Do a search for "frontosa factory" in Google. Anthony Tu has spawned S. polli and is selling the offspring.

It would be great to see you again, Jools! We'll keep a bottle or two of beer cold for you.

I have about 20 terra cotta caves, mostly from South Central Cichlids.

I almost killed a hotel maintenance engineer... I was working on a ~300-gallon saltwater tank in the lobby of a Holiday Inn hotel and spilled a couple gallons of saltwater on the floor. No one told me the power supply/transformer for the hotel elevator was directly under the aquarium on the level be...

At the All-Aquarium Catfish Convention 2014 Fish Show the judges' assistant (me) made an error and did not see Dave's spectacular entry, Leptobotia taeniops , in the Loaches Class. Dave's fish should have won, especially considering there were only two other entries in the class. This is the fish he...

I can't believe the hotel let people do this (think of the possible water damage, etc.). That's awesome! Not only let us - They give the occupants extra tables to set up their stuff! Plus, they let us put all the catcon folks on the 2nd and 4th floors so we don't have to deal with any noise complai...

Only one way to find out...

Suggestions noted

That's the point, isn't it? It's great to have fun at a convention, but what's really important is the knowledge and enthusiasm you take home to your own fishroom. The new fish you want try, the new tips for the fish you already have, these are the things are really valuable long term.

This might be the most important thing, actually...

Hanging out with the fantastic people that come to the convention is the absolute best.

Does anybody else completely rework their fishroom in anticipation of a big convention? No catfish here but we will have the following available in Room 324 on Friday night, October 17 at the US Catfish Convention: Geophagus abalios - 8 juvies between 1.5 and 2.5" $50 for all Enterochromis paro...

OK, probably not the best turn of phrase... Registrations is what I meant.

I got excited over the great turnout we have so far!

Who's on the fence as to whether they want to come? Who's coming but hasn't registered yet? I spoke to some committee members last night and apparently we have more people registered at this point than any previous catfish convention! This means that this might just be the biggest, best, most fun ca...

Still looking to connect with someone who might have:

C. Robinae
C. Pantanalensis
C. Parellelus

Rob,

Definitely interested in the S. barbatus and black corys. Can you email me at the address above and we can work something out?

Also have some Aspidoras CW052 young adults.

I would love to come away from the Catfish Convention in Virginia this October with groups of any of these: Scleromystax spp. Corydoras duplicareus C. robinae C. parellelus C. pantanalensis C. schultzei "Black" Prefer to trade for them. I have the following to offer (all raised in my fishr...

I sold the ones that are about to breed but I have five smaller ones left, .75-1". $30 for the five of them, plus shipping. I also have some CW052 left as well as the Pseudotropheus williamsi "Makonde North" and plenty of the guppies. I would also be willing to trade my breeding group...

That was a fragmented and nearly useless reply... Sorry! I don't see them on the Federal list (first web link above). They may be banned in one form or another on a state-by-state basis, like they are apparently in Ohio. Check with your state natural resources department to find out if they are lega...

I suspect this is being generated by a recent state ban in Ohio:

$4 each, 6 for $20, 12 for $35.

I have a few things for sale or trade. Able to ship USPS Priority mail to continental US. Shipping cost depends on size of the box. Payment by PayPal. Please email me at scalestfw(at) yahoo dot com if you are interested in anything here. Also willing to trade for cool Corydoradines or rift lake Syno...

If any fish is going to be traded it should have a consistent identifier. For pleco hybrids I don't know if it should be an L-Number or something else but at least we'd all know what it was. It's going to happen whether we like it or not so we might as well have the chance to see it identified in so...
