Re: Synodontis granulosus fry purchase

I was at discuss madness in NJ yesterday and they have a lot of f1granulosus fry. I was asking them about the fry since most are rumored to be hybrids. According to them they have the only true source of pure bred granulosus in the country. thought worth sharing if you want to look further into it.

Re: dwarf electric catfish malapterus microstoma

lots of personality to him. Always comes to me when I enter the fish room and follows me as much as he can. Fun to hand feed.
I consider him one of the more intelligent fish I own (such as fahaka, rays, giant gourami that have own/owned) which counts for a lot.

Bagarius bagarius And bagarius suchus Question

is bagarius bagarius a true giant or dwarf? I have read very conflicting info on what I consider
Typically credible websites.

Also what are people's experiences keeping either in a warmer tank (75-83)? Thanks

Re: WTB bolt cats

thanks for the reply. Think Ichiban is out of the game for now.
Great list. I have dealt with most of them. Unfortunately none of them have the fish. I never heard back form Ted but I also think he stopped importing fish as well and now just breeds.

cat ID

I got these two "bumble bee cats" from a friend. All he could tell me is that they are south american bumble bees and might be venomous. http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm280/mcharney1/15077F77-6C00-4A62-9403-83C037500D97_zps6znmntsp.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm280/mcharney...

Re: Catfish suggestions??

Zebrina are fairly docile for a pike and will have dithers. Will keep my eye out for some others that I like. If it doesn't work will just have to go bigger!

Re: Catfish suggestions??

thank your for the suggestions. I will look into them. I was actually thinking hoplo myself. In general most cichlids are good parents. Though Crenichichla are excellent parents and will protect their fry for about a year.

Re: Feeding Electric catfish

It should be Malapterurus microstoma . I guess if he doesn't grow any more the importer was right.

Feeding Electric catfish

HI I have a 22 inch electric catfish that I am feeding daily. Should I be feeding him this frequently or would I be better with one or two meals a week?

Thank you

Re: Ageneiosus marmoratus hammerhead catfish

Re: Lince catfish

what about Mark from Discus Origin. He is a great guy to work with. I have no clue where in Florida he is though
Also maybe imperial tropicals. they are a farm but they import. They are probably the biggest importer of hypostomus luteus
