Re: New uses of black worms

Also Walstad tanks required sunlight so real algae fanatics would have plenty to sustain them as long as the plants didn't rob all the nutrients from the algae Since when do they? None of mine do. One of mine is a 25L has a 11W bulb overhead and it has Riccia amongst other growing well in it! The 4...

Re: New uses of black worms

Interesting use of black worms. I use Walstad tanks (layer of soil) and whilst the 40,000+ species of bacteria and fungi in the soil breaks down food, etc., I think some of these worms would help aerate the upper level better and provide some extra food for my fish. But being in the UK, I can not fi...

Re: Creating a offline Planetcatfish

But only for the purpose of viewing in a web-site - not distributing it in any other form - see below. But surely that is 100% what an offline web site is doing? From my point of view there is no difference from having a text or image file in a temp or cache folder of a web browser or in a folder o...

Re: Creating a offline Planetcatfish

But when you view an image off the Internet, you are in fact distributing it aren't you? In any case it's easy for a web admin to do a mass email to all its members and for it to be known there is going to be a condition change and people have to opt-out if they object. I tried to find a 'terms and ...

Creating a offline Planetcatfish

Hi Julian, Ever thought about creating a offline version of your site? There is now free packages that run Apache, mysql, php, etc. all from a USB stick or your local drive. These allow you to view the site via a web browser as if you're getting it off the Internet. I've managed to get the site - ht...

Wow. That was quick! Many thanks Dave!

I did look through the Corydorus thumbnail page but I guess I got overloaded with images and couldn't see it.

Do you think the barbels will grow back then?

It seems to have no difficulty finding food without them.

Hi folks, I've rescued a Cory from a very dirty 3' tank containing a 12" Crayfish and this lone Cory. Can anyone id the species? He appears to have lost his barbels and has some dorsal damage which will probably heal. Will the barbels grow back do you think? http://mytriops.com/temp/cory.jpg Th...

I'd like to thank everyone for their contribution to my issue.

I can correct my own images and my Aquarium Wiki Encyclopaedia page on this fish.

So at least there will be 4 sites with the correct picture of this popular fish on it!

:wink:

Many thanks.

I've found that it happens around feeding time. How about you? :?: Amanda I've only seen it the once and I wasn't feeding them. They were at it for quite a while (20mins roughly) which allowed me to get my camera out. Odd, it's not been widely documented anywhere and it is (I assume) unusual behavi...

Can you help? I ask because it's not got very distintive bands along its body like in the PlanetCatfish Gallery. I've had it about 6 months and its very shy. I've got bits of bogwood in the tank but I've yet to see it chew on it. This fish is about 2-2.5" long. http://www.theaquariumwiki.com/im...

Hi folks, I've had this lone catfish in my tank for a year and he seems to be very chummy with my Corys. He certainly seems to think he is a Cory! He is the length of my Bronze Corys. I first I thought he was a Oto, but he has a adipose fin and the Otos I've seen don't. If would be great if someone ...
