Sorry thats kind of what I was getting at, one of those things that seems clear in your own head but if you read it back makes not a lot of sense. :) Dont envy your huge task I run a club website using BB2 and has been since 2005 im being pushed to update the site but its been heavily modified so is...

Is my cats and my aquaria part of the upgrade too?

I thought that also. My LFS has just got some Milesi in so seeing them just confirms it but black versus white spots is a no brainer

So the 2 contenders so far are:-




Anyone else have any suggestions

Hi again I could use some help identifying a Loricariidae sold to me as Bull Nose Plec

Having not kept fish for over 14 month due to being made homeless at one point I have decided to start my tanks again and purchased some stock. I bought some Synos which were labelled up leopard Synodontis having now looked for them on here im struggling, i realise they are still very young but here...

It could be as I have noticed they can go from very dark to very light.

Here we go the two fish at the bottom have it accross their middle it seems to come and go though I have also seen this in the past on my L001 which has never been in the same tank as these it just looks like they have been sprinkled in coco powder unfortunately this picture dosnt really show it wel...

I have just bought 3 Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps I know these grow very large but how long will these take to reach their full size or even 12" Also when I chose these fish I chose ones that seemed to be in good condition as soom of them looked like they had a dusty finish to them but when I hav...

I noticed you asked about acintic lighting well that is what I use but I dont point the light directly into the tankl and mine are very active I'll try to take a pic without the flash so you can see but mine are in with other cats also.

How are yours getting along Andy I remember your thread when you first got them and then again when you were putting them into a larger tank

Just thought I would post a photo update



Its now 4 months since the last pic and its fins are really developing with a nice long tasle on the dorsal fin

This may not be correct but from my experience of keeping a mixed tank they are very inquisitive but they will bully any fish smaller than themselves. but this useually only goes as far as nudging other fish out of the way

I just thought I had more time to get them into their permanent 75 gal. Mine were about 1.5" when I got them and the largest is now 5" I have had them for 9 month now so unless mine are growing very slow then I would say you do have time as mine are comfortable for now in a 3 foot 110 Lit...

I would certainly listen to birger when he says keep them in numbers as I have only 3 and this has led to one dominant fish which picks on the others and has grew very fast. The weakest has grew very little and has been worrying me for some time now. The smalest one is maturing in the way of its col...

Hi All I was wondering if anyone knew of any good Malawi Mbuna forums or websites as I have set up a new tank for these fish. http://www.aviabird.net/fish/forumpics/newtank.jpg One of the reasons is I need help identifying this fish http://www.aviabird.net/fish/forumpics/mbuna1.jpg Also what catfish...

I have managed some better pictures of my suspected feather fin syno





does this help better ID it

To tell if your photo is to dark or too light use the histogram. In photoshop dont use auto levels open up the manual levels. If the histogram is bunched to the left it is underexposed and if its bunched to the right it is overexposed to correct this there are 3 triangles under the histogram. If it ...

I know its just a bronze cory but I got a cracking shot of it last night just wanted to share it with everyone.

I buy in glass to glaze doors and I'll think youll find that it doesnt matter if it is standard size or not if they can get it out of a standard sheet (which are very large) then they charge per square metre or part there of, then charge for how many cuts which is usually 2 per pane.

A couple more pics

Hi all bought a tank a couple of weeks ago and it came with fish I keep a tank of plecs and synos so I put the catfish aquired in with them but the guy I bought them from just buys what he likes the look of and wasnt interested in their names there are 3 in total all very different but I will put ea...

All I can add is the hard spine on its dorsal fin only runs about two thirds the length of the fin and then the rest is like a soft tassle

Now 8 months on and I ask again any ideas this fish is now 120mm long I still have all 3 the one in the pic is 120mm long another is 80mm long and the other is still 50mm long the latter only a shade larger then when I got them. Buy accident I came accross a website that was selling Synodonts Eupter...

Bought 3 of these not realising that syno's are known as upside down catfish. I looked at Synodontis nigriventris which has the common name Upside Down Catfish but the pictures look different to my fish so im assuming mine are not this breed. http://www.aviabird.net/fish/updncat.jpg Any Ideas Hope t...
