The book you would be after would be thousands of pages, a few kilos in total. That's why I would rather think of a collection of books with several volumes, a bit like encyclopedias. If really there is nothing like that, I will try to collect books but the problem will be at the level of the scien...

Good morning, to pass my breeding in professional, I must constitute a file with files for each kind of fish which I wish to maintain / raise (it is obligatory in France). So I'm looking for a reference book, a world atlas with as many species as possible. I already have several books on catfish (in...

Ok thanks

so it would be a leopardus and not a C102? I can take additional photos if that helps.

Good morning, I collected this corydoras a few years ago with my group of Corydoras reticulatus. He is therefore a little over 10 years old and measures approximately 5cm SL. I would like to find a new family for it, but to select it, I need to know its species. I always thought it was a julii but I...

Hi, I am looking for Phyllonemus typus or Lophiobagrus cyclurus. They would be in a 350l tank with 20 hybrid Synodontis, the largest measuring about 20 cm TL. Can synodontis predate this kind of fish? Which species do you think are the best to cohabit with them? How many to introduce? Do you have ph...

Hybrids

Currently I have no more affected fish. I have secondary infections but they seem to be healing slowly. I don't know if it was the treatment or the UV that was effective, but for the moment I don't do the salt treatment if there are no symptoms. I therefore lost two synodontis out of the 7 present. ...

I just did the water change and put the activated carbon in the filter. As it is a 160l and my filter has a flow rate of 800l/h, after how long can I carry out the salt treatment? Is starting with a dose of 5g/l of salt correct? What is surprising is that some synodontis have nothing and are in grea...

Hello, the duration of the treatment ends and unfortunately I still have affected fish. I lowered the temperature to 27°C as you advised me. As we are at the end of the treatment, I turned on the UV in the hope that it destroys the free form of the ich. As some fish always have spots, can I continue...

If I follow your answers, the best is to eliminate the product and do a water change? But suddenly how to treat ich if the diagnosis of the initial disease is the right one? The filter of this tank is equipped with a UV lamp but I removed it because it is indicated on the instructions of the product...

Hello, I come to ask for your help because I discovered yesterday that my synodontis nigriventris were sick, at a stage which seems to me to be advanced. For the record, the aquarium is an extremely opaque blackwater (because of the tannins but also the floating plants) with quite a few coconuts and...

that's exactly it. Apparently the only treatment would be the Seachem metroplex. I'm going to try.
Thanks for your help.

Hello, I was able to catch it. Here are some pictures. Any idea what it could be ?

Hello, I have a problem with a corydoras. I noticed the problem 2-3 years ago but it's really starting to get worse. It started with just streaks of blood appearing (no blood loss). Since then, the traces have grown. The corydoras eats as usual, no pruritus or unusual/abnormal behavior. It also seem...

I have aeneus and they don't have the yellow spot on the back or such a marked orange spot on the head.
Maybe a selection ?

I just realized my mistake, it will be 300m2 and not 3000m2... Apart from the carp, probably Chrosomus notropis. It is not dug yet so I have a little time to choose the future population. I like Leiocassis and Tachysurus but I'm afraid it will be difficult to find them in my area, I have to check wi...

How about the common bullhead does not get very large Jeanne I come across Cottus gobio while searching the internet, is this the one you are talking about? Would madtoms survive? I haven't seen any species larger than 18cm so I'm afraid they'll get eaten by the big carp. I spotted: -Silurus asotus...

Hello, I plan to make a pond of about 3000m² with a depth between 1.50 and 2m (so that the water does not freeze in winter). We would like to put koi carp there. Being passionate about catfish, I was wondering if there were species that could live there all year round? The estimated temperature is 1...

Hello, they have just reproduced and I counted about 150 eggs for a female of about 5 cm. I thought that might help with identification.

Hello, they have moved into their final tank. Their color stands out better, hoping that this is sufficient for identification. https://youtu.be/DxSjXgqWJF0 DxSjXgqWJF0 https://zupimages.net/up/22/43/8t8n.jpg https://zupimages.net/up/22/43/g8mg.jpg https://zupimages.net/up/22/43/r3xk.jpg The fact th...

Thanks that's what I was afraid of. So is it possible for them to reproduce? I don't want to release hybrids so I will have to separate the sexes if they are able to reproduce.

Hello, I continue the identification posts with, this time, 20 synodontis. The previous owner bought them as S. njassae. I have some doubts for some who have much smaller dots and for another who has very few dots (S. nigrita?). They are about 3 years old and measure between 7 and 15 cm. I also post...

CW041

is an option for the Bronze Cory. Maybe let it settle in the tank and take a few more pics?

Jools

Thanks. I'll take pictures in a week in this case. CW041 also looks like it.

Here are other pictures of Corydoras n°3. The size doesn't seem to match C. delphax but the pattern seems to be the same. https://zupimages.net/up/22/42/yjv0.jpg https://zupimages.net/up/22/42/y5hq.jpg https://zupimages.net/up/22/42/bu6j.jpg https://zupimages.net/up/22/42/qydy.jpg https://zupimages....

Thanks. I can take pictures of n°3 if it can help. For the last 4, they had just arrived so were stressed. I also take photos. We have big problems in France with the Corydoras. Many are imported under the wrong names (hence my many requests for identification). I just found an importer that seems t...

Nobody ?

Here are the last 4 that were sold to me as C. venezuelanus. What do you think ? They measure 4 cm for the smallest and 5 cm for the largest. I'm thinking 3 males and 1 female. https://zupimages.net/up/22/42/pvr0.jpg https://zupimages.net/up/22/42/w1k1.jpg https://zupimages.net/up/22/42/mw20.jpg htt...

They reach their adult size around 2 years old I believe. I gave the size at 10 years because we are sure that the growth is over and that gives an idea of the long term.

Hi,

I had three and after about ten years they were about 10 cm.
