Re: The hybrid Syno thread

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
If I end up having any room, I might end up getting some spinipterus acsi in my new 65 gallon. :D I admire your taste and who knows, maybe these fish may pop up one day. Mine were listed as "Tatia novia spec. Guyana". You could ask your supplier if he/she has ever come across that name on...

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
My son and I visited the petstore with the Zamoras, they hadn't sold one lol, so we came home with 3. They are officially the first "freeswimming" residents of my son's 40 gallon, even though they are currently just laying around. I hope you enjoy them as much as I (still) do. Wrt free sw...

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
Update: Ageneiosus sp(4) : female seems to improve; male still in bad shape Premature remark...... female swims, but doesn't eat, so it comes down to the fact that she's wearing herself out. Sometimes she gets startled (by what?) and swims like crazy until she drops on the sand. The rest of the tim...

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
There may not be a problem when combined with some of your Synos, but there are too many other "dangers" for Zamoras in your tank - as discussed. So as long as the 55 works (except for a stubborn Syno), just let it run without Zamoras to avoid extra, unwanted problems. Combining them with ...

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
It is hard to watch them suffer but equally they need to be given every opportunity to get better... Watching these fishes suffer is indeed hard and it seems to become harder every day.

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
some fishes are still struggling to stay alive. Most have indeed refound their balance, yet some still have no idea what they are actually doing, which results in swimming rather panically, bumping into things and damaged noses. This is one fish I'm very worried about: the male Ageneiosus sp(4) It ...

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
Nice fish, Arjan. Perhaps you could show (with a ruler) that yours are a little longer than the current given length (1,3 inches SL) on the data sheet? According to Arjan his specimens are about 9 cms TL. That's a relevant difference imo.

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
Your 55 has some fishes I would not combine with auchenipterids. The Labeo becomes too agressive when large, the Raphaels are too spiny to share a hole/hiding place with and I don't know which Synos we're talking about. Mild/small species are okay, but larger species like featherfins may be too bois...

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
3 is fine, no problems. It's not a matter of robust or not. As these fish have internal fertilization, the males have a device for doing so. The front of the anal fin is thickened to form a kind of, well, you know. If you hover over the name link in my previous mail, the picture you get to see shows...

Hi Martin, Thanks for your concern. It's too early to say anything. The water change was less than 24 hours ago. Besides, I'm not going to fall into my own trap again.

Yesterday I helped the elephantnose out of its misery. Due to unwanted and unexpected side-effects of Camacell as well as my own apparent incompetence, all knifefishes in my tank have died.
