Re: Where might I find a list of fish that occur naturally w
Fishbase is really useful. Scroll down to "Information by ecosystem". For instance, here's a list of species in Rio Negro: http://fishbase.org/trophiceco/FishEcoL ... ve_code=63

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
Tonight I saw two mating. Does anyone know for how long the female keeps the fertilized eggs?

Re: Cetopsis coecutiens
I've had Cetopsis coecutiens with banjo cats, but most fishes will be eaten. When one of my whale cats got a bacterial infection it was eaten as well. But they're fun to watch at feeding time. Here's an old video (they got even crazier as adults): http://www.zoopet.com/video/showphoto.php?photo=35&a...

Re: Have you named any of your fish?
I named my Acanthicus hystrix Blackie (after Lawless).
Didn't help much, though - it was killed by a bunch of wasp-like Leporinus tetras...

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
My Liosomadoras morrowi left the hideout this morning and I was able to take some pics.
She(?) is 6" SL and becoming quite impressive. Wish I could find her a partner!

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
I've had some difficulties with the gulpers, but this one seems ok.
It was really happy to get a couple of malawi cichlids as tankmates.

Re: need help with my gulper catfish
Look out for parasites. My three small gulpers stopped eating after a few weeks, and then I discovered lice on them. I removed the lice, but the gulpers didn't start eating. It took three months for them to get better. I guess they had some nasty gill parasite - the medicin that eventually worked wa...

Re: Pseudostegophilus nemurus ?
Brooklamprey's comment in Cat-eLog might be comforting:
P. nemurus is also the topic of this thread at MFK.
But I guess they won't be a great choice for the community tank.These fish have been observed feeding on dead fish and fillet as well as frozen thawed fish.

Re:
I still haven't seen it eat, but my L. morrowi is by far the fattest cat in the tank - it's HUGE. I think it preys on juvenile T. intermedia (I don't mind).Marc van Arc wrote:Could any of the morrowi keepers inform me how they behave with smaller (cat-)fishes? Perhaps one of the smaller tanks may be an option.

Thanks for this observation Daniel. I'm really pleased that you've taken the time to witness this and share it. The actual question is that scientists believe that the genital papilla of male Centromochlins is unfit to enter the female's body - unlike that of other Auchenipterids. Starting today, t...

The scientific belief still is that Centromochlins (Centromochlus, Tatia and Glanidium) don't have internal fertilization. Several of us amateurs think they do. What we need is some good proof. The question is as follows: - Who has observed a mating, - separated the female immediately afterwards in...
