i love common names.. love the chuckle i get Slinky rockcat..

How big are they? I cannot tell size based on the photo..

ted is just down the road from me (well 50 miles) but also the guy I got my knifefish from. Will have to see what they are when he gets them in!

keep me posted.. I may be interested in some if you sell any.

Something is wrong with my internet at home. i will be working on it tonight. I did find a single casualty. This was the runt of the group. I am guessing he hadn't been eating with the others (as he was really thin). I also know he was one where I could see his tail in the cave under driftwood they ...

pictures were taken, internet was down all night.

Well they aren't getting fatter, but definitely not getting skinnier. I did see two of the bigger ones picking up chopped trout worms (my worm farm is doing well, so this is a plus as well.)

I will charge my camera's battery at lunch and hopefully get some pictures tonight.

Sorry, been super busy/lazy lol.. Yes. still have yet to add the hatchetfish as I had hoped, but all knives are active and seem to be doing fine. I haven't lost any. I still don't see them actually feed, but their activity increases when the worms hit the water. I believe I have two species (Steatog...

any for sale frank?

is possible that it is the common bn variety called "green dragon"here in the US?

My fish are all doing fine (from what I can tell.) They arrived Tuesday, and I have been extremely busy with work and household stuff. They really scare me. Some days they will sleep on the bottom all day/night and not move for anything, then the next morning... POOF they are ALL swimming around. I ...

Well good news, 13 centipede knives will be in my tank either today or tomorrow night. Will post pictures once they are in..

excited~!!! trying to get more worm farms going to sustain a large population of worms

Ben, what was your experience with the centipede knives (Steatogenys duidae)? I have several feeding options, but was curious if they ever got to taking high end pellets or something like repashy? I have read a few threads about how they can be weaned onto high end pellets, but I will continue to do...

Searching for my camera ...

Martin, that one looks like... someone I know

i will complete my post this afternoon/tonight. I am converting my 125 gallon community bar tank into a centipede knifefish (Steatogenys duidae) tank. My friend is bringing them in from South America this week. I hope to pick them up this weekend (pending his OK to release them.) Right now the tank ...

Dont worry... the FBI Drug Task Force is watching.. lol

I wish I was able to attend. The next one I will be at.

I wish otorongos were available in the US. (sorry for the misspelling..)

Sorry I meant paraoto spilosoma. U said yours was bigger but your measurement included the tail. The measurements on here I believe do not include the tail. I believe spilosoma is the correct id

why no paraoto. sp jumbo

Looking at the picture, your fish looks identical to every other common albino bristlenose. IMO, based on the fry in that breeder box, there look to be no non-albino fish which strongly suggests yours being common. Look at this Ancistrus sp`pucallpa` . There is one picture, very few keepers and no a...

Red panda barbs (6 total, 2/3males 3/4 females) $60 pending Black Ruby barbs (about 8 total , 1m/7ish females) male is always colored black with ruby face $30 pending 5x L271 (i believe I have 2 males, the rest are either females, or not yet mature) $100/group pending 4x Lasciancistrus (1m,3unknown)...

The dad is a common albino bristlenose. With breeding with the calico (another line bred common bristlenose) you have no issues with the outcome.

neither, not a loricaria..
thinking , or atleast something from that group.

majorly jealous!!!!

Ituglanis.... my dream catfish. Beautiful pictures.

2 different species.

I am surprised no one has experience with both of these...

I have a hard time spending money on the odd characins as the ones tend to never do well for me. I love the pictures in this thread. I am trying to find something tiny to keep with my betta channoides... guessing I should do rasboras, but are their tetras that also would work and NOT prey on the bab...

How pushy are these when it comes to less agressive fish? I recently purchased some Xenotilapia to house in my new project 75 gal. I wanted to add some of my syno's to the tank as well, but mine have seemed pushy with the brevis and calvus they are currently with, and I don't want to injure, hurt, s...

I am 95% sure I know where he collects from :) based on your information above, the shiners are probably eating it. I would recommend breaking up the earthworm into bite size pieces to make sure they can find it. I am suprised you are having issues feeding. When I kept them in the past, no matter ho...

Is it a closed ended cave? If so maybe a tube open on both ends may help?
