I have not used API conditioner myself. I do use "Prime" neutralizer, mainly for the chloramine. My cats are sensitive, and they've taught me over the years how much (more or less) I need to add. I don't measure since I've been doing it for so long. I would think you'd be safe with putting...

Hah! believe me, you are not alone, they trick me all the time! But seriously, this fish is a schooling species in my opinion. They just need a lot of space to get away from each other when they need to, and as they get older. An S. eupterus at 4.5 inches, I would guess is about 3-4yo. or older, dep...

If you're getting positive results with the water conditioner, that's a good thing. But I would be cautious about adding more chemicals to your tank. It is so easy to try to 'fix stuff' with chemicals when we know so little about fish physiology. From what I see on your videos, it looks like your 'b...

Not a problem, I'm in no hurry. Just let me know.

Not to jump this thread, but Eric, when will you have more to sell? Maybe PM me?

Have you checked your 'furniture' (ie. driftwood, ornaments) thoroughly? Syno's can lock themselves into small cavities and not let go for periods of time (or at least until they can't breath). Take the furniture out of the tank and set it on a towel. Wait a few minutes, it might just fall out of th...

Maybe you've got a consolidated pair of the Vieja hybrids? Looks like the smaller female (black throat) is defending on the opposite side of furniture. Doesn't look like they have figured out how to defend against those loaches though.

Hey Viktor, can you please check for my PM to you?

Once in a lifetime, nice!

Maybe some furniture to hide under? may give them more comfort and confidence?

Sounds pretty typical of Agamyxis sp. I kept a couple for awhile: very photophobic, mine would burrowers underneath stuff.

Thought I'm not convinced,I can see your point pingpong, regarding Syno. vellifer. My fish is about 4.5 inches Total Length. How about yours?

Hi edds, I've never kept S grandiops or multipunctatus, but I have kept lucipinnis. I do think you have a group of S. multipunctatus based on your pics; or at least a mixture of multipunctatus/grandiops, but don't quote me, I could be wrong. S lucipinnis tops out at smaller size than either of the o...

Yep Synodontis hybrid, very similar to my Syno. hybrid.

Hello crpr, Since they are possibly hybrids, no one knows just how big they will grow to. If I were you, I would move them into about a 40 gallon/150L tank, just to be on the safe side. If they grow to 6inches/150mm I would get them into a larger tank. I would be careful about adding plecos, as they...

Yeomans work. Glad you were able to put it back together. Congrates!

Thanks for sharing this info Eric.

So happy he is still alive. You know Viktor, maybe it's not the swim bladder that is the problem. Maybe it started doing it because of the eye? I've had fish with missing eyes, some are ok with it, some are not ok with it. Some die from it. What if its trying to keep the eye out of the water because...

Maybe its not ich? As you know there are a number of things that look like ich. And I've never heard of ich happening that fast !

No, because water temp has never been an important parameter in my field work. But I’d estimate it to be about 23–25 degrees Celsius.

Thanks Silurus.

Hi Silurus, did you take/remember the temps?

Well, I can tell you that they do best in a fairly 'quiet, backwater' type setups (no big aggressive eaters, larger territorial fish, etc.) They are small and relatively slow to the food. Micropredators, preferring live or frozen, but will eat pellets. No big current. Because of their small size and...

So far working great. Thanks guys.

Yup thats it.

Hi guys, I can't seem to go directly to a family through the Cat-elog. Under Cat-elog, I click on families, the sub-bubble list of families loads, I go to click on the family I want and I get 6 - 8 lines of jargon. All starting with "php bbs.........". But I can back into the family by cli...

Can't see your images. Can you present them in another form?

And make sure your floor joist are such that it can handle the weight (load bearing range). I don't know what its like in Scotland but here in the US attic flooring can have a low "load bearing range".

Thanks guys, once I realized I needed to start with a CLOG add, its working out. But here's another problem: I noticed the hybrid Syno I post about in January www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=335804#p335804 is unlike any of the hybrids in the families list. I want to add it to my "My...

Thanks Eric, but I don't get that layout. Mine says "go add some"?

And how would I add fish to "My Fish List"? I don't see a path.

Okay, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I give up. How do I add multiple species to one aquarium in "My Aquaria"?
