Yes definately. Lets hope this is the start of more of this exclusive variety becoming available.

Angel. Are you able to get a pic of fish or contact for this branch? At this price it is too good to be true, or a hybrid.

It amazes me that they should decide to scrap after being together for so long. Have they fought in the past?

Hi I always try to keep nuggets at high temps when I first receive them. For some reason they are among the worst plecs for catching whitespot. They usually survive if treated promptly with a suitable medication. Bear in mind they are starved before shipping and this unfortunately does stress them o...

Raise the Ph slowly. To quickly and you will kill the fish.

I believe they are now obsolete. The pro 2 models have replaced them. If you can get a second hand 1 check it has been looked after as servicing is expensive and heating elements don't like hard water.

Hi .Ii have not thought about this before but yes plecs could over time damage the surface of the acrylic, thus causing misting. Although this would not cause failure of the tank , I do beleive more frequent mop polishing on the inside of the tank would be required. On a more important note. The lge...

The waterlife treatment is sterazin. This treatment is dosed for 10 days so it may not be suitable. Try something stronger from the vets, Levanisol works well.

I have one of these which is around 17cm. I will try and email a picture for the cat e log so more sizes of the fish are shown.

Have you considered a cooler fitted to your tank? If you have had a lot of probs with warm water this may help . The only down side is cost.

Hi there . I have owned a S Granulosus now for over a year, he was in a very bad state when received and had to be nursed back to full health. I would not part with him for less than £400 either has they are very expensive to buy in the UK and he is a pet fish (one of the problems when you own a sh...

Check out LDA33 this cat has white spots like you describe. We have had these cats several times at this size and they look identical to yours.

Hi keep a look out for white spot. It may trigger now the fish have been stressed. Good look hope your tank is safer now.

Hi Oxytetracycline works very well on this condition in liquid form sprayed directly onto food. It does have its problems though so keep doing frequent water changes as your filter bac will be nuked and dont overdose. Bigger fish can be given smashed tablets with there food. Unfortunately catfish ar...

Smaller specimens of this family usually feed frequently, hence the growth rate. But as they mature they usually slow down a bit with there requirements. One thing we do notice sometimes is they stop feeding altogether. So a bit of incouragement is often required in the form of a live meal usually s...

Can you set up a seperate tank. L128 cats are rarely available it would be a shame to miss them. Darren

Glad to see things have improved for the better. Can you get antibiotics in your country of origin as it may be wise to get some in the future, just in case. I can recall buying some Dianemia some years ago which suffered a similar fate, unfortunately not much was known about Flexibacter at the time...

Not sure what to suggest now on this one. Melafix works well double dosed on sick cats, with the help of oxytetracyclin it recovered a very sick Syno Granulous. Cory cats are usually ok in most water parameters but most of these probs seem stress related . They may have had a poor time in shipping a...

Stu how big are the Multis you have? They grow unusually lge for a cory style fish.

No I wouldnt recconmend it, you will only make them worse. We usually only use metrodozinale on Discus, were yes the temps are higher so cant say how it works at lower temps. Do the corys seem any better today. Try and ask your lfs if they can keep fish back for you in future, it will prevent this p...

We have kept ottos in tanks with discus and they age very rapidly resulting in untimely deaths. Although the Sturisoma are nice and will be fine in these temps they tend to attack the discus and cause there deaths instead. Slowly acclimatize some clown pleco and try them instead or some Royal Pleco's.

Hi . You do seem to be having problems. I own a fish shop and would never allow customers to purchase fish before they have been rested properly let alone what you are describing. The poor fish already stressed from transit have been put in an extreme environment for 30 minutes as you say, then caug...

Hi there. I have kept Barbatus corys for many years and unfortunately have never succesfully kept them alive with any other fish in there tank. I do not think aggression will be a problem, I must admit I have never seen an aggressive cory, but there liking of cooler water. I would keep them at no mo...

Is it the camera angle or has that fish got a short nose? Nice all the same.

It always amazes me how some people that do no cleaning etc get away with not loosing there fish. They are in the minority I am sure. Fish have varying life expectancy I kept an Hoplo for 20yrs and know of people with koi pushing 40. If you look after your cats well, they will enjoy a happy long life.

Hi we have encountered this problem on l264 cats on several occasions. The fish do usually perish very quickly if action is not taken. It maybe an infection but I think the fish would have perished a long time ago. The fish may have a tumour, it could be a dropsy like fluid retention problem. Are th...

Such a shame so many people are loosing fish to this global heatwave. Lets hope it doesnt get any worse or we will all be buying chillers for our aquariums.

Do you use a water purifier?

Brochis cats seem to be a lot more vibrant when accustomed to softer acidic water conditions. What size is the fish you purchased?

Most of our tanks went up to 86+. We just increased the aeration and kept a close check of the water quality. If we get high temps again a frozen bottle of water, floating on the tank can help things keep cool. But be careful you dont want to chill them too much.
