How big is your megladoras? I've been told that they rarely grow over 14", adn after I bought a 1500l tank for mine!

in a very agitated manner, as if possessed by an evil spirit! what a great way to describe pictus eating.

This poll opens a much bigger can o' worms than it appears. I had a juruense catfish that woukd eat nothing but live fish when he was relly small. The LFS had got him as a "box filler" in a shipment from south america and knowing the size he could potentially attain meant that I had him fo...

Loisomadoras oncinus grow too big but loisomadoras morrowi grow to much smaller. They are also very cool looking, some people think that they are the less atractive but when they settle down and are happy they go really dark with very bright tiny spots on them. I have three of these which reside wit...

Would not once a month with a big feed is asking for trouble with amonia spikes. Bacteria need feeding also and leaving the filter ticking over on minimal amonia from respiration would surely starve the bacteria? I would say once a week medium feeding would be more apropriate. I have found Juruense ...

There are idiots out there keeping fish and they should really be made aware of what they are doing. I once wen't to buy a fish from a private seller that had in a 6'x2'x2' aquarium, and follow this carefully cos you are not going to believe it. A red tailed catfish A Psudodoras niger A tiger shovel...

Is there anyone out there trying to breed doradids. I would really like to get into this idea but there is little or no information about it and habitat information is very minimal. Does anyone know about them? Has anyone had any succes either accidental or intentional? has anyone seen them in their...

You want to hear a big megladoras rumbling! When I first heard it I thought that something was stuck in my pump. but the master of noises is this doradid. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/incredible/DSCF3337.JPG I don't know what it is but when it and the megladoras want the same hidey hole I have to tu...

If you do get one learn from my mistake and fit a heater guard or better still an external heater.

Keep the juruense! I have kept juruense and some of them are stuuning I believe no less stunning than the tigrinis. Also Juruense are nowhere near as skittery as tigrinis. When they are really small it is hard to see if they are going to have distinct stripes but when you get a good one it is great ...

Thank you

I had a few of them that 'dissapeared' in one of my tanks,their camoflage works well, I would not have ever seen them again except for a group of 6 juvinile orange pike cichlids found them, three of them died after attempting to swallow t...
