Re: Mystus gulio info
Not that I can recall.
Was this gulio from the wild and untreated when it came to you? If so, have you treated it at least against external parasites? What you are describing could be some mobile parasite, a mouth / gill dweller, or maybe argus aka fish lice?

Re: Electric catfish are protected from electrical shock
Riveting article! I had no idea so little is known on the topic. Thank you. Now I know a first fish on which electrofishing would not work.

Re: Ompok catfish infection?
Medicating should be considered only after all other troubleshooting comes up empty, first and foremost the water quality tests. I understand the timing argument, it is suspicious, but it doesn't eliminate the need for basic troubleshooting.

Re: Things are not all bad
Pleasure to read and to know. Thank you much for sharing!
I can't say I share your taste in music but I find it classy and interesting to learn what's out there and what our peers like. Thank you.

Heart-warming. Thank you, Shane. A photo of the motley crew party would finish off the cake.

Re: What's agamous?
Collins dictionary I linked above says: (ˈægəməs ) stresses the first sound. No "mouse" but more like "mess" haha... Now mind you this is all about the asexual reproduction. It is not a given, I imagine, that it is pronounced the same when used in the "no long term pairing&q...

Re: What's agamous?
Thank you much all.
Yeah, I am pretty sure Silurus's right. Not only he almost always is (for which we love him) but it makes more sense too in this case as asexual reproduction has nothing to do with tilapia in nature anyway.
ENGLISH LESSON: Agamous = unfaithful in reproductive sense.

Re: Mystus gulio info
I've kept a few Mystus long time ago, I think mysteticus or bimaculatus or some such. Not gulio. I don't recall them giving me any problems in a heavily scaped and populated tank with very diverse tank mates, most of them smaller to medium catfish. Almost any catfish, including Mystus, would prey on...

Re: What's agamous?
Thank you all. I understand the monogamy, polygamy, and agamy angle. However, FishBase seems to keep talking about the cellular reproductive biology, not "fish morals" if I may :) I tend to think Silurus is right but then the FishBase use of the word is confusing at least... Agamous seems ...

What's agamous?
For instance the tilapia are agamous, I read. Then I look up the definition. FishBase: "(English) Not involving the fusion of male and female gametes in reproduction." Then a few more definitions... Gamete is a mature haploid (having half) male or female germ cell (sperm or egg) which is a...

Re: What's the harm with posting speaker's presentations online?
Thank you guys. You have been great. Much new for me and much to chew on and mull. Makes me wonder if our points of view are the two extremes and some middle ground is best for the advance, popularization, and the enjoyment of sharing our hobby. Or maybe / rather this is already occurring anyway, th...

Re: What's the harm with posting speaker's presentations online?
Don't mean to stir the pot but to further my understanding. Thank you all for describing the scene for me. I was clueless. I thought since this was all for the hobby, awareness, and friend-to-friend, peer-to-peer, and master-to-newbie help and mutual growth and not for profit and fame, it didn't mat...

Re: Jeremy Basch speaks on woodcats Saturday Dec 5 6pm PST (ONLINE)
I wonder what might be the reason for taking down and keeping this or any such videos private? So Jeremy's presentation is not plagiarized?
