Well, I´m not 100% positively, absolutely sure it´s a true Schall. It´s quite difficult to find out what specie he is. . But I think he is. However, I will try and get a picture of him (Only problem is that he mostly comes out at night. . ) But he is a kind of territorial fish. . He´s beaten oth...

Buying fish when it is winter. .

That sounds great! I must admit that I have sort of a soft spot for these beautiful fishes. In my LFS the to species of Dianema are kept together, and they´re pretty much the same size, but perhaps it´s better taking the ones without stripes, if they don´t get so large. Still, it´s odd that they...

Kryptopterus minor (Glass catfish)

Hi all. I´ve read about the Kryptopterus minor (glass catfish) in the "Catfish of the Month" from 1997, but I still have some questions. Is it very rare, that the real glass catfish is seen in petstores? How can you tell the difference between that and it´s cousin, the false glass catfis...
