Hi Again been a while since my last post my lucipinnis are growing fast and look stunning now but thats not my question for you all! I have a bulldog plec in my tanganyikan community tank and before you all jump on my back he's been in for a while now and is doing great i feed him sinking wafer ...

its and old picture pal theres algae every where now i've been putting in wafer tablets as well

To be honest so far he's doing a great job of the algae in one night i can't believe how much he's cleared up :d. Yeah i've got shell dwellers in but i've positioned the rock in such away he's pretty far away from all his shells and he doesn't seem to bother with the plec at all, the only concern ...

Hi Folks i bought some cyps for my tank off a guy i got talking to online today! Also when i was there he had a bulldog plec in with his tangs as he was getting rid of his set up i asked if he would sell it me! So off i went back home with 5 cyps and 1 bulldog plec for my tang tank. So far he seems ...

you'll never believe it i called in the lfs where i bought my synodontis hybrids from which i believed to be multipunctata, and they are now labeled as petricola! how wrong is this!

just bought some prisicilla tetras so the temp is about 27 at the minute so yeah suppose it wouldn't be a problem

been reading up on panda corys and decided they wouldn't go with the other fish as they require a lowe temp so i thought why not go for the corydoras leucomelas as they prefer a high temp also might go for rummynose tetras with them as well what you think?

i was thinking panda corys really like the colouration of them plus there 9-11quid can't remember how much for 3 at my local LFS i'll get 6 then if thats the case! put in a sand substrat and some rainbow rocks and false plants would they benefit from any wood etc

i've just bought my son a superfish aqua 60 aquarium the tank sizes are as follows 470x330x330(to maximum water level). I know how you all take fish keeping seriously and wanted to make sure i would be doing the right thing by researching the fish my son wanted and making sure there compatable for ...

I agree completely with you as the same dealers had sold red frontosa's to aqua home which are also hybrids.

i'll be perfectly honest with you i was completely unware and can't really blame the shop as after reading up after making this post the taxonomy was labeled wrong and is often done with ...

have to agree with you there it does look alot like this synodontis lucipinnis:

SORRY MULTIPUNCTATA OR HYBRID? or multipunctatus before i get corrected again lmao

whether or not they where hybrids and he insisted they were not and that they where just juveniles. .
Baby/juvie multis still have a black dorsal spine.



least then we can come to some sort of conclusion.

There is a conclusion & that they are NOT multis. They are either hybrids (which i ...

i called in aqua home today and he's just got some more syno's multipunctatus but twice the size i's say about 3 inch and they look exactly the same but he's priced them at £12, i questioned him about the syno's (not being shy and all) and his reply was he priced them differently because of there ...

what are the disadvantages of a hybrid other than it may of been interbred or bred with a different secies of catfish? other than me paying 5quid for each one!

so what your saying is i've been had .

never the less all four of them are beautiful catfish and when i bought them they were labeled up as synodontis multipunctata.

i'll try get some more picks up but they are still juveniles so does that make any difference?

heres a pic of one of my syno's took me a while enjoy!

sorry lol i mean the leptosoma weren't cheap i got mine for £18.90 but should of paid double that as the woman at daves aquarium only put it through once so i got 4 fish for the price of 2 they were f1 english bred mind not wild, i've seen leptosoma's for £20 each in aqua home where i got my syno's ...

they seem to hide anywhere they can and i've caught them even hiding in my shells which i thought was bizarre. they seem to be finding new places in my present rock work all the time as i hardly ever see them and struggle finding where there hiding, when they come out there beautiful fish to look at ...

looks like i'm going to have to buy some more slate then oh well thanks for the info guys
