Well, well, look what the cats dragged in... :) Good to know, Rob. Thank you. You gotta update your jau thread(s). It's all here bro https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/jau-catfish-zungaro-zungaro-at-fish-story-aquarium-and-rescue.700299/#post-7892504 Ours are notably over 3 feet now. ...

I'd presume the crudest is the strip, don't they usually even show a range and not a precise temp? But I also never used them. I use "Laguna" glass + red alcohol floating thermometers sold for ponds and I place them in my sumps. When I bought around 6-8 of them, they all showed in my test our room t...

My first thought is this would be very interesting and useful to see. IDK about the charge, I'd do it free of charge, in the spirit of the PCF and our the best promotion of our hobby but it's your child. If you get too few orders, you may realize you need to make it free. If you get millions of orde...

Man! The joys of maintaining large tanks never end... Sorry to hear this, mate! This is one of the reasons I tend to rate concrete tanks below plastic or fiberglass or even rubber-liner ones... unless it is an inground pool kind where small leaks may not matter much... In theory, I'd have sandwiched...

Hi neighbor! Having looked through the Cat-eLog photos https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=350 I'd superficially agree with the ID of schoutedeni. A couple things that concern me are the clearly different marking pattern on the head versus body and the rather blunt head or sh...

This is obviously L. pictus with its telltale saddle mark and different head shape and markings, not marmoratus: https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/im ... ge_id=1603

What about the other eye?

I'd troubleshoot the tank. You know the usual list of things to check. If all checks out fine, I'd just observe. If new fish were introduced into the tank, that's a suspect cause too.

Cool pics. Thanks. If I didn't know it was a hybrid, I'd say that is a sharp looking fish for sure. I mean it is a cool looking fish but its origin takes out a lot for me.

I've not known either until I watched Rachel O'Leary's video:

I love them. Got 27 myself. Agree with Bas, perhaps with an unimportant addition that they are a shoaling species as school means a tight formation and unisone movement. Shoal is a more loose association with each other. You have lucked out in that they haven't turned reclusive or even territorial (...

IDK if you asking me or Lee, Jools, but Yellowcat has been the one always keen on getting new and unknown Pseudopims and especially the more manageable Batrochoglanis.

If memory serves, he raised a few of these that he couldn't ID to the species then known and described.

@Yellowcat

I think you are right. We have only seen mucosus in the trade. Anyway, I for one have never seen a malarmo.

It's either a wyckioides or wyckii. They are hard to tell at this sizes. One has to look at the maxillary barbel length, dorsal spine serrations, dorsal base length, and adipose fin shape and size but all of these comparisons are hard in a small fish.

I think adult of hybrid #5
