Still buggy Jools

Hello, I currently have a 325l aquarium with Xingu River habitat. My riversetup is made up by two powerheads each pushing out 3000l/h each, in total 6000l/h. I also have 1x Eheim W/D filter 1100l/h and a smaller 600l/h Eheim filter. In this aquarium i have Scobiancistrus Aureatus and Baryancistrus L...

Does anyone know if there is some way to get to Xingu for fish collection?
A guided tour or anything like that?

Best Regards

Thanks alot for all replies!

What a beautiful tank. I also plan to build a similar tank, maybe a Xingu Biotop.
This is truly a good inspiration ElTofi

Im looking for L numbers

Best regards Thomas

That was EXTREMLY interesting Racoll. I will post more picture of my fishes. Would be interesting to do some research on this, to find some similatiry with others. Water parameters, Food, Conditions they live under (meaning substrat, color of decoration etc etc). Anyway its very remarkable to see th...

CIMG2230.JPG Here is a picture of one of the Baryancistrus. This one, as you see, are also starting to get pale. The other one i talked about is pale all over except the eye and a little spot on his forehead. Looks like a third of my 5 baryancistrus is also getting pale. Strange since my L-190 and ...

I know they are, they are about 10cm. And have around 20+ hiding places, lots of stones.
The 325liter is a Xingu Biotop with extremly heavy current and alot of stones to hide under, with sand substrate.

Yes they do, except the pale one. Looks more and more like he gets bullied.

Checked the water values. They seem all fine. Abit strange, cause it seems in perfect condition.
I keep 5x L-014, 5x L-081, 1x L-190 and 1x L-200 in a 325 liter. I change about 10% of the water every day. So the nitrit level are on 0 and nitrat is quite low, maybe around 20-30, to high??

Hello, About a week ago one of my 5 l-081 got extremly pale, more or less white except the eye who is still black. Ive checked my water parameters and they are fine. All of them are active even the pale one. Another L-081 is also abit more pale than the others, but instead of the whole body its just...

Ive bought sera nitrivec which should remove NH4 and NH3. I also saw ich on my panaque so i bought Sera Costapur. The L-018 was yesterday totaly weak i could touch him without reacting. Today he is abit more activ but his eyes are very sunken and so is his belly. I hope he will start eat when the NH...

They are close to 0. But they was maybe higher before the water change.

So could they be poisoned. and what should i do then?

Need some help here quick :S My pH are 6.2-3

As i said in my other post both my Panaque L-190 and Baryancistrus L-018 are swimming very high and they like to stay together. Today i woke up and my L-018 seems extremly confused and slow. He used to be very shy, but today i could touch him and he dident do anything. btw: dosent seems like he is e...

looks like Thomsoni. Am i right?

Anyway i know changed 50% of the water. I hope it will help. Since both are swimming high i dont think they have symptom of Ich. Im sure the 50% water refill i know did will help, i hope :). Got enough plants, 2 power heads on totaly 2000l/hr and 1 cansister filter outside.. But i started the aquari...

Yeah, i was thinking about that to. But no. the nitrit and nitrat is low

My Panaque L-190 and Baryancistrus L-18 are swimming close to the water surface.. I have alot of oxygen. What can be wrong?

Well it seems like they like it

Yeah my pump blows out 1100l/hr .. Its placed on the right side of aquarium and blows out a very strong water stream towards the other side of the aquarium.. the panaque is lagging with its tail so strong is the water stream.. btw it was 1100L/hr not 1200 :) The Baryancistrus lives in very streamy w...

Hey got a 112liter aquarium with a pump spraying out 112l/h.. Do my baryancistrus L-18 and Panaque L-190 enjoy this? or is it to much?

Thomas

Yeah knew it

Some call it Pseudoacanthicus other Pseudacanthicus and Pseudocanthicus. What is the real name? I will say the name is Pseudacanthicus. Does someone agree with me?

Best regards. Thomas Wiborg

Shane are your job to work with catfish?
I want to get a job were i can work with loricariidae. Is that possible?

BR: Thomas Wiborg

Yeah I see.

BR: Thomas Wiborg

Can this be the differense beetwen a Panaque suttonorum and a Panaque cochliodon. As you can see on this picture http://www.scotcat.com/images/suttonorum3.jpg the panaque suttonorum has a more square type of body than the Panaque cochliodon have http://www.transfish.de/Loricariidae/Panaquecochliodon...

Well I think I beter buy a ticket to Peru instead

Thank you for the good information Shane.

Well as you know this loricariidae can grow big and can be very aggressive to other pseudacanthicus. I have heard that L-025 and L-160 (Pseudacanthicus spinosus) Is the most aggressive loricariidae's you can get. So i hope you dont have to many of them in a small aquarium. This loricariidae is also ...
