Hi NFK,

Well mine are fully grown adults, they are actually breeding at the moment. I have a trio, think 2 males 1 female (not sure). Size like i said about 10-12cm.

So i guess these are what they are so if i do get more positive id's, it would be great. If they are L66 so be it..

My bad new fish keeper...

Hmm...now, i also have a colony of L066 but they don't look anything like these ones!!!

Damn....now i'm confused!!!!

Thanks for that Jon...

So you sure its L401....

Well guess i've been calling them the wrong catty for a while now!!!!lol

Any other's who have kept/keeping the similar hypa to the the one in my pic to concur its L401??

Cheers,
Clint

Hi there,

Just wanted to know how long before the beautiful 134's can be breed. Read lots of articles on them but none of them specifies the age at which they are breeding at. Hope you guys out there can help.

Hi people,

Just wondering if there are any suggestions out there for tank mates for these gorgeous specimen's. At the moment they are on their own but would like to put in other L no's. to promote more activity.
Only worry is the temp and waterflow in the tank. I run my temp at about 30C and the ...

Hi Watters,

Well, with the Synodontis i feed them frozen Hikari-Bloodworm and Brineshrimp, high protein pellets, colorbits, brineshrimp flakes.

With my Loricariidae: Frozen Hikari- Bloodworm and brineshrimp, Hikari algae tablets, high protein pellets, colorbits, brineshrimp flakes, homemade peas ...

Hi people's,

I was wondering if anyone knows or has experienced bloat in their catfish which usually leads to death. Does anyone know what definetely causes it? I had a few plecs that died with these symtoms (where their stomach was about to burst as it was so big) but could never find out what ...

Hi Tangy1,

I find these little suckers to be robust and easy to keep. I have 4 of them and all very playful and a bit territorial when it comes to feeding time. I guess as long as you have enough hiding places for it there shouldn't be much of a problem.
I feed them a variety of foods including ...

Hi guys,

I was was wondering what other type of treatment should i use to counter the velvet disease??? Looks like its affecting most of my loricarids!!!
So far i have used, normal salt and Protozin by Waterlife but doesn't look good. I have also raised the temperature to about 30 degrees C. My ...

Hi Molly,

Leucostictus (L-043) is a brown ancistrus species with small orange spots compared to the white spots on the peppermints. IMO, i also find the growth rate of the L-43's quicker than the pepps. Hope this helps.

Hi Yann,

How low is low for the ph?? Just curious.

Hi Silurus,

Sorry i haven't got a pic of it right now. The red fluff would be on top of the body towards the tail end of the fish on the left side. It swims slower that usual and when i caught it out of the show tank, didn't struggle as it usually can.

Cheers,
Clint

Hi,

Need some help on identifying a problem with my P.Albomaculatus. Just realised today that it had a bit of sunken eyes but the belly remains fullish. Later on i noticed a red spot/fluff a bit like the normal fungus but this is red in colour. I've taken the fish out and quarantined it in a 50 ...

Hi again,

I've been trying to get more information on this species but to no avail. Just wondering if anyone out there can share their experiences. Like to know such as, size, compatibility, breeding habits, etc....
TIA

Clint

Thanks for that guys.

Much appreciated.

Cheers,
Clint

Hi I was wondering what the difference between these 2 fish are? I know that L018 are considered the common gold nuggets and the L177 are called Iriri-yellow nuggets.
How do you distinguish them apart? Please help.

Cheers,
Clint

Hi Kostas,

The only experience i have with gibbi's sucking on my fish are on my beautiful discus. Only when they grow a bit larger say around 15cm do they suck on my discus's skin as there are lots of mucous found there. By then i tend to take them out and replace them with smaller ones. Reason i ...

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Waiting in anticipation.

Cheers,
Clint

Hi again guys,

I'm not sure whether this is the right section to ask but if its not please move it to the appropriate section.
Does anyone know more about the fish besides the norm? I've searched the web but could not find much on them. If anyone has this fish, please care to share your ...

Thanks very much guys. It does look like a L-204.

Cheers,
Clint

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can help me out here. Looked thru all the L numbers in planet catfish but still unsure of which type of catfish this is. The only one close to it was a L-074 (Ringlet tiger pleco), still could be wrong. Please help. Pictures are below:
