Its been so long since I logged in D:. I have been kinda busy-tests and preparations and stuff. Anyway, I am gonna restock my tank, the otos aren't doing a good job on algae. Still loads of the stuff left. So, what would be a good idea for stock? The shrimplet survival is low do to competition with ...

Thanks for the input. I have reduced feeding and did a 25% WC, and the cories reemerged! Though it was a cool water change, they do not show much spawning behaviour.

I didnt understand half the stuff that was said, but the reason I asked, is because I've been seeing less of my pygmies after i addded the otos. It is good to see that my tank stock isnt overstocked, but I thought it was beacause the tank was over stocked-apparently not-so why?

guys I think I need you guys to help me deciede on one important thing-what is a thumbrule to perfect stocking??? I have heard it many ways; 1. inch per gallon(us) 2. inch and a half per gallon(us) 3. 1 small fish per gallon 4. 1cm for 1 cubic cm 5. just cover enough shoaling space and foraging spac...

The sixray cory is noticably dwarved Aspidoras spilotus! I never knew aspidoras were such fun and diverse genera!

My otos, sadly not niger oto, are here!

What is ur secret to ur perfect english?
My appistogramma gives me grammar lessons!!!

Thanks guys will look forward to keeping these guys soon! It said they spawned in the tanks of the shop!

Possibly Schizolecis guntheri???

Any help would be epic!!

The ID of the niger oto proved to be Schizolecis guntheri(well they say-will check Id)-supposedly less sensitive, and also stay small, maybe going get a trio or so!!! This fish havent been kept much, so its gonna be guite interesting to observe behaviour .

Welcome to Planetcatfish!!! Sadly I have phobia of dogs though!

Jobro, these planarias are about 0.6cm, and they seem to have disappeared when i increased feeding and stock-maybe due the the aquarium being more established and ready to handle organic waste, or maybe because I added more moss(thought here was a ton already-I <3 moss)?

Im sorry that i keep on changing my mind, but Im gonna keep otos-I dont think green whiptails can survive the cold shipping journey.

planning to of these guys soon. Would shipping be safe?

Jobra, yes i am talking about those-and since pygmy cories where introduced, planaria numbers have gone down. this is due to: 1. Predatation 2. Pygmy cories scaring them into hiding by foraging 3. Lack of leftovers thanks to the foraging cories. And gulgulo, im sorry to say scarlet badis will hunt s...

They are Acestridium dichromum! They come her eby shipping, and my tank is well aeriated, with PLENTY of vegetation.
Plus 1 for $15 in korean money its 15000 wons.

YES!!! GREEN WHIPTAIL IS IN STOCK!!! Would you recommend them for my tank? Planning to get 2 if so. Or maybe they are too sensitive for my skill.

So, loaches are better?

I took an interest in Korean catfishes even more recently, and decided for a project. The species that I can purchase, and isnt OVERLY big is the Liobagrus Andersoni. I have seen wild specimen while night fishing in mountain streams, and is aware of its need for HIGH oxygenation. I personally think ...

I watched Ivan Mikolji's videos and that shot on the wild P.Nigrilineatus(Royal Pleco) was pretty cool, and the footage of wild apistogramma breedig behaviour.

Oh man this spam though. Its extreme!

Thanks for the supportive comments guys! And I do hope fishkeeping does stick with me!

Hello! Welcome to the forum.

I feel rather small compared to all of your grand tanks. I only have 1 14.6 gallon, 1 6 gallon and 2 5 gallon tanks. Plus most species of non cory catfish (except like common ones) cannot be found here. But, still i have to remember Im only 13!

Been pricked by corydoras, but as others said not in the same league. And also, Ive seen some people stabbed by some nasty native catfish spines(Liobagrus.sp) while fishing! The genera Liobagrus is definitely an interesting genera-on my wish list in fact. Well it got a bit too interesting for the ma...

Thanx for the quick reply!

Ok this is from another forum, and needs Id please any comments would be

Noooo! Out of stock again-wow.

Gonna fetch a group of them today!

I never knew that was bladderwort. Wow I had tons of that stuff(the origin is mysterious) and never realised!!! My one is darker colored, but I guess its just species difference, not different type. Well, Im glad i have it and Im glad its safe with fry and small shrimplets. I used it for neon tetra ...
