Charly

Haha Yes very funny


It actually reminds me of Meerkats (sp?) the way they stick their heads up in the air looking for danger. Not quite the same but still rather interesting.

Maybe it could be expanded to start a new trend "c*tfish" LOL

Probably a rather silly question, however, I have noted it as a regular behaviour of my Corydoras. Quite interesting to watch indeed. Is there a purpose?

It's still silly no matter what it's carried over from!

Ok, so I have 1 Synodontis nigrita and 1 Synodontis obesus.

Nigrita there is a bundle of information on.

I am however, scratching around and not finding much information on the obesus other then it gets rather large (37.5cm according to fishbase).

Could one of you please enlighten me on some ...

I just took some more pictures, of them in the water

Any help is very much appreciated.

like number of fish for this certain tank size for marine and for freshwater

I personally wouldn't be trusting a calculator to work out how many fish can be stocked. There are too many variables to consider.

I thought it was Henry the 8th.

Just on the Antarctic thing, which isn't so trivial.

OOC Have any frozen specimens of catfish or distant catfish relatives been recovered from the ice?

Send the idea to Sony, Microsoft whoever,

The idea is brilliant. Instead of the bubble thing, why not have a barbel attack. Where the little...hang on..this is your idea, I'll leave the designing up to you :razz:

Why not make it a bit environmental, have the Cory dude, save the rest of the ...

It is quite obvious to me that all you want to do is argue. Did you get up on the wrong side of your bed or something?

I find your method of discussion quite patronising and down right rude.

Please feel free to explain what you type, instead of simply making broad sweeping open ended statements ...

Albino medusa? L255 I think possibly.

This one is a hot subject indeed. I intend not to intentionally flame anyone.

First off...They are not hybrids...

I am not an expert, but can you please provide valid scientific information to prove that these fish are indeed not hybrids?

How do you know that the fish you intend to purchase are ...

Have the methods for preserving holotypes changed over the years? or is it still case of preserving in resin?

Are any of the new technologies used to record data? MRI for example? Or are things still done the old fashion way?

Thanks for the response Scott.

I guess I see these wonderfully catfish with brightly coloured seams on fins, and was wondering if these cats have a different and varied diet to those that appear to be relatively plain in colour.

Catfish are definitely not my forte. So I like to learn about these ...

Can anyone please tell me or point me in the right direction, with regard to the effects of pigments in food on the appearance/colouring of Loricariidae.

Has any research been carried out?

What are the results of this research?

Are other environmental factors more relevant in determining catfish ...

OOC How big is the tank? and what are the other tank mates?

MC, no kidding, that's what a lot of locals told us.
I'm not -definitely honest!- trying to piss off North Americans.

I went with a group; a guy from Quito, a local Native guide, two Belgium girls and 5 people from Pennsylvania. Needless to say, the Pennsylvanians weren't relaxed for the first few ...

*sigh*

This topic is getting hotter than the "beer we Like"!!!!!!!!!

Warm beer - no comment! :lol:

Where are the voices from the environmentalists?

For some reason, as long as trees aren't getting cut down, or terestrial animals or oceanic animals are not involved, they seem to stay away in droves ...

IMHO Albino fish seem to lack something (other then pigment). I also think that to line breed to create an albino strain is not overly great on behalf of man. To line breed such a variety for pure commercial reasons is rotten. Why not breed the regular varieties, and in the off chance that an albino ...

Hi Alex,

I purchased mine from Aquotix (Canning Vale). They told me that they get there fish from 1 of 2 breeders. 1 is north of the river, and the other south.

I reckon they are pretty cool.

Four score and twenty years ago...oops wrong forum.

Ok I have some additional pictures they are hard to get, and I am not confident in handling my catfish.

Mouth, probably not clear enough to identify what you may be looking for

This would have to be my favourite - why? coz, I have 5 of these guys and I took the picture

Ok now that is very very very evil! :shock: :twisted:

Jools don't be too worried, its when he hits 999 you should look out. As 666 is the wrong number for the Debil http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies/otn/happy/flamingdevil.gif

Sid, you can get something for that little roach problem you have ...

"Glass buckets" are the words you usually use Sid.

Ok, cool 8)

As an aussie, can I just say, with no offence meant to those who love it, Fosters Lager is one of our worst beer's.

My favourite beer's

Newcastle brown, Heineken, James Boag's Premium Lager, Carlsberg, Guiness, Corona w/ Lemon oh and of course Crown Lager. :P

Some local brewed ...

Western Australia

Ok, I now have my clue. It took a while but I got one. :razz:

Arguments aside, here is some interesting reading for anyone of interest.
