Major Dittos to all the names dropped by everyone here so far.... For me a couple of the major highlights were putting faces to names I have corresponded with but had not met personally before this wknd..... In fact, I probably have seen some of these folks before and being pretty new (to catfish) d...

I plan on getting a couple...
figure they will make great stocking stuffers!

pm'd you
also looking for hastatus????? anyone??????

I like the Rummy nose idea... I have had such bad luck with them in the past though.... I will buy a dozen (or more) from LFS and inevitably, they drop off quickly....I may need to try a different source for them.

Anyone have any bright ideas for me.... I am thinking of adding "something" to my L-263 tank, maybe a schooling tetra or ????? It's a 125, and while I don't mind the fact that I have some relatively nocturnal fish residing, it would be nice to add something that wouldn't interfere with my ...

Hello: I recently purchased some "wild caught" corys upon observation when they arrived, I concur with the wild caught as the fins seem to be a bit tattered and worn, but my concern is there are some that have a bit of slime on their skin, almost like it is sloughing off.... can anyone rec...

Anyone know where I can get some Red Lizard Catfish????? I think they are L-10A???
would like to get around 6 or so, if the price is right..
thanks
david

all the tanks are BB. Wouldn't an electrical shock have an effect on the cories ? And yikes, how the hang would I check that ? Thanx. Temps are the same. If you had a low voltage issue, you wouldn't necessarily notice it, but it can react on some fish and not others... as i said, younger ones may b...

Assuming your temps were similar...
Just a thought,,, but is the tank grounded... I have heard of younger fish getting zapersped by low current, when it doesn't appear to effect others..... maybe a bad heater or one of the powerheads????
you never know.... might not be enough to feel it yourself....

an anyone enlighten me with culture/husbandry on H. luteus???
I understand from what little i've read, that they may have been bred in germany, but I cannot find out very much on them.
I am interested in finding out whatever I can on this species..
thanks
david

very cool axle!
I would definately grow them up and breed them back to one of the parents and if you have others try another normal colored that is not related to see what you get..
could be one of the parents has albinistic genes...
good luck
cheers
david

how big are they?
how old are they?

that being said, I would consider going to zebrapleco.com there is a thread on that site for sexing your fish, but......
they are going to want to know how old & long they are......
good luck
david

Thera A, as soon as they go in the tank the fish become active! wonder if it's the garlic? kens sticks (shrimp, earthworm... Note: gotta be careful with the earthworm... boy can they pollute a tank quick) I also feed blackworms.... I know some think they can get parasites from them, but I maintain i...

I bought some from the catfish convention year before last, but for the life of me I cannot remember who I got them from.
Maybe someone else will remember.
Only have 4 or I would offer to sell some....
sorry..

Feed what? What temp? What size tank? Define do water changes? More info please . They take a couple of years to get to a mature enough size to spawn. If that sounds on track, then yes, they are slow growing . I feed Live: Blackworms, Whiteworms, grindal worms, frozen: b/s, bloodworms, prepared: Th...

I have had 333's, 134's, 66's and a few other varieties, and I am wondering if they tend to be slower growers.. Or can anyone reccomend tips for getting these little buggers to grow... I do decent water changes pretty regularily, feed a mixture of live and prepared foods, but they seem to be pretty ...

what brand is it? how old? how much do you want for it?

Interesting thread, seeing as how I've been on the hunt for blacks... The group I acquired today are definately blacks, much like the photo one of you posted half way through this thread.. As soon as I get them established, I will post some pics. they are varied in size, I will say though, that it i...

Mats: I made a deal today with the owner of the store.... apparently, the supplier (a local hobyist, who is a bit weird?? :-?? ) took all the fish back this wknd,,, came into the store, and wanted all the fish back (she sold him about 50 fish originally) Didn't like the fact the guy was making money...
