A freind of mine has bred them. I think he was going to write an article for planetcatfish about them? Did one ever get wrote?

The tigrinus more so, but they seem to be living fine...no stress. I used to have decorations but there isnt enough room in a 180 to do something to it that looks real cool. The seem to be ok for now though. Also i tried putting decorations in again and both cats got very terrotorial(sp) and my juru...

Thanks for the comps! The Tigrinus is a foot and the juruense is 13" now. They do dig there little pits. The planiceps is around 10" and the Jau is probably the same or maybe a little smaller. I love these cats. Yeah oo moorrii oo, australias laws are strict to get these pims. Red tail cat...

Yann:edit: pictures

What is the L number to this cat? How big do they get. I have had it for a while now. Eats everything!

Ive always thpught about this but never thought it could work. I never thought about boiling the leaves. Also how would you do water changes without having all the decaying leaves go up the syphon?

ahh sorry..mis understanding kinda. It seemed like you just wanted to post what you knew about the fish instead of giving katfishguy a compliment about it. Availability depends on where you are i guess. Boy is my face red :oops: . So shane, what kind of catfish do you keep....seems like all the cats...

I dont know what you mean by common..as in the amazon or around your area? There are none in any fish stores around here, also we are keeping the catfish to enjoy, not eating them so what does any of the "bad meat talk" matter? Man you didnt say one nice thing and these cats are very nice!...

awesome fish man! P. Niger are great catfish. I have my tigrinus and juruense together with a black arowana. It is a real sight to see. I am also planning to get a ray. I am a little scared that the ray will be bothered by the catfish though. I wil have to see. Good luck with the new catfish.

Got a stergi Cory...any info on it would be great! Thanks

Very nice tigrinus! Love them catfish! .

sorry man..i dont know what the hell your talking about ...maybe if you posted some pics of your cats i could better understand. I just got lost trying to read what was what..I AGREE THOUGH..amazon catfish shopping is FUN!!!

Ok are some nice plecos that stay small and can live with zebra plecos. Also have to be compatable with cardinal tetras, cory cats, and maybe discus...im trying to plan out a planted tank. Thanks for any help!

They are an awesome catfish, compatable with rays(if at the right sizes),3ft wide tank sounds nice. The tank would most likely be ok for awile but with rays and other fish it might get a little packed. I dont know about your plecos. Im not a pleco person as of now. Yes the Juruense would eat discus ...

haha...good idea

Flavicans- Dourada (brazilian name), Zungaro Dorado (Peru)

Salminus Maximus(the characin)- Dorado, Golden Dorado



I think this right ....confusing names

I have the B. Juruense and M. Tigrinus in a 180gallon and the B. Flavicans in a 75gallon. Thanks for the replies! They are awesome catfish!

Can someone show me a picture of a perruno then? Where the dorsal is not that big?

Some of these pics are mine and some I took at shedd aquarium. http://www.arofanatics.com/members/tigrinus4life/tigrinussfishpics2/image01.jpg http://www.arofanatics.com/members/tigrinus4life/tigrinussfishpics2/image03.jpg http://www.arofanatics.com/members/tigrinus4life/juruense/image01.jpg http://...

Is it healing fine...how is it...if its ok then leave it heal on its own. Also instead of salt you can pick up a product called melafix and use that. Melafix will help it heal faster.

Ive seena pic of this cat at about 2ft..they grow really slow though. Also the pic of this one was in the wild. My lfs has one which i dont think they even know they have it since they moved it from the old store and still dont have it labled. They have had it for about 2 years and is up to 8" ...

B. Juruense do not get 2meters...they MAX out at 3ft. More likely 30" though.

Certain types of juruense have a "better" pattern...they are known as "Flash Juruense" or "Flash Zebra Juruense". I think the pattern depends on what river system they come from. You said some were rocking back and forth on there stomachs...was it their stomach or fins?...

yeah there is...i like that asian and black aro one...only if the black aro didnt have yolk thingy!

I already posted this in the old forum but seeing there are new members I thought I would post again. Some of these fish I have and some I dont anymore. Also the pic quality on some arent the best so take it easy on me :lol: ... http://pictures.care2.com/view/1/426752840 there is 3 or 4 pages I thin...

The Tigrinus and Juruense are doing great!...they are both eating. The payara i currently have in the tank with them havent got eaten yet. Im kind of suprised seeing they are only half the size of my cats.

hahaha..anyways there doing good so far...
