Thanks so much! Not exactly my kind of fish usually but I watched one in their big community tank and kind of fell in love - very graceful, always seemed to be checking something out. And of course that yellow flash is nice too. The only yellow catfish they ever had was a 'flash pleco' and it was wa...

Sorry, should have been more specific :d It looks like one of these, Aplocheilus lineatus. Yellow with orange when old enough, kind of gray and bland when younger. I don't have any tiny fish in the tank but it looks like I would need to get a cover/screen? Real jumpers? My glass cats don't jump but ...

Welcome (back) to Planet Catfish!

Saw one tonight and was told that they're very aggressive to their own kind but good with other fish that don't look similar. Anyone have experience with these? Since my conditions don't allow for a happy betta, the colouring of a mature panchax would seem a good choice? Web search has all sorts of ...

Banjo 3 and syno meet. Tentative first swim out of the coconut Farlowella posing

Went to LFS to buy 6 more harlequin tetras - school so nicely! - but they wouldn't let me buy them since they arrived ick-y. So I looked around and glory be! they had banjos in!!! I've been looking for these almost since I started on this forum! Yea! Never need to QT fish from there so in they went ...

Nice! Those shish-kabob skewers work very nicely, eh? I sometimes load mine up all the way so the twigs can eat without the plecos bugging them.

Good idea with the oak - kind of like a purple martin house. Fish apartments.

You are a magnet for beautiful fish.

Now I know exactly what you mean. It was the same whisper filters that I had to cover. My farlowella liked to climb in. I used mesh at first but it was too fine and would gunk up eventually. Maybe look at a hardware store for eaves trough cover. It's stiff plastic and is used to prevent leaves and d...

Eek. No pictures is wonderful. Guys don't have it too bad but the women certainly get treated differently depending on what they look like. Sensible people try not to but we all do it. If I'm a hot babe I'll be treated differently than if I'm a scary woman with a scowl and mustache. Imagine the kook...

How 'bout taksan gets a thums-up?

Just have to say that your pic is really good! Congrats on the spawn.
More pics If you can get them, please

Hey Grokefish, Rants are good for the soul eh? This topic is really important for us to think about whether we agree or disagree, it doesn't matter, what matters is that we can take the time to think about our part is this whole business. Maybe it makes some of us a little better fish-keepers? The p...

Welcome to Planet Catfish

I'm sure someone will come along with the right answer soon but in the meantime, a hairclip over the end will block the entrance. I've even used a plastic strawberry 'basket' like you get from the supermarket over my heater until I had time to find a perfect solution.

Good rescue by the way!

Didn't watch the video but I get the idea - I would be sad to see it, so no visit for me. Matt: Yet this thing that is so sacred to us is not extended (generally) to other beings which contain this 'sacred' thing. VJ: this is where it starts to bear on people's faith: animals have no soul, they do n...

Going out to shovel... Poor you...we have a Chinook moving in...yahoo!!! Birger :YMPARTY: Lucky you! Enjoy for the rest of us please b-) I just had the snow plow push a giant ice boulder from the street to the middle of the driveway... Moved it back out to the edge of the roadway by using my ice ch...

:YMAPPLAUSE: Lots to think about, If I can get my mind off your Prettier Half's plants!! Drool. I would visit a garden specializing in Cacti and succulents! second, you don't have to have more fish than any other Aquarium (which as a norm have both marine and f.-w.), just more of the (biologically) ...

MatsP: Certainly in this country, riders train on their own bike as a single rider, and only later on when you have passed your test are you allowed/supposed to carry a pillion passenger. Yup, same here. I wouldn't be allowed to carry a passenger until I've taken the first two courses/road tests but...

So what words should I use to convey this idea to people in one short sentence? Hmm, I see. Aquarium business does sound like you're selling fish so I guess we would have to be looking for new words and certainly you have it right that you need to be able to describe it in one concise sentence(page...

I think this is mimicry. Don't all beautiful people like superstar models hang together too? :)) Nice fish. Wow. I only have an S. euptera that lives on top of a Kuhli Loach's grass. Still trying to get a clear pic of the loach and the syno both looking out at the same time. Because of the grass, it...

Hi Viktor :d What's with the avatar change?? From cute to sinister? From cudly to frightening? From fuzzy to don't-know-what-to-expect-from-that? Just giving my other cat some web time. She was in front of the pellet stove so that's why she looked so threatening. She's really the sucky one of the fa...

You could also use soft pebbles to hold and the just round silica sand (not 'sharp' sand) as Bas Pels suggested. So far I've had no problem growing all kinds of fine rooted or thick aggressive rooted plants in fine sand. I sometimes use pebbles to initially hold the plant down while I fill up the re...
