Hello, following the loss of my female L200, I realized that my pH was fluctuating too much. It is usually quite low, around 5.3. My tanks all run on non-remineralized rainwater (except my shrimp tanks) and I haven't had any problems so far. Last night, I discovered that my female L200 died. No matt...

I have no idea of the crossover. Here is the subject with the identification if you ever have any leads.... https://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=334971#p334971 I hadn't thought about the hierarchy and it's true that there seem to be two dominant fish in this group. For the parameters,...

Good morning, I now have for some time, 20 synodontis. When I had them identified here, I was told they were all hybrids. The problem is that they start to really grow and if they continue like that, the tank is going fast and is too small. Having only a small fishroom, I still have a large tank (ab...

Ok thanks.

Ok thank you. Is this kind of attack typical of basilisko or is it just mine that has a bad temper?

Good morning, Possessing a 10-year-old Hypostomus basilisko recently (recovered from a private individual), I wanted to continue this species and found a female (the one I have being a male). Since the wholesalers and pet shops near me don't sex them (they don't want to take any risks in case of err...

Hi,

I have already maintained 2 in a 200l and I find it really too small. They are great swimmers, a tank of at least 150cm in front or even more should be a minimum.

Ok thanks

Good morning, I recently acquired a group of 6 young corydoras adolfoi, normally wild. On the site where I took them, both species (adolfoi and duplicareus) are sold. However, not only does the dorsal band seem very wide to me for Adolfoi, but in addition the images of the pectoral spines seem rathe...

Good morning,
I had it with hypostomus basilisko, hemiancistrus l200, hypancistrus l129 and ancistrus cf cirrhosus. Only the ancistrus nibbled the bulb, the others did not touch it.

ok thanks

The book you would be after would be thousands of pages, a few kilos in total. That's why I would rather think of a collection of books with several volumes, a bit like encyclopedias. If really there is nothing like that, I will try to collect books but the problem will be at the level of the scien...

Good morning, to pass my breeding in professional, I must constitute a file with files for each kind of fish which I wish to maintain / raise (it is obligatory in France). So I'm looking for a reference book, a world atlas with as many species as possible. I already have several books on catfish (in...

Ok thanks

so it would be a leopardus and not a C102? I can take additional photos if that helps.

Good morning, I collected this corydoras a few years ago with my group of Corydoras reticulatus. He is therefore a little over 10 years old and measures approximately 5cm SL. I would like to find a new family for it, but to select it, I need to know its species. I always thought it was a julii but I...

Hi, I am looking for Phyllonemus typus or Lophiobagrus cyclurus. They would be in a 350l tank with 20 hybrid Synodontis, the largest measuring about 20 cm TL. Can synodontis predate this kind of fish? Which species do you think are the best to cohabit with them? How many to introduce? Do you have ph...

Hybrids

Currently I have no more affected fish. I have secondary infections but they seem to be healing slowly. I don't know if it was the treatment or the UV that was effective, but for the moment I don't do the salt treatment if there are no symptoms. I therefore lost two synodontis out of the 7 present. ...

I just did the water change and put the activated carbon in the filter. As it is a 160l and my filter has a flow rate of 800l/h, after how long can I carry out the salt treatment? Is starting with a dose of 5g/l of salt correct? What is surprising is that some synodontis have nothing and are in grea...

Hello, the duration of the treatment ends and unfortunately I still have affected fish. I lowered the temperature to 27°C as you advised me. As we are at the end of the treatment, I turned on the UV in the hope that it destroys the free form of the ich. As some fish always have spots, can I continue...

If I follow your answers, the best is to eliminate the product and do a water change? But suddenly how to treat ich if the diagnosis of the initial disease is the right one? The filter of this tank is equipped with a UV lamp but I removed it because it is indicated on the instructions of the product...

Hello, I come to ask for your help because I discovered yesterday that my synodontis nigriventris were sick, at a stage which seems to me to be advanced. For the record, the aquarium is an extremely opaque blackwater (because of the tannins but also the floating plants) with quite a few coconuts and...

that's exactly it. Apparently the only treatment would be the Seachem metroplex. I'm going to try.
Thanks for your help.

Hello, I was able to catch it. Here are some pictures. Any idea what it could be ?

Hello, I have a problem with a corydoras. I noticed the problem 2-3 years ago but it's really starting to get worse. It started with just streaks of blood appearing (no blood loss). Since then, the traces have grown. The corydoras eats as usual, no pruritus or unusual/abnormal behavior. It also seem...

I have aeneus and they don't have the yellow spot on the back or such a marked orange spot on the head.
Maybe a selection ?

I just realized my mistake, it will be 300m2 and not 3000m2... Apart from the carp, probably Chrosomus notropis. It is not dug yet so I have a little time to choose the future population. I like Leiocassis and Tachysurus but I'm afraid it will be difficult to find them in my area, I have to check wi...

How about the common bullhead does not get very large Jeanne I come across Cottus gobio while searching the internet, is this the one you are talking about? Would madtoms survive? I haven't seen any species larger than 18cm so I'm afraid they'll get eaten by the big carp. I spotted: -Silurus asotus...

Hello, I plan to make a pond of about 3000m² with a depth between 1.50 and 2m (so that the water does not freeze in winter). We would like to put koi carp there. Being passionate about catfish, I was wondering if there were species that could live there all year round? The estimated temperature is 1...
