Re: Combining Syno species

I would imagine the pH requirements would be different, as petricola are from Lake Tanganyika and nigriventris are from West Africa

Re: Disappearing Microsynodontis

In my experience with my microsynodontis they do hide a lot. I did see them more often when I put a lot of leaves in the tank. It might be that they feel more comfortable venturing out with more hiding spots, although it sounds like you provide them with a lot of cover.

Re: rain water

I live in the suburbs and use rainwater in my tanks. I don't treat it, and haven't noticed any negative effects from that. I don't use only rainwater in any tanks, though.

chiloglanis with ich

I got five chiloglanis last weekend (not sure what species). Dosed some prazi pro three days ago, they were looking great, but now they've got ich. It's not a very severe case (yet), I just woke up and they seemingly got it overnight, because I didn't see it last night. Any ideas on how to treat? I ...

Rio Tocantins biotope

I'm looking to move my Panaqolus L002 into a 40 breeder and want to make it a Rio Tocantins biotope. I plan to also have a pair or small group of Biotodoma cupido. I was just wondering if anyone has any pictures or videos of the Rio Tocantins so I can be as true to the biotope as possible. Thanks!

Re: South American Catfishes for a 20 long.

The perugiae are really adorable fish! Like most woodcats, they're nocturnal and tend to hide a lot. I don't think they're very picky, people usually feed them frozen food like bloodworms. There's a good article on shane's world about them

I have a reverse trio of L002 plecos in a 29G. The only problem is I can't get them to eat anything besides wood and algae pellets. I've tried blanched cucumbers and zucchini, but they haven't eaten it. I would really like them to eat some fresh veggies so they can be more healthy, and hopefully hel...

Where did you guys find microsynodontis sp. 1? I really want to get some for my W African tank, but I haven't been able to find any. The only microsynodontis I've seen available was the batesii, which isn't really my favorite

Re: Feeding shrimp to L014 & L253

cooking takes a lot of the nutrients out of the shrimp, so I would do raw. Idk if you need to peel or not

Any ideas for a smaller species of madtom to go in a 20 long with my four black banded sunfish and possibly some mountain redbelly dace? In the summer, the dace and sunfish would go in my dad's pond and I would like to try to breed the madtoms, if that's possible. It's a black water tank with pretty...
