. Thoughts?

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?

That video just shows why other catfish species should be more common when compared to say iridescent sharks, Pangasius hypophthalmus.

Re: My little zebra group

You probably do not have to do anything to encourage them to spawn. If they are young, give them more time. They will figure it out. Zebras reach maturity around year two. As long as extremes are avoided in water values, you keep them at 82 F, provide pellet and frozen foods and make regular water c...

Re: Gauging interest for my TR L183's

It is a little low to only have two fish per box. I'd think with express you should be able to fit a half dozen or maybe even more. Certainly the cost of shipping is going up but you may not get many wanting the fish if the cost of shipping costs that much. I used to ship a dozen or so royal farlowe...

I'd recommend keeping L. desmotes. I have found these always with shipments of L. fasciatus. They get half the length and have none of the aggression L. fasciatus has.
