Accidental hybrid or just an unusual looking clown ?

plec3.jpg I have a general community tank without any additions for at least 5 years. Yesterday I spotted this out and about and just looks not right and a bit odd. Not sure it is obvious in the photos but it looks shortened in the front It looks similar to a Panaqolus maccus which I have at least ...

Re: Losing mature common bristlenose

The L66 are still smaller than the bns.
Although thinking about it all - I did move in a male bn from a different tank. He isn't the biggest but commandeered his own cave.
Can one bn terrorize a whole colony?

Re: Synodontis eupterus fighting / bullying

I will try and add more hiding places. They have lived together for many years and never fought until they moved into a bigger space.

Re: Synodontis eupterus fighting / bullying

Sorry - I just found the answer to that by searching for feather fin.
I will now need to look out for another couple of adults or will 1 probably be good enough?
Other tankmates are polypterus delhezi.

Synodontis eupterus fighting / bullying

I have taken in a couple of mature Synodontis eupterus from a friend. They were in a 4 ft tank and are now in a 6 x 2 x 2ft. Since the move 2 months ago they have started to fight more and more. there are plenty of hiding spaces. One is more dominant although smaller and darker whereas the larger li...

Hi Martin,

Re: PLECOS and Indian Almond Leaf

Hi,
If you use oak leaves, when should they be collected - as soon as they fall? Do they need then to be dried?
Have got some oak trees in the garden and would love to give it a go but a bit overcautious I think.
thanks

Re: Bought as clown plec expecting Panaqolus maccus

Thanks. Think you are right - I did look through but clicked on the ones least like mine first time through. Maybe it will develop more spots as it develops.

Bought these fish a few months ago and they just aren't the same as my p.maccus.
But are they just a variation or a different species?

Re: Wanted: Common Bristlenose plecs.

Hi Kieran, That's good news. Hope you have success rearing them. I tend to let mine do their own thing and a few survive that way. I used to have an awful lot of them at one point. I think if you move them the main points are keeping them in the same water conditions as your main tank and making sur...

Re: Wanted: Common Bristlenose plecs.

Hi,
I have got about 4 and they are still small - about an inch. Will have trouble catching them so probably be ready in a month when I move some fish from that tank. If you find some others in the mean time just let me know.

Re: Do Corydoras Paleatus School? (same Q with Brochis)

I recently acquired a group of 30 panda cories in a well planted tank with lots of bogwood and they spend most of the time in small groups. They are in a 140 gallon community tank so obviously lots of space. I am waiting patiently to see some large group action but have the feeling it will be when I...

Re: Hatching & Raising fry

Would this apply to hoplo cats as well? They have laid eggs in a bubble nest attached to the crossbar. I need to do a waterchange tomorrow. I can try and do a water in and out at the same time to try and keep the levels up. They won't make it if they hatch though so I will need to try and remove the...
