Is there really a big dip in front of the dorsal fin, or is it just the angle?I guess his 'armour' is still developing. It looks like someone has taken a bite out of him

What are these fry, please? Catfish? Also, how does your cat react to the fish?

I seem to have the buttons. I wonder what determines whether you have them or not?

Looks good!

My parents didn't really want me using their teaspoons, so I'm using Screwcumbers.

Welcome to PlanetCatfish!

I had something like this with some fish from the lfs. I managed to catch it and had it in a jam jar for a while, until I released it into a pond. SNV30574.jpg It may have been a dragonfly larvae, but I don't know how it got into the lfs. From the importers or the UK? It could have been anything, bu...

I would think it will be nearly impossible to ID a BN without capture location. Even that depends on whether they are WC, and if you know where they came from.

Which parts do you replace? This would be destroying your bioligical filter if that is what you mean.

When are triples going to start counting as spam?

Welcome to PlanetCatfish, Bianca. Good luck with your Syno's!

I didn't write it very clearly, but I meant that when you have pieced together all the sections written by various people, (before you actually add it to the site as an article) you could post it, and have other members suggest things that might need changing, before it is 'published'.

Sounds good. You would need to make it obvious where it is though, otherwise people will still ask us questions like 'Why the stars in c*****d?' because they haven't found the all-conquering article :wink:. Before you actually make it into an article you could post it and have people suggest things ...

Other, more c*****d-wise people can probably expand on this, but a species may be suitable.

@Loachy: How do I do that? Adding to My cats page? Go to the Aspidoras taurus page and click on the like at the top of the data sheet. Picture 23.png You can put how many adults and the ever-increasing population of young there are. You can also add notes such as 'constantly breeding, I am very hap...

You should add the species to your My Cats page, then you would be the only keeper of .

Welcome to PlanetCatfish. On your My Aquaria page you can enter your tank details and a picture, and say which species are kept in there.

This is like the fifth time but hey.

Just as long as it won't outgrow her tank as well.

Use clog tags - You can do the whole genus - , or an specific species - .

I'll agree with Richard and Martin on the Ancistrus sp(3) verdict. Looks very much like my BN, and pretty much everyone's I would suspect. :wink: I've just noticed something. Everything like My Cats people and pictures for Ancistrus sp(3) have been moved over to Ancistrus cf_cirrhosus and A. sp(3) h...

You can never have too many, except if the tank is not big enough. 10 would make quite a good group and would bring out their more 'natural' behaviour.

Always the more Cories the better.

See how he is then. If he's got no better then I would anesthatize him in an overdose of Clove Oil in solution. There's no point in giving him a long and painful death if he's not getting better. Being on his side is a sure sign he is his way out though, so don't get your hopes up. :( If you keep th...

Wouldn't the L cats eat the paint and foam when they are trying to eat the algae? I have a fake rock which is hollow. It is made of some sort of resin and was painted pretty well for a mass-produced object. Then my BN came along and the rock is mostly white underneath where the algae grows. I hope s...

Yes, to put it simply.

Big breath! :lol: OK, I looked through all the Synos and the ones that matched your description were - Synodontis aterrimus , Synodontis comoensis , Synodontis robertsi , Synodontis serpentis , Synodontis greshoffi and Synodontis sp_hybrid(3) . And obviously Synodontis schoutedeni and Synodontis koe...

What is he meant to look like/used to look like. With IDing this pic you may run into the problem of 'what does a stressed one of these look like?'

Nothing to be sorry about. I don't know what it is with Photobucket but I seem to see quite a few of those messages on this site. I clicked on the link, remembered what the file was called from the address bar, took that off, found the picture in your album, tried to upload it, and... it failed. I d...
