hey guys does anyone have any pictures comparing their sexes? like a shot from a above comparing the bodies or a shot that compares the anal fins any corydoras would do but preferably Bronze this is for a talk for our local canberra aquarium society and i need pictures to back up with the power poin...

i would think it could be some form of pollution that caused it but i would have thought that would affect every fish thenn

just try doing a 50% water change while you swish around the whole tank so you can get as much bacteria you can get

when the fry have hatched and are free swimming, is it ok to leave them in there with the parents, or do the parents eat their own fry? No parents dont eat their own fry. sometimes you see fry hanging on the sides of the parents :D i do have some floating breeding traps that my dad used years ago w...

Congrats!! i know the feeling of your first bn fry!! have you considered of getting some fry savers ? im guessing about 25+ fry will come out. the thing is when you see the bubz about to come out you take out the cave, chase the mail out and put the fry in the frysaver. i actually haven't tried it b...

im so sorry!!!

my pakistani loaches suffered the same problem. all i know is that its a bacterial infection but i think maybe a guy known as larry (Apistomaster) on this forum is the scientist you could ask him about this problem

not sure if a sailfin pleco is good for a 125 gallon i think it might be too small but not an expert on these fish a good pleco is a Ancistrus cf_cirrhosus or otherwise known as the common bristlenose an okay algae eater but i would rate it pretty low actually these fish are readily available it wou...

DJ-don, where's your 'off-topic cat' picture? :beardy: late reply :P but took a shot of my cat for the hell of it and it reminded of this thread!!! http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy30/DJ-DON/Photo0254.jpg can you see the face thing appearing on her body?! its like she hides her face and it appe...

nice work!

can we see a shot at the top to see the fish at the bottom?

Welcome to PC mate!!

and great collection of tanks and fish

Welcome to PC

great site to be on and great collection of catties there!

i would definitely think a Panaque just because of mouth. you can see its teeth to eat wood

i would think panaque maccus too but im definitely not the best id-er on this forum or in the world

thanks for your opinions 2 wheels
but i dont think the tank could fit a HOB because its got a hood (fluval vicenza 180)

but just found out the brand name for the filter

its a Atman 881

the reason i like these filters because they work like canisters except inside the tank and the have more intake holes than other filters allowing for more filtration

the problem with the canister sponges is that they dont catch the debris so i have to decieded to add wool into the filter-catchs most of the debris so i clean the filter once a week because of it.

Hi Nate There is a discussion on setting up panaque tanks in this thread, and it also includes some pictures of my panaque tanks http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=28796 Cheers Geoff i was going to say the same thing! look at geoff's setups. it really helped me a lot for my ...

hey guys i have a problem in my 180 litre tank. i have 2 L397 and 2 l104 and soon to be one more L104 (if i can find a female that is) and 2 small bns and one male bn (one of the smaller bns will be removed) they poop so much my filter which is a fluval 205 gets clogged very quickly. and there is a ...

Sounds like a job for a pond owner in Florida or Thailand. thats what i was thinking maybe a really large pond of 2000 litres plus but think about the filtration needed!!! and i saw one of these in australia being sold for $6500 nearly the 5 digit mark :-X if you do manage to get a female let alone...

Hey I will set up a 540 liter tank, and I wondered whether L-104 to go along with L-204? Will they crossbread with each other? L-104 has already produced fry. I know that L-204 is difficult to get fry on. not a total expert on these situations but 540 litre tank is really big and i think it wouldn'...

maybe L104?
but this fella looks like he has a sunken belly.

i reccomend you worm him just incase or start feeding him with some zucchini with garlic

hey guys i found some small surface dwelling fish in the tank with only plecos!! the man who sold the anubias had rainbow fish in the tank so im guessing the fish came from there! what would i feed them? it seems like they are absorbing their yolk sacs or they are very fat! i have decapsulated brine...

you could try garlic extract or feeding him mussel?
just use the garlic extract on the food your feeding.

otr use mussel-i heard it turns on cichlids feeding ways

i've used an old rubber band. eventually the rubber band will break but by then hopefully the plant will establish on the wood but by the looks of it right now its putting its roots on neighboring plants wood and even a small cave!! but Im thinking of using cotton next time

i found that "good paremters" differ from person to person.

i had a pleco suffering pop eye. i did every 2 day water changes of 35% and adding a half dose of aquasonic bactonex (actually smaller because your only suppose to use full dose every 5 days.)

My English name is John, and I'm from Republic of Korea. I like predatory big catfish very much, and I breed two ID sharks(normal and albino). Also I wanna breed Korean big catfish. (In Korea, name of Korean big catfish is 'Megi') Thank you for read my introducing! hey John!!! can i just say I'm fr...

1. definitely male. if a bn has already started to grow bristles along the nose its definitely. females can get britles at the tip of their mouth but they dont grow to large extent except maybe the medusa pleco-sorry cant remember l number or scientific name 2. i cant answer that question but mas se...

here is some threads on how to freight fish

the tunze is taking forever to come to australia so its going to take another 2 weeks to get here!

but i have a freind who has a heap of collection of pumps and i have asked him for one

but do you think a movement of 1400 litres per hour or 2000 litres or below good enough?

pic of the thread!!! It may be right now, but I would guess that pic-of-the-thread will be when there are a whole bunch of these guys feeding in a grow-out tank. Haavard: Great work in keeping the water/fish in good condition and getting the spawn. -- Mats well i should have said so far then but yo...

thanks guys
found 2 more flowers which are about to burst today on the one plant, but the flower stalk is too small to be emerged out of water
