Thanks Barbie,
I may just do that. I have another few females I could put with him as well. Just trying to save some tank space. I went down to 35 from 55 now.

Angelicus can get a lot bigger then the claimed 8"s one sees in most books. I have a tank that is 72"x20"x22" that has 5 angelicus in it. The biggest and oldest is one that is not quite 13"s long and was bought in 1988 as a four incher. Then there is a second one that is jus...

I have just put two possible pairs of albino BN plecos into a 90 gallon tank. The two that I suspect are males have been fighting for about 30 minuts now. The tank is filled with driftwood, about 10 pieces with one piece being huge. Will they settle down and adopt seperate houses or will they contin...

It's not a pleco but I have a Synodontis angelicus that is over 16 years olad and counting. It was about 4 inches when I got it and it is about 13 now. I have also had an albino cory that lived for 9 years after I got it and it was a breeding adult when I recieved it. They are both catfish, so it ma...

A method I have never seen anybody else talk about but works great for me when I feed zuccinin is to use those heater clamps. They are about 3 inches long with two suction cups and two clamps for holding on to a heater. They hold a zuccini half perfectly. By the time it comes out of the holder there...

STINGRAY, the largest has been in my possesion since 1988, next one since 94, next two since 98 and smallest one since 2000. Maybe there food has something to do with their colour? They are fed trout chow as a base with a variety of other frozen, live and flake foods. I have never seen any others th...

Sorry to disappoint you oneoddfish but I am a male. The name is an old one from when I had a CB. Thank you for the praise on the fish. I have had fish non stop for the last 20 years and on and off for 6 before that. I married a very understanding lady, she puts up with my fish and even goes to aucti...

Dinyar, I understand your skeptisism, never would have believed it myself but the tape does not lie. Here are some pictures for you to look at: http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/tippmann_dad/lst?.dir=/My+Fish&.view=t There are a few of the synos in there. That tank is 72x20x22 that they are in to give ...

I used to have a breeding pair of H. thoracatums. One day while going through the room feeding all the fish worms, I came to their tank. Now lets set this up right. In my left hand I am carrying a tub full of worms, with my right I am picking them up and feeding the tanks. When I came to this tank m...

Dinyar, thanks for your reply. I am not 100% sure on the sexes but am fairly confident that I have two females and three males. I have not been willing to stress them and pull them out to try and vent them. I have no experience in this area and would prefer not to try it. I see where I should but st...

While I do not know about 55cm(22") I can say for a fact that they can get more then 25cm(10"). The reason I say this is I have five of them, 3 are all around 8"(20cm), one is 12"(30cm) and the other is just over 13"(32.5cm). The 13" fish has been with me since 1988 and...

I have been trying to breed S angelicus for a few years now with out success. I have spocken to some very knowledgeable people about this but still no success. I have tried high and low temps, long and short photoperiods, lots of food very little food, tons of water changes no water changes and a ho...

Just a few of the things I feed that are not in the above posts, pumpkin, spaghettl squash, cooked rice, and frozen mysis shrimp.

Thanks BIGblue. I tried comparing them to all the photos in the cat-e-loque with no matches. I will keep looking but was hopeing someone here might have a better idea.

Anybody? No guess's at all?

I have two types of whiptails I can not identify. Hopefully you folks here can help me out. There are two photos labeled type 1 and 4 labeled type 2. The one labeled type 1 breeds all the time but I have been unable to raise any of the fry. The ones labeled as type 2 are a group of 4 I picked up as ...

I have 5 large S. angelicus in a tank that is 72X20X20 inches. They squabbled a bit when they were introduced and when new ones are introduced. I treat them like cichlids in this regard. Re-arrange everything before. My cats range form 8 to 13 inches and 5 to 15 years old. Any of you folks have any ...
