I have a pimelodus blochii in QT right now, about 5.5"

We'll see in couple weeks how he does.

Well, not exactly what I was looking for (pictus) but better! P. Blochii get to around 10", that's more what I wanted.

Here it is


Pimelodus blochii? It was marked as 4 stripe pictus.

I have 10 in a 55, with a male and female ancistrus. In fact, my LFS is getting more exodons in today, and I'll be inspecting them, with thoughts to increasing my school to 20 or so. They're great: active, pretty, easy to feed.

Marc van ark-

That's an exodon tetra in your sig right? I love them, and have a small school myself.

I've got a 4.5" pictus in my quarantine tank right now, just went out and bought him and will be looking for 3-4 more.

Unfortunately I inherited the JD when my brother in law passed away, and whenever my wife sees it, she says"there's my brother's fish" so getting rid of him is out of the question.

How about a group of pictus with him and the danios?

Pictus cats would be cool, they look alot like the Lima. As long as I could find pretty big ones, say 4.5-5" they'd probably be alright. I could have more than one of those? How many, they sort of school, like corydoras right?

The lizard can go, all he is, is a toy for the JD, he picks up the lizard and carries it around, and bashes it into the glass sometimes. I was in the process of switching backgrounds when I took the pic. It was blue, now it's black. I could move the rocks, and easily add more driftwood, I have alot ...

I read that, I guess I didn't consider my JD to aggressive since he doesn't show much interest in my danios, or the pleco I kept before.

I have a 55 with a 9 1/2" male Jack Demspey, and 8 giant danios. I have been considering non-cichlid tankmates for a while, something that doesn't get too big for the tank, and something that isn't too small, or too slow to get eaten by my JD. I kept a large pleco for a friend for a couple months ...

Hello all,

I have a male and female ancistrus, along with a marine reef aquarium, a JD, and am interested in a lima shovelnose.
