I'm not sure if the red is stress or just normal coloring as this one came in this way.

I moved the three Akysis prashadi to the pea puffer 29g so that the c. eques tank will be S. American.The 2 parrot doradids are in with the eques. I still need to catch the kooli loach.

Careful hand catching catfish. One of the a. Prashadi stung me and my finger throbbed for a bit.

I think I am finally seeing some improvement. I have been dabbing meth blue directly onto the fuzz. I think it's getting smaller.

Following bekateen's recommendation that I try dabbing meth blue directly on the fungus so for now I have a blue pom pom cat.

The second Hoplo to enter the view is malformed. The head is more arrow shaped and sunken across the top.

Good luck,
Eric

I will give that a try. Thank you

Treatment is now 6tbsp kosher salt, API E. M. Erythromycin and Fin and Body Cure.
Temp is 75

Very nice. How did you match the curve of the bowfront with your glass brace?

During feeding I noticed one of the male T. Intermedia had tuned solid brown hiding the patterning on his sides. I caught all 3 to see if he would stay solid or revert. Also gave me a chance to sex them, 2m/1f.

Try reposting your pictures. I'm not able to see them.

I have a Hoplosternum littorale that I began treating for white fuzz fungus 10APR22. Rescued from an overstocked tank. I have used meth blue at full strength dose and as a dip. I have used Seachem paraguard(5 day course), polyguard and kanaplex and Fritz Maracyn Oxy (Two 5 day courses). Current cour...

How they were when I bought them: Now, 9 days later:

Confirmed I have 3 males and a female. I caught all four and by comparing the known male to the other 3 males that sexed. Wouldn't cooperate with the camera guy though.

And now there are 2 more healing up while I decide which tank to move all 5 into.

PVC pipe can be used too.

Picked up the new air supply, JEHMCO diaphragm pump DAPMH30, for the fish room and it is sooooo cool. Way more air than I need.

Hey, The first photo looks like a male to me, the second is in the wrong position to sex, but, the rest all a bit harder, they appear to just be old enough the rest in the photos look male but this is not for sure. Personally I have 4 females and 2 male gyrina. These are fun, they don't know when t...

Largest of the 4

Picked these 4 that have been sitting at the lfs for a while.
Back right is a male?

Prepping for the addition of a linear air pump. Loops around the perimeter of the room. I just need to drill and add valves and an air pump. Just finished as the lights started turning off.

You might try hoplo or porthole cats, I have both. I also have Cory similis, aeneus, and F1 eques from a local breeder. Our tap pH is around 8. The fellow I got my eques from doesn't use RO/DI either. Tatia sp, banjo cats, bumblebee, Akysis sp. are in my collection too.

The "oh, so cute" and the "oh, so funny looking"

Some of @coryclown's F1 Cory eques in my fish room.

I have seen his fish room. Amazing work in a small space. Huge thank you too for setting me up a school of eques.

Honestly that is quite surprising, all of the woodcats that I have kept, T. strigata, T. reticulata, D. perugie, D. altae T. gyrina T. simplex A. batrachus and even T. intermedia etc. have all been female heavy. Especially intermedia which out of all six of mine there is only 1 male which was very ...

None available either

Determined that all 3 of my Tatia intermedia are males

Nice! Are they seeming to prefer any sort of hides more than others? I see in the pictures it looks like a few might prefer to hide under the bamboo tubes, or maybe they were just the last to the party and so don't have a tube to claim? I have bamboo and diy fired clay pleco caves and they use both...
