Tim, That's a cool picture, more of those sorts of things for various catfish families would really help. I have to say though that the pelvic fin shape is a little misleading. It is blunt on the red male and more pointy on the blue female. This is the wrong way around, it should be pointy on the ma...

@SG,

Is any of this online? PM or email me if you need help with the techie stuff.

Jools

Why bother with the expense of an HH clone, he gets through twice as much work as the rest of us as it stands!



Jools

All~ See below. Got this email in to the site, it has Shane and I some what stumped although we did recommend the person spend some time in the cat-elog and register here. My only suggestion at this stage is Horabagrus . Images may or may not be forth coming. Any ideas? Jools > I have recently bough...

Yeah, I've been meaning to sort through these. Some of them are not quite right or need a bit of attention. Another thing added to the "to do" list!

Jools

BTW, that's Scottish not Scotch.

Hrmmm, I think we should sit on the fence until everyone's browsers catch up with the new set-up?

Jools

Try it again now but select the "Default" theme - I've been busy...

@jscoggs

Sounds like a caching problem, what do you think Rusty/Tim?

Jools

Pete,

Why are you so bold? Does Oliver have any plans for a DVD?

Jools

I don't think my fish ever found FD tubifex all that tasty :P . Guppies and hatchetfish oddly were the only things that would eat it and it took an AGE to sink (if it ever did) - not much use in our tanks. Didn't know about the stick it to the glass/rocks trick mind you. Will probably pick up a pack...

Hi Lee, Nice to see you on the forum. Would this happen to be the fish? <IMG SRC ="http://www.planetcatfish.com/jpg/callichthyidae/corydoras_sp''serrano''1.jpg"> I'm out on a limb at the moment but I _think_ it is from the right place, I can check with the photographer/collector (HG Evers)...

This is your home postal address that letters are delivered to by a real postman.

Firstly, well done! I would value some pics of the breeding set-up and nests etc, as well as shots of the undersides of the male and female fish. These are great cats but are just "out of fashion" at the moment. I spent a lot of time researching this and releated genera in 2000 when i brou...

It's a neat place! and it sure is a LOT faster than the old one (probaby because it had to drag the whole planetcatfish-website along with every link) Actually we had the forum on a another page for that very reason I guess you never found it? Doesn't matter now, and, yes, the new forum runs faster...

Yann,

Yeah, I think a chatroom would be cool but I need some time to sort out a few things before I add even more non-content to the site.

Have you got an example of one elsewhere I can go look at.

Rusty, are you reading this, what do you think about a chatroom?

Jools

@Chill,

Yeah, i'll be doing that over the weekend.

Jools

Patience my friend, we're on it but there are a few other loose ends to sort out.


Jools

These are baby bristlenoses. See the cotm article on them - http://www.planetcatfish.com/cotm/1998-12.htm

Jools

BTW, I would be interested in some pictures of Bagarius, never really got to the bottom of how to ID the various species.

Cheers,

Jools

Dave,

Can you repost the pic - or email it to me big? I'd like to add it to the image library.

Cheers,

Jools

Not too much light, undergravel filtration and a low pH (6.0 - 6.5) - nothing else special at all.

Jools

Rita rita?

Jools

A somewhat tongue in cheek post, here is a great piece of bogwood my pl*cos (Squaliforma) love because it is covered in java fern and nice 'n'n shady.

I promise I will take and post a few pictures of my tanks and/or fishroom soon.



Jools

Well done to Rusty for the work in setting this up. Look - we can poll each other
