Is it an african fish? Decided to try to get this thread going again.

They all look a little roughed up but if you have ever caught one you should know these fish never run out of energy so they flip flop and freak out when they are out of water! They all made it back ok.

Here are the pictures of the first fish of the season! Only esox lucius this time but im crossing my fingers to catch some cats next time!

Yes im sure it did lighten your wallet! At least your happy with it.

wow facepalm! Sometimes my attention to detail is awful! Im very sorry this was a waste of time for me and you. im rather embarrassed.

Racoll i don`t need to keep rare ones! I i honestly have no intrest in the guppies and your chain pet shop small fish! I don`t really need fish that are flashy or bright coloured fish i want a fish that I don`t see often not necessarily rare. I do like the idea of the kuhli loach! In fact i think i ...

yes i have! but my eyes must not be as good as yours i couldn`t count the rays in the dorsal fin.

Just wondering if my fish are multipunctata or grandiops.

Hey everybody! Im looking to stock my 5 gallon with some fish that are not so common or at least not as common as guppies and fish like that. So please give me some suggestions! If you say it i can likely get it at some point or another! (I have an exelent lfs) It can be any kind of fish! Im open to...

Hey everybody! I am making a run into the city in a week or so and am possibly picking up some fish. I was wondering if there are any plecos (not otos) that could be kept in a 5 gallon?

What ridiculous amount of money did you pay for this?

Pics and vids are always nice. Good luck. Too bad you live so far. With such an unbridled enthusiasm, you could help me populate (and feed) my Aquarium :d It is too bad i live so far away! That would be an offer i couldn`t refuse! Oh well maybe some day i`ll make my way down to your area! I would l...

I will bring the camera for sure! And a size refrence device. I can`t wait! Im not sure if you can tell but im as much as a fishing nerd as a catfish nerd through the summer i practicly llive at the river trying to 1 up myself from the last big fish!

Thank you! do you often go fishing birger? If so what for?

Birger

Oh Birger i wish! But i do quite often catch 41"+ pike! This summer we are going on a golf/fishing trip to brainerd mn and there are some muskie lakes in the area so i plan to go try my hand at that!

Im not sure if anybody else are avid fishermen but i know i have been looking forward to this day for a long time! Ever since in ended infact. My target species are Ictalurus punctatus , Ameiurus melas , Ameiurus nebulosus , northern pike (esox lucius), white sucker(catostomus commersonii) and if im...

Haha no problem for the laugh! Most of the time i tend to be a bit of a "funny man" Im pretty good at making people smile! And i would bet folding it into egg whites would work! I assume they wouldn`t harm the fish.

I only plan on keeping one! plus it has been established for quite a while plus there are no other fish in it i just finished growing out some fry and miss having fish in my room! i do 2 water changes a week.

My lfs has some and the clog says it only gets 2.8 inches would it be ok in a 5 gallon? I would love to have a catfish in the tank in my room! also how active are they? Thanks!

Well either i haven`t feed them for weeks (which i have) or they love it! I was putting it where i wanted it in the tank with my hand and actually got bitten by fish i rarely see at day and flee from any sign of me! It also makes feeding my cichlid fry quite easy! It took them a bit to figure out wh...

Hey everybody! Today i was at my lfs and to my disbelief they had repashy foods! I was rather exited so i bought a small pack of meat pie to try out! I should advise you to make it in a well ventilated area! It smelled like i was microwaving dead cats! :YMSICK: So i`ll post an update as soon as i pu...

something like ? that would work right? they are easy to get so that helps too!
also would 5 be an ok number of them? or more or less?

I assumed they would spawn! what could a good catfish tankmate be that would constantly eat the fry? Im more of a catfish guy! would a smaller member of the pimelodus family eat them? like P.blochii or P.pictus? i do have P.ornatus but he will be moving into the 6x2x2 next summer so he wont be in th...

I would like to start a colony of and was wondering what a good number of them would be? They will eventually be housed in a 48x12x20 tank (55 gallon) probley with a couple Of other plecos and catfish.

I must say I do enjoy your ramblings! I would listen to anybody ramble if it was about synos!

Mats i expect them to be anything but cheap. But as i said before getting one is a dream that i wont soon let go!

I agree that sounds like a great idea!

Hey ! Are we gonna pick this coolwall back up? If so I say Pimelodus ornatus I say very cool! Why do i say this? Well first off on my lfs's stock list they are listed as "very cool catfish" and they have a quirky and Very ADHDish personality which makes for some interesting situations! Gre...

Oh I know! My lfs is a wholesale store so the prices are cut in half and he said 400-450 so after I save enough to get my 6x2x2 I'll have so save for another while! Oh well getting one has been a dream since the beginning ! One that I'm not soon going to let go !
