Good luck and keep us posted! I feed them xtreme scraper wafers. Yes I was surprised to see them devour the zucchini I do have a rhino pleco in the tank and maybe they picked up the idea from that fish. I am using the xtreme wafers so I'm glad to hear someone else has had success with them. I will ...

I found someone who had a group of L25 for sale. Of the 9 fish I got 8 made it through with no issues, one was lost a few days later. My groups are split by size 4" fish in one tank, 5+ inch fish in the other. I currently have them split into two groups of 4 fish. One tank is 8.5 feet long and ...

The awards just came in, will your fish be a champion?

I have one that can run at least that many tanks and I'm in Florida

Okay folks, first let me say thanks to all those who ordered over the past two months. I'm overloaded with orders and it looks like I'll be cutting rocks until mid January. Just to be fair to me and you I've decided not take any new orders until February 1 of 2013. If anyone is thinking about orderi...

Most of the time I look like me, until someone says I look like someone or something else.

I just saw this thread and I can say if your tank is that much trouble sell it now. You can't fix a tank from the outside just like Viktor said the forces are too great. I repair tanks all the time, and the proper way is to drain them and do it from the inside. Also if one seal leaks the whole tank ...

Hello everyone, I'm proud to announce the Florida "Aquarium FIsh" Expo for June of 2013 in Fort Myers, Florida. Our list of activities include vendors, over a dozen speakers, a judged fish show with cash awards, a visit to snookin21's fish house, and much more. The fish show will include c...

No specials for the holiday other than you get this years price. Production schedule is full through mid January and the price will increase to a flat rate of $10 per cave on January 1st. Anyone who orders now can still get them at 3 caves for $20.

Viktor, I just got all caught up with your project and I see it has it's ups and downs. I'll offer a few tips that I learned the hard way. I've been down a road like this when I finished building my house after 2 builders went bankrupt trying to build it for me. I found the couty to be very helpful ...

Just an update for the end of 2012 there will be no caves with openings deeper than 6 inches. My supply yard is out of larger stones until January. I can do caves with openings up to six inches deep, width upto 3 inches, height up to 2.5 inches until the new orders of stone come in. Remember to orde...

I used to live in New Jersey and love this store, it would be too bad if the new owners aren't keeping up the old standards. I know a bunch of people in the area and I'll get the info from people who know the store and it's current conditions.

got it thanks.

Just an FYI to others right now I'm backed up till May with orders. Seems all the plecos need new homes at the same time ,lol.

I never had this species but I could make just about any size you might need.

Well this little brute is the devil in disguise!! :-O The two of us are having a battle at present....everyday I put all the tank furnishings back in place, heater back on the side of the tank, Re-attach the Internal filter.........and everyday she (must be a women) destroys by best efforts. I can ...

Brackish water start around 0.5ppt (ppt = parts per thousand) or 500 ppm. However, I think this is SALINITY, rather than "TDS", so you need to understand how much of your TDS is sodium chloride salt and how much is "other stuff", such as Calcium & Magnesium salts. -- Mats I ...

... Mine became such a problem in my display tank I had to separate it out. It eventually went into my 300 gallon pond ... What kind of water was in your display tank and in your pond, Joe? I don't recall seeing marine tanks at your place. As for the ponds, natural ones around here are low-end brac...

Keeping a single fish could have been a major part of my issue, along with other factors. As for the hunting/eating other than cutting it open I couldn't be 100% sure, but when my 15 neon tetras went to 4 over night that fish was pretty swollen with something in it's stomach. The next day the last 4...

It's about 7.5 inches/20cm and was the largest of six that I could choose from. Luckily I know the person has had them for a few months so after a 3 hour water exchange acclimation I was able to release it into my 240 gallon display tank. I've already noticed that this cat seems to use it's pelvic f...

Thanks Marc,
I had my hopes up that it would be the larger species but still a great addition to my collection.

There is a person Unungy Imports that gets them but they run about $800 per fish for the 4-6 inch. Way too much for my small pockets. We can only hope that since they are off the banned list they will return at more affordable prices.

I just picked this fish up and I need help with the id. I know it's in the ageneiosus family, maybe ageneiosus_polystictus http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h473/Joe_Verdino/Catfish/Ageneiosusbrevifilis3.jpg http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h473/Joe_Verdino/Catfish/Ageneiosusbrevifilis2.jpg htt...

well if you guys would look in the "For Sale: USA & Canada" section you would see someone has some for sale http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=34970 "L25 $130" Well, maybe one of us had already contacted this person who does not have them in his poss...

Rather than tell you that you don't know what you are doing, I'll just give you my experience with keeping this fish. Like most people I bought one of these fish not knowing how big they get. Luckily I have several large tanks so space wasn't an issue. What I found is once they reach about 6 inches ...

I was thinkig it would be nice to go out and see what I can find in the wild. Here in Florida getting an importers license is pretty easy, just fill out the papers and pay the fee. Knowing what I was going to bring home ahead of time would be a little tricky because it would depend on what I find. M...

With all the crazy restrictions on planes flying in the U.S. how can you get your fish home from a collection trip? Has anyone done this recently?

Viktor,
I heard that Mote Marine is looking to open a facility around here. Have you heard this or is it maybe just a rumor?
