Some Brits, Welsh and Irish folks would be appreciated too, if you've got the social capital.

Cheers, Eric

I have never seen that before. Are you sure it's a parasite and not a tumor or other growth?

Tank size should allow good growth. Maybe add different foods?

Cheers, Eric

How big is its tank? What are you feeding it? How often do you feed it?

Cheers, Eric

:YMPARTY: After a long wait, today I was delighted to find fresh eggs! Follow-up: The eggs laid in early July were eaten or kicked out by dad after about 9 days (Dang, they were almost ready to hatch!). Then a day later, dad was back on a new clutch of eggs! On July 24, the day before I went to Per...

Yes. All true.

Cheers, Eric

Thank you Eric! Not so much a noodling victim but slip and fall. Could happen to anyone regardless of the way a catfish is procured. To me rings of the proverbial running with scissors. Don't run with catfish ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, haha... You're welcome Viktor. To clarify, the kid h...

Not sure, give a day or two to check? I’m guessing you didn’t find any. :-) Jools No I hadn't. This goes back to 1998 the fish picture below were reportedly from Rio Nanay. It could well be a mistake. The fishes in that picture are a carbon copy of the one's from @TedsFishRoom. I would think it is ...

Hi MissNoodle, Their appearance is consistent with common BNs ( Ancistrus cf_cirrhosus ), but there are similar brown bristlenoses too. If your fish are captive bred, they are most likely common BNs. If they are wild caught, it's a bit of a crap shoot in my opinion, unless you have some collecting l...

Don't be jealous. Do it yourself. It's easier than it looks (at least to do it in baby steps like I do). Ask me how later, when I'm back in the states.

Cheers, Eric

Wow, Karsten, you caught some great banjos!

Cheers, Eric

Hi, to me it looks rather like a hybrid (likely with R. lanceolata , possibly also other species), this species is quite commonly crossed with the red whiptails as the females of R. lanceolata lay significantly more eggs, juveniles are very often nevertheless quite red but darken with age. Hi Karst...
