I agree with the Synodontis!
It could be on West African syno's keeping to the smaller more manageable sizes for the average person, more specific examples of biotopes and a discussion on breeding scenarios would be great, possibly Microsyno's as well.
Thanks,Birger

Cards are okay, I would get some, but my mother probably would not understand why she is getting a picture of a hairy catfish in the mail. The calendar idea is good with room for notes, I always keep one around to jot down what's going on, downside would be PC having to sell dated stock which can be...

S.ocellifer with cysts or blisters
Today I brought home a couple more S.ocellifer, they were at the LFS for a few months and are not in top shape. This particular one is 118 mm TL and has these cysts or blisters maybe, they seem to be only in the area pictured, his behaviour is no different than the others, and yes they are in quaran...

I am preparing for a trip to Africa and find this site helpful, It seems to have good explanations of most things we have to watch out for and covers most places on the globe http://www.cdc.gov/travel/index.htm but there is nothing more helpful than the experience of others who have already been there

Depending on the subject, if it was to be on one of your trips, I would be equally interested in the experiences gone through just to get to these fish, or the collection sites, a lot of us do not get to these locations very often or not at all as some seem fairly remote, just this sort of imformati...

venting S.ocellifer
What do you think these two S.ocellifer are, I have a hard time with this and start second guessing myself. The upper is darker throughout the body and is 135mm TL, the lower seems to have a deeper body, lighter color and is presently 125mm TL, there seems to be a slight difference in location in re...

They should be fine as long as there is some kind of shelter they can be secure in just making sure there are enough places for as many or more pleco's than what you have,for example they may not want to crowd together under the same piece of wood. As for the shrimp go back to what INXS wrote earlie...

You are most likely going to pay more for the catfish than the Oscars and unless you are getting some expensive oscars you may want to change your way of thinking slightly as well, in my tanks it's the cichlids that do the cleanup work, you have to make sure the catfish get enough food as the cichli...
