Chubby irsacae

Hey,

Thanks Birger for Seeger's description - it will be easier for me when I will see this fish in real not on a photo .

Hello, well Michelle Buckland manage to catch a brown Clariidae. It is however bigger that 10 cm. I have no idea what differentiate Clarias from Tanganikallabes so if anyone has any ideas please share them :). It is WC fish. 23 cm TL caught near Cape Kachese Lake Tanganyika of course :). It is in Po...

Hey,

wow those available in Poland look nothing like this...
I would never except so much difference betweeb WC and captive bred fish .
Thanks Hoplo for this info.

Hey,

doesn't look like any baby I have ever seen.
It is very cute however I am pretty sure that with 100% identyfication we will have to wait until he loose juvenile coloration.

Regards.

Hey,

I have had the same problem with mine after I brought them to Poland from NL (thanks Sid! .
They will start eating, just give them some time as Sid alread said.

Regards.

Hey,

Oliv, I can understand that .

So please tell me if hybrids are sterile? Or you can spawn them as well with hormone injections?

It would be really nice to know if you know about people who use hormones to spawn plecos . Just to make us more aware in a pet shop.

Best wishes.

Hey, I will let you all know when I will be heading England. Moscow is also on my "must see" list :). However it will take some time. This year I am going to spain to see the ocean - my dream since I was a kid :)). Back to the topic. Oliv, do you use hormones to spawn only one species? I m...

Hey, Sid I don't think this is spam. I am almost sure that Oliv use translator to write so please, be a little bit more understanding since from professional breeder of synos from Russia we all can take a GREAT lesson or if not a lesson a clarification about hybrids :). Every link he posted contains...

Hey,

probably because there is a lot of "Loachaholics" in Europe so is the market for more unusual loaches.
But it is just a blind shot .

Regards.

Well,

it is first time I see not on a photo . However in this video there is no .

Regards.

I will not comment a "thinking in fish" because I know nothing about thinking at all :). I mean I am not sure how it works in humans or mentioned rats physically, chemically and electricically so I have no idea if it is possible in fish brain or not however I have very similar story to Mat...

Hey,

hehe this topic remainds me this old movie:

http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=LALdObMkDRc

Regards.

Maybe I should search out and resurrect the "this is what I look like in the real world" thread???

Imho an splendid idea .

Anyway I keep my fingers crossed for new fathers and mothers .

Regards.

Now I get to start bugging you and Jools to post more pics

Not only you Barbie. Some of us would be really happy if we could see some of this "every day" photos .

Regards.

Hey,

it's strange but my females keep fighting much often than males )

And someone said it is up to us ;)

Hey,

thanks Larry.

I hope this fish will do it. And I'm still waiting for photos from under water.

Regards.

Hey, Sid I don't know how things are working in NL but in Poland you can catch anything. You just have to drive for about 30 minutes to get considerably far away from a city then stop, go to the forest and voila :). The Law is other thing and you have to know what species you can collect and what yo...

Hey, could you provide photo of this fish in water? I just cannot recognise this disease and it bothers me a lot :/ Also what other fish are in its tank? Larry are there any chances that this white patches before fin are caused by physical damage and fish is in totally bad condition because feeding ...

Hey,

yup really nice relation. And also one important thing inculded: first practise in your own country, then you may think about exotic trips

Where one could buy all this nets needed for collections?

Regards.

Happy new year

Hello,

drgold how you catch your cichlids in so well decorated tank? I've been trying many, many different methods and only removing decorations bings effects . My fish are intelligent

Regards.

Yup from second description it sounds like normal multipunctata spawning behaviours so congratulations! :) Probably you will soon possess a group of cute, small cats ;). If females are still small it would be good to strip them pretty soon since catfish babies are much bigger that cichlids babies an...

Hey, are you sure your catfish are Synodontis multipunctata ? Maybe they are Synodontis lucipinnis or Synodontis sp(2) since breeding behaviour sounds strange. I've hear about multipunctata spawning like that but it is not often. Eggs were rather big? Like cichlids eggs or rather much more smaller? ...

Hey, Lake Tanganyika has, by now, 11 described species of Synodontis genus which are endemic to this particular lake. These are: Synodontis grandiops Synodontis dhonti Synodontis granulosa Synodontis ilebrevis Synodontis irsacae Synodontis lucipinnis Synodontis multipunctata Synodontis petricola Syn...

Hey, Sid, you know Bathybathes ships really bad... ;). However Thomas Andersen has received this species from our Polish importer without any problems. I've twice ordered fish from Germany and by DHL courier they arrived happy and healthy without any problems... So guys if on your trips through Germ...

Hey, hmm I haven't thought about that :(. Sorry Marc. However it was really, really interesting fish Mike. It would be nice to see this photo again ;) and Marc mentioned he doesn't mind :). It was first time I've ever hear about so strange fish... :) Marc, your characin somehow resembles me (a littl...

Hello, indeed good choice, what a lucky guy! :) I have never kept granulosus but from petricola and polli as companions I would rather choose petricola. True polli get really big (my biggest male is around 20cm SL). Big syno will be considered as a potential opponent by granulosus so I would try som...

Uh, that's a shame

Anyway great fish you have found Marc
