Re: Prazipro in synodontis nigriventris

I would say to start slowly adding some prazipro little at a time and then slowly build up the dosage to the recommended amount and your syno should be find because you are building up the dosage gradually and not adding a new substance in a decent amount all at once. the syno will most likely be ju...

Re: Help! Does anyone know what this is?

is the white spot on the eye still there or not because if it isn't then it may of been caused by the corydora's response to the parasites or something in the water caused by the parasites.

The first picture of the male is really well captured and both the male and female seem to be well groomed.

Re: Tips on how to separate fries

By the way the plural form of the word fry (as in the young fish) is fry, not fries.

Re: Albino Bristlenose and Lemon Blue eye Bn in same tank?

Any BN pleco that is mature can breed with a different species of BNs if present in their surrounding environment.

Re: Newbie here - Catfish Walmart Rescue

Synodontis come from Africa and prefer a higher ph than your angels do. I have never herd of synodontis living with south american fish in an aquarium before. What is the ph, because if the ph is lower than 7.3 then the synos wont do so well. Same for your angels if the ph is above 7.7 then the ange...

Re: HELP!!

IT looks like to me that you have either a Synodontis Eupterus or a hybrid of it and something else.

Re: breeding conditions for Elegans Corys

You should take a look at the elegans corys and determine if they have two main different types of patterns on their bodies because females have black along the side of the body while males have a sort of speckled stripe down the back. Elegans are one of very few species of corys where males and fem...

Re: help me sex this Bristlenose please

It is definitively a male because of its bristles. Also if you look behind the eyes you will see a reddish area and that is the heart of the bn pleco. males will show the heart behind the eyes while any females will not have a noticeable reddish area at all.

Re: any way to sex 1 inch Bristlenose ?

With albinos i know that the males have a noticeable reddish area behind the eyes which is their heart and females don't show any signs of that reddish area at all. With smaller BN plecos this is not a definitive way to sex them though. Super reds and common BNs don't visibly have the reddish area b...
