I have a 40 gallon tank that houses a 5 inch Albino African Clawed Frog. Are they compatible with plecostomus? Could the plec hurt him? He is about 7 inches long...

I have an 8 inch pim. blochii in a 55 gallon. Would he try to eat 1 inch cory catfish if I added them?

I currently have a 55 gallon tank which has a 7-8" (nose to tail) pterygoplichthys joselimaianus.

Recently I was given another 55 gallon goldfish tank that has a 4 inch pterygoplichthys joselimaianus in it. Could I put the 2 together? I'm kind of scared the bigger one might beat him up for the ...

I was wondering if anyone here has any 8" or bigger catfish pim. blochii? Or any bigger catfish tanks. I was hoping someone could post some pics of their tank, so I can get an idea of how to arrange my tank. My blochii seems to knock everything around. My catfish blochii and my pleco seem to not be ...

They both like the same area of the tank. I don't think it's over food, but I don't really know for sure. I did add a fake silk plant to the tank, that they both seem to like. It's strange.

I have a Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus and a catfish blochii. They have been housed together for about 8 years. I received them about a year and a half ago from a friend who had them from when they were babies. The past 3 weeks they seem to be fighting. I don't know why. They are starting to damage ...

My spouse likes the Sorubim Lima. Can they be mixed with cichlids?

I really like the Schilbe intermedius. It has a similar look to it. I've been thinking of getting some cichlids. The Sorubim lima is really cool too! I really love the L025 also!!! I have a pimelodus blochii named sassy. I don't know if it is female or male. Thanks for all the help!!!

What about keeping a fish like Pteropangasius pleurotaenia?

Thanks for the help!

I see people buying them in the stores all the time. I didn't know they got that big. I thought maybe 3 feet in length. I thought maybe a 500 gallon tank would be big enough. The pet store said I only needed a 200 gallon tank, but I thought I'd check here first. I'm glad I didn't jump into anything ...

I've just recently talked my husband into letting me get a 5th tank which will be from 220-500 gallons depending on what fish I get. He really likes iridescent sharks so I thought I would ask here to shed some light on the subject. One of our local pet stores sells them. They are already 2 feet long ...

My tank is 60 gallons. It houses.....
Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus(6"),
P. Blochii(8"),
a Striped Raphael Catfish(3"),
& 3 gouramis(2-2.5" each).
I'm looking for another pleco that could be compatible with my Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus. He's alittle shy, but he loves the food. I also don't ...

I have a pleco that's a pretty good size (about 6-8" nose to tail). I've read that it is better if you have one per tank, so they don't battle over the food. Has anyone ever tried having 2 or 3 different kinds of pleco's together? For example a bushy nose & a tiger together? I'm still new to catfish ...

I haven't come across exactly what kind of pleco this is. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas???

I purchased 6 gouramis, and a striped raphael catfish maybe 8 months ago. My catfish named sassy (blochii) ate 3 of the smallest gouramis. Now my 3 remaining gouramis have double in size and he/she leaves them alone. She doesn't mind the raphael catfish. I always like to have more ideas on fish that ...

My tank seems clean of ich. I have 2 1.5-2" striped raphael catfish in the tank along with an 8" blochii and 4 gouramis. My smallest striped catfish has been moved back into the quarantine tank, because he isn't doing well. The blochii catfsih started picking on him. He seems to just be sitting and ...

All my fish look great!!! Thanks for all the help. With raising the temp and speeding up there metabolism, my large catfish started eating my gouramis. Can't win them all. How long should I keep the tank temperature raised? I don't see any ich on them at all. I still have been syphoning out the ...

I live in Ware Massachusetts. The only medication I have seen in the stores around here is clout, ick away, and jungle tablets. I will not use clout, I've had bad experiences with clout on my goldfish. The ick away says it's not safe on scaless fish, so to only use half of the dose. Hopefully they ...

Could this kill my fish? My 8" blochii catfish named Sassy is really upset. She is 8-9 years old. She is going crazy itching herself on everything. I have raised the temperature, and added aeration. Since the temp has been raised she seems to be acting worse. Will this kill her? She keeps bumping ...

4 days ago my tank came down with ich. I have added the salt to .3% and it doesn't seem to have helped much. I've been syphoning the gravel every other day. It seems to have gotten worse. I don't know what to do. I have a big 8" blochii catfish, 2 striped raphael catfish, a mid sized pleco, and some ...

I just purchased 2 striped raphael catfish, and I was wondering what would be a good quarantine procedure?

Thanks so much!!! Pimelodus Blochii is my catfish!!!

Hi, My name is Sara and I'm new to the site. I've had a catfish for about 6 months. He is about 9-10 years old, and is about 8". I was wondering what kind of fish could be mixed with a catfish. He is in a 60 gallon tank with a small pleco. I think he is some kind of pictus catfish, but I'm not ...
