Guys, that's called entertainment for the masses. Nobody would watch a movie about a hard-working, honest people's day-to-day life, well, ok... maybe 0.01% of potential viewers. But the vast majority is fascinated by the day-to-day life of gangsters and mobsters (e.g., Scarface, Godfather, etc.). Th...

just to clarify: regardless of age?

Many thanks are due from me to MissBooBoo!!! In my two tanks, 55 gal and 120 gal, many/most fish in the tanks caught something with similar symptoms (after a major resident reshuffling in 7 tanks; not the first reshuffling but never had a problem like that before). And since MissBooBoo's thread was ...

I have found Interpet No.9 actually works very well for internal bacterial infections and does not seem to damage the filtration bacteria. It also does not bother my plecs, cories or clown loach.http://www.petplanet.co.uk/product.asp?dept_id=1331&pf_id=5002 Rick, I cannot see the active ingredi...

Taksan, if you mean metronidazole, then it is an anti-parasitic medicine, AFAIK and this is the only way I used it. Perhaps, you know something else? I'd suggest to try the proven combo: Nitrofurazone + Furazolidone (approx. 2:1 proportion) - the brand names may differ but look for these two active ...

Thanks, Mats. Did not even know about this fish. Too bad I still cannot find full episodes on the net, as we discussed before.

I am very thankful to Haavard for starting that copyright thread... Anyway, Martin, do you have a reason for not asking him directly? Sorry, if I come off a bit too blunt...

Inorganic solar cells are not nearly cheap enough to make yet to compete with hydroelectric power; their humongous cost of manufacturing and low efficiency are the two big obstacles on their implementation way (and insufficient lifetime of only 20-30 years; and use of toxic materials)... Organic sol...

a-ah, a graceful out for you thanks

? what's the call? as in I call what stays and what goes or do you mean to say the c.r. holder will contact me?

my long-standing question too I've just re-read the data sheets and examined the photos again: wyckoides starts to develop red color in his tail when still relatively small, perhaps 6" (?), but very small ones look quite similar, wyckii appears blacker/darker but that may be subject to the wate...

Lesson # 11,735. [-X [-X [-X Sorry, I guess I screwed up. I had not checked for any copyright info. Good tip about links or providing the urls - that's the way to go it appears. Jools, I think the best course of action is to delete the pics in those two threads I cited above before you hear from the...

another one by me:

Good read, guys and gals, educational. To all but Jools in particular: I've done it a few times - went out and copied and pasted several fish pics off of an i-net search results and into a PlanetCatfish thread. Did not alter anything, just attached as is. See for example this: http://www.planetcatfi...

He/she is very pretty, I agree.

But hybrid AFAIK, no syno has finnage spotted that way...

your tanks are bi-bi-utiful! but it is easy enough to slim her down a bit unless she turns out a bully or a whizzing hoarder at the feeding times... on the bottom we have some pangasius IDS are mid-water fish, not bottom, AFAIK; yours is still small and they grow very slowly IME Your "upside do...

IMHO, not going to happen in 1000 years for the general folk, may be 10,000 there is animal police, at least in Miami or so I watch on AnimalPlanet, never seen a case with fish yet, though... not that I've seen much either... Also, a red-tail like the one rescued by J Strazinsky looked pitiful enoug...

I didn't either, none of my are fat at all but I've owned them only for 1/2 year... they are fed good, they eat good, every other day along side all other synos of mine, they grow ok too, from 2-3" to 4-5" in 1/2 year, so mine are not close to the 6" mark of that guy - he/she looks pr...

In summary, a licence may stop people buying fish without the tank to keep them in, but how do you evaluate that a person can then keep that tank running for the 30+ years the fish should live? Sadly, one answer may be sudden and random inspections by the State Dept of Pet Life and Game... what a s...

Cool stuff, Sergey! Keep it coming.

LNB: Well that's quite the wish-list! VJ: Thanks! And you really looked through carefully. Wow! Thanks! LNB: The fish on my wish list are at the opposite end of the spectrum and would all fit into the mouth of one of yours :)) VJ: :)) :)) LNB: I should be able to get you some native cats in the spri...

A-a-ah, nice, refreshing approach. Just slice the Gordian knot. Socialism-like, but I think Taksan is onto something here, even if it is another bite for thought...

Good food for thought, Jools. For the argument's sake, who would stock the fish? Would you recommend that transshippers (relatively close to the LFSs in the delivery chain) should stock the "potentially too large" fish? Because, if I understand it right, fish are shipped from SA and Asia b...

Thanks, Taksan! Good to know. I wonder how many people in the vicinity would want and be able to house such fish. I also hope Zungaro zungaro , aka Jau , is not done growing yet and will reach 4'-5'. By Lince catfish, you probably mean Platynematichthys notatus , right? I hope your friend makes up f...

Hey, thanks! Jonathan is still in a large debt over the folded monster-fish-rescue and tries to offset it little-by-little; also, he wants to convert his 1200 gal into a cichlid heaven, at least this is what I gather from his words. He is way into cichlids and not much (enough? by my standards) into...

They also had, in the marine section, orange faced batfish, who are just way too big for anything but public aquaria, if you can get to feed! Shame fish like these are still so readily available. I know what you mean, Martin, and I concede your points, especially the ready availability one. Still y...

ok, I cannot send you an email right away because PlanetCatfish does not list your email but rather a link which does not work for me - I use Yahoo mail directly and the link does not accomodate for it, I guess. So why don't I just post it here? Well, I can think of at least a few reasons why not - ...

here we go http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... 05#p206605

and I will email you my fish-wish-list; you are way too kind, offering all kinds of help - thanks much, L # banana!

the above photos are taken during a water change; sorry, most pics are still horrible quality
