Well done. Bet you couldn't believe your luck! A bloody tankfull of Parancistrus ... A tank full mind! How come you only bought three then? ;) Dude I was tempted believe me, some of them looked not so well :( and I think three of these in this size tank as adults is enough, they can be right noidy ...

Indeed and thank you. You absolutely never see these round here. I have only ever seen single specimens and only then every few years, I bought them all. Had a wacky dream last night about parancistrus, (sad I know) got up at 3am couldn't sleep, went downstairs and watched David Attenboruough DVDs t...

See if you can guess?

So fate dealt it's hand for me today, simplifying things considerably.



and they were labelled up as chaetostoma so they were a Bargain Bonus buy!

got any pictures of the whole tank?

cool, where did you see them rupert old bean? viktor I meant Brachyplatystoma tigrinum I would love one of these but its just a pipe dream: Pseudopimelodus mangurus when I was a kid and I had microglanis I always thought it would be cool if they grew bigger. Now I am thinking: Pseudopimelodus bufoni...

Maybe a tigrinum or a juruense......

30" fire eel is too big enough I think!

Hmmmmm.... all interesting ideas. I had thought of a snakehead or a puffer as it goes Racoll. I have also thought of Batrochoglanis raninus but trying to find one would probs be hard judgeing by my previous efforts. All efforts to find Parancistrus nudiventris have evaded me :( where does one find r...

Hello my good chums. I have cleared my tank out completely of fish and am looking for suggestions. I have been thinking of a tank with just one specimen fish in it, something interesting and catfishy but alternative 'oddballs' could be considered. Feel free to post suggestions. The tank is 4ft long ...

Please help Id this fossil.
No Idea of age but came out of mudshale, can get a location if that helps, no idea what age.

love it!

It's looking that way Viktor my good chum.
If I can't find any parancistrus pretty soon then I am out I think.

Yep thats it! thanks!

Planet catfish: the place to go to find out EVERYTHING!

Ah cool, thanks.
I think the washed out look is my camera and the lighting, I thought it was a cedar but I grew it from a seedling I found so have never been sure.
I will look that one up!

Can anybody identify this tree species for me, I have n idea
Thanks

I have had my feelers out for a Parancistrus nudiventris for over two years now, grate to see a picture of one in the wild, my favourite Catfish. Thanks for posting. Me too, probably more than 2 years for me. I fear the search is fruitless :( Sad to think that when H.Zebra exploded on to the fish k...

That is so Rad Viktor I love it, your doing what I dream of doing

Sorry Jules if I have.

Got/ever get any Parancistrus dude?

But how cool would it be if it morphed into a monster with a 12" wingspan!

Can anyone explain this a bit more clearly for me please: Linebreeding concentrates the genes of a specific ancestor or ancestors through their appearance multiple times in a pedigree. When a specific ancestor appears more than once behind at least one animal on both the sire's side and yet another ...

Here it is:



Part 3-6 the splashing tetras really make me doubt the theory of evolution of species.

Your tanks are awesome!

I think people should be bit less prissy about treating fish, I would just get hold of it and slice it open ,see whats going down and go from there. I't will be fine, fish are hard as nails,I cut a bumblebee catfish out of the gills of a Brachyplatystoma tigrinum , the gills are much more sensitive ...

Mine used to do this to The Grokefish
