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"?

Yes, my definition of a 'superbug' is a microorganism that has mutated enough to resist our basic medications, or some other microorganism that we haven't even heard about yet.

What Viktor said.

Viktor, I don't mean to alarm you, but here on the west coast, Pets Mart fish are known for having "superbugs". If I ever just have to buy a fish from that store chain, I double quarantine them. I don't know the quality of the 'Pets Mart' fish on the east coast (could be better?), but I ho...

At 3:59 of your second Hemiodus sp. video (with the "kill first 3 of their kind" in the tag line), there is one specimen with a single dot on the side. I know Hemiodus gracilis can be variable, but it may be that you have another species in this one? According to Baensch & Riehl that f...

Good question. I've never raised Arowana so can't help you there. It could be the way they were raised, genetics of the parents, balance of the number of males, or females, or males and females, personality of one fish, or the personalities of some, or the combination of fishes. One thing is clear t...

Yes, my sentiments as well. Better safe than sorry. Thanks Kirin!

Anyone have experience with the effects of burning incense in the same room with an aquarium?

I'm thinking it can't be good.

Do you have room to spread them out, maybe in groups of 2, 3 or 4? Might be better than watching them thin themselves out?

I've grown Crinum thianum with Ancistrus sp. along with cats from other Families and never had a problem. But can't speak to your L200's or L204's. I would imagine since your L204 likes to eat wood, it might have a go at your Crinum. my 2¢

Thanks for the details. What size tank do you have them in and what type of filtration? Do you do anything special with the lights aside from the standard 10-12 hour lighting period?

Wow, that is good new Phoenix.L! Can you talk a little more about your tank layout and parameters? I have one S. contractus and am looking for more also. It's hard to find them out here on the west coast also. But once I get them I hope to spawn them as well.

1) I would isolate her from the male just as a precaution. Nothing is off the menu with crayfish in my experience 2) I would only feed on occasion. Not make it a 'main-stay' in the diet. Then I think, your main thiaminase-rich diet will make up for this. Depending on the size you grow them out too, ...

Victor, just fyi, the male crayfish can be id'ed by a pair of modified swimmerets that act as a kind of 'gonopodium' right at the juncture of the thorax and the abdomen. Similar with the female: at the juncture of the thorax and the abdomen she has an indentation indicating the reproductive canal. I...

Congrats on the import and spawn. Cool fish.

Sure, I'll give it a go.

Thanks Jools. I like what you said here: You could do (1) go to my wishlist (2) type species in quick find and (3) add species to a wishlist if that helps how your thought process works? I don't mind bending my thought process to use the site. But that said, sometimes its not so much about how effic...

For me sometimes, i see or read about a fish I decide I want, in my little brain I automatically think 'wishlist', I go on Planetcatfish and go to "My Wishlist" There would be an "Add to" button just like the "remove from" button. I click in it and it takes me to a 'sub...

Thanks Eric, appreciate the help. And what would be more user friendly in my opinion, in addition to the CLOG 'path', would be an "add" feature on the "My Wishlist" page.
