Actually, you better give them whole fish, that contains more than just the proteins the filets contains. Especially the gut of the fish is very important, as there you will find the vitamins the victim ate before, vitamins which normaly are not fouond in meat. But also the skeleton - the gulper is...

Hi friends hope everyone is well & the fish are good!

Is this black locust wood good for my l306, l397 & l204 plecos!

Wanted to start a thread on funny aquarium memes I'll go first

Hi everyone this is my giant gulper catfish eating tilapia

https://youtube.com/shorts/QyuvFn-ZjRw? ... nriL-bgtxM

I am thinking he is getting bullied at feeding since everything else is spot on!
I'm gonna move him to a fry tank & let him be the alpha again.
Thanks for mentioning he's not old. I was thinking 10-13 years old is pushing.
Anyone else have older L397 over 10 years?
Thanks for the messages friends!

Hi friends this L397 is over 10 years old. He doesn't breed anymore.
I just noticed a sunken stomach and conditions & food are stellar & abundant!
Any advice for my old timer.

That sounds so sweet.
I been raising my babies from last year in a 40 gallon seaclear uniquarium.
Might just get a couple tanklimates and add some mesh to the holes.

Thanks so much I will definitely get some of those!
Looking for a ziss style that is huge for attaching to some of my larger tanks.
The tanklimate holes are to big.

Well after soaking the wood for a few weeks I added to one of my tanks!
So far it's working great, no smell in the soak bucket either.
Soaking bamboo with that stinky water was a task!

Thanks Dana I'll check that out!

Hi Eric one of your videos showed a ziss breeder box that looked twice as large as the usual ones for sale, was that custom made?

L306 growouts

My colony of L306 were not breeding. Water was 76.
I raised water temperature to 79 & in 3 days I have 2 batches of eggs.
Anyone explain the phenomenon, I was thinking lower water temperature to trigger breeding.
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated friends!

Thanks Bas for your message. Good point from the shop the driftwood is from Brookwood River, Alabama prestine river system untreated!

Thanks Jools I have them soaking now outside.
What should I look for while there soaking? I was thinking if the water starts smelling bad and rotten.

Thanks Jools for the intel definitely will soak awhile while getting more feedback.
As of now it's not treated & from a clean River I believe brookwood.
They have been in business and have sold to other aquarium hobbyists

Anyone know what kind of driftwood this is an if my l306 & l397 can safely eat it?
Amazing store on Ebay USA.
Thanks in advance team!

I have had this colony for 5 years so many close calls !

Hi friends hope everyone is doing well & the fish are fine.
This is my setup with the moving bed filter to try out!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
