Re: Fish tanks in loft/Attic?
And make sure your floor joist are such that it can handle the weight (load bearing range). I don't know what its like in Scotland but here in the US attic flooring can have a low "load bearing range".

Re: multiple species
Thanks guys, once I realized I needed to start with a CLOG add, its working out. But here's another problem: I noticed the hybrid Syno I post about in January www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=335804#p335804 is unlike any of the hybrids in the families list. I want to add it to my "My...

Re: multiple species
Thanks Eric, but I don't get that layout. Mine says "go add some"?
And how would I add fish to "My Fish List"? I don't see a path.

multiple species
Okay, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I give up. How do I add multiple species to one aquarium in "My Aquaria"?

Re: My Public Aquarium: exhibit blues - how to make them?
Yes, my definition of a 'superbug' is a microorganism that has mutated enough to resist our basic medications, or some other microorganism that we haven't even heard about yet.

Re: My Public Aquarium: exhibit blues - how to make them?
Viktor, I don't mean to alarm you, but here on the west coast, Pets Mart fish are known for having "superbugs". If I ever just have to buy a fish from that store chain, I double quarantine them. I don't know the quality of the 'Pets Mart' fish on the east coast (could be better?), but I ho...

Re: My Public Aquarium: exhibit blues - how to make them?
At 3:59 of your second Hemiodus sp. video (with the "kill first 3 of their kind" in the tag line), there is one specimen with a single dot on the side. I know Hemiodus gracilis can be variable, but it may be that you have another species in this one? According to Baensch & Riehl that f...

Re: My Public Aquarium: exhibit blues - how to make them?
Good question. I've never raised Arowana so can't help you there. It could be the way they were raised, genetics of the parents, balance of the number of males, or females, or males and females, personality of one fish, or the personalities of some, or the combination of fishes. One thing is clear t...

Anyone have experience with the effects of burning incense in the same room with an aquarium?
I'm thinking it can't be good.

Re: My Public Aquarium: exhibit blues - how to make them?
Do you have room to spread them out, maybe in groups of 2, 3 or 4? Might be better than watching them thin themselves out?

Re: Crinum plant with plecos?
I've grown Crinum thianum with Ancistrus sp. along with cats from other Families and never had a problem. But can't speak to your L200's or L204's. I would imagine since your L204 likes to eat wood, it might have a go at your Crinum. my 2¢

Re: Is it possible to spawn Synodontis contractus?
Thanks for the details. What size tank do you have them in and what type of filtration? Do you do anything special with the lights aside from the standard 10-12 hour lighting period?

Re: Is it possible to spawn Synodontis contractus?
Wow, that is good new Phoenix.L! Can you talk a little more about your tank layout and parameters? I have one S. contractus and am looking for more also. It's hard to find them out here on the west coast also. But once I get them I hope to spawn them as well.

Re: My Public Aquarium: exhibit blues - how to make them?
1) I would isolate her from the male just as a precaution. Nothing is off the menu with crayfish in my experience 2) I would only feed on occasion. Not make it a 'main-stay' in the diet. Then I think, your main thiaminase-rich diet will make up for this. Depending on the size you grow them out too, ...

Re: My Public Aquarium: exhibit blues - how to make them?
Victor, just fyi, the male crayfish can be id'ed by a pair of modified swimmerets that act as a kind of 'gonopodium' right at the juncture of the thorax and the abdomen. Similar with the female: at the juncture of the thorax and the abdomen she has an indentation indicating the reproductive canal. I...
