Thank you very much. I've decided on the Soilent Green, I appreciate your help in deciding.

I have a question about Repashy. I'm having a hard time deciding between Super Green or Soilent Green.

The plecos in the tank include L129, L387, LDA74, and Acestridium Dichromum (green whiptail).

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I had put a nice algae-covered rock in the tank prior to receiving them, as I had read that this is the only thing that they will eat. I'm going to be setting up an algae farm outside in a bucket in the sun, but so far the fish have shown no interest in the rock but are definitely eating Repashy, I ...

Thank you. I seem to have gotten rid of the algae. I did a moderately large water change and did spot treatments on any algae that I could find, with Flourish Excel. I only treated in this way twice, both times using less than the maximum recommended amount for my size tank. The plants are doing muc...

I remembered that Flourish Excel is an algaecide at double dosage, so I just ordered some. Will this be safer for my fish and effective against green hair algae? I'm having some difficulty finding a lot of info about green hair algae in a freshwater tank, most articles that I'm finding are for salt/...

One of my tanks has developed a problem with hair algae. I don't know where it came from, but it completely infiltrated a large growth of moss (not sure on ID on the moss, but it's been doing fabulously well for a year and a half, growing from the size of a golf ball to the size of my head). There h...

I just bought some Acestridium dichromum ('green whiptail'; 'green farlowella') and they came in with plump bellies, active, seen regularly on the glass. I gave them a fist-sized rock with a good growth of algae and will be making an algae garden for them soon (rocks in a bucket in a sunny spot outd...

Thanks, I'll make sure to keep plenty of veggies in there so that they can find them easily.

Fry are out and about! I put a handful of green beans in there, hopefully they'll find them okay.

I had set up a 55 gallon tank for my angelfish to spawn without having their eggs eaten by my L137 again. I put a trio of bns in there just for the heck of it, without any expectation of them breeding since they have never done so before. Well, the bns beat the angels to it. Within days of setting u...

Shelby Watters 2 hrs · Bandon I have a couple of questions. It's just about bns, but this is a new situation for me so I hope someone will have some help for me. I have a trio of bns in a tank. Last week, I discovered that the male was on eggs. I got a picture, which I will post. I took the angels a...

Stunning is definitely the right word for this fish! I wish that they were available for sale somewhere, I would love to add some to my collection.

I heard that they were a recent addition to the list, but I can't find anything about it here or elsewhere. Does anyone know? I tried searching the forums here.

What is your favorite type of cory? I'm sort of just discovering the whole world of cories out there and am just curious what some favorites are.

Thank you! I'm leaning toward getting them both now. I just bought 12 pandas, they of course are my favorites. The more I look at the concolors the better I like them.

Which would you choose, and why? Or should I just jump and get both? They will be going into a planted 55 gallon tank with tetras and a couple of angels, well filtered, perfect parameters (0.0. <15).

Gorgeous fish. A friend of mine gave him to me. He seems happy, not hiding unduly and eating already (cooked shrimp meat). I'm so excited! Any tips would be appreciated, info out there is slim.

I read that there are no prior records of these breeding successfully. I don't know if I'm up for a huge challenge lol.

I have an L137, he's about 6 inches long. The other day I put some pleco caves in there for the bns, well the L137 has taken possession of one of them. He's in the classic stance, head inside the cave, tail out and waving it around.

Should I try to find a girlfriend for him?

I'm thinking of getting a pair or trio of L464 but can't find much about them. I read their listing in the Cat e log, and I've searched the forums here using various terms but I'm not turning up anything. If anyone knows anything about these little guys, I'd love to learn. Thank you.

Thank you very much. So it is properly called a whiptail rather than a farlowella?

I was able to get some good pics of a ventral view (that seems awkwardly worded), I was hoping that this might help, or perhaps even help to sex this fish. I only have one, I'm not trying to breed, but out of curiosity I wouldn't mind having an idea of sex. The pics ar'e nearly identical, but I didn...

Thank you. I have a 4x2x2 120, do you think that that will be sufficient for L137? I really love L47, it's one of those that I fell in love with at first sight, but I am not at all confident that I can keep it feeding happily, based on having read so many stories of failure with it. L137 is another ...

I'm considering getting an L137 blue eye red fin bruno. I'm having trouble finding information about it though. Does it eat primarily wood? Is this a species that is usually more on the shy end of things, or is it a fish that would generally be more active in the tank? Does it do well in captivity? ...

I think you got it spot on with Sturisoma aureum. The pictures are a dead ringer for my fish, and the size is spot on too. I forgot to include that in my OP, this fish is just about 7" tl, so 5.9" sl sounds about right with the caudal filaments. Are care requirements similar to those of th...

Thank you, I'm going to have a look now.

This fish was sold to me as a Royal Farlowella, and I was hoping that I might be able to get a better ID.

Thank you very much.

I have recently gotten two L264. They are settling in nicely, eating well and seem happy. I've had them for 2 or 3 weeks. They are in my community tank with mostly angels and several bns. I've been reading as much as possible about them, and have been feeding them various vegetables (zucchini, brocc...

Here they are from above, taken two or three weeks ago, on the day of their arrival at my house, I took the pics during acclimation. These pictures are in reverse order of the ones in the OP, ie the fish in the first picture in this post is the second fish pictured above, I hope that makes some sens...
