Gaahh! These are just regular bronze corys (<i>C. aeneus</i>) injected with dye. For a discussion on the forum on dyed catfishes, see: http://forum.planetcatfish.com/viewtopic.php?t=186 http://forum.planetcatfish.com/viewtopic.php?t=274 I wouldn't have bought the fish if I were you, so as not to sup...

Um, shouldn't the CoTM include catfishes that someone has experience actually maintaining in the aquarium ? Let's not get carried away here... I can actually write some CoTMs myself (been meaning to for some time) Here's what I can offer: Wallago leerii Silurus asotus Belodontichthys truncatus Ompok...

Shane, While the idea of doing it in many parts sounds appealing, I just think that we will have very thin books once we are done with the bagrids and the silurids. I have my own reasons for doing it as one biggish book, namely sio that I can get it out of my way and concentrate on my dissertation r...

Title suggestions for the Asian cat book
This is a follow up post to the previous topic. Just want to pick the collective brains of the wonderful people in this forum. What would be a good title for the Asian catfish book ? I was thinking "Southeast Asian Catfish for the Advanced Hobbyist", but somehow it comes out sounding like ...

Dinyar and Yann, Centrifugal pumps are the regular pumps we know and use (powerheads, in internal filters, etc.). These are the ones that use an impeller for the pumping action, as opposed to the more complex positive displacement pumps, which use either a diaphragm or a flexible tube. Here's a grea...

Shane, Cool. Can't wait to hit the streams. It's been a long time (too long) since I was last out in the field, getting bit by insects, stung by catfish, sucked on by leeches. On a more forum-related topic, I was wondering how you would feel if I asked forum members with experience in Asian cats to ...

Achim and others, The general feeling I get from the forum is that there may be enough of you out there actually interested in an Asian catfish book (or at least one in which the identifications would be as accurate as possible). I'm thinking of resurrecting the stalled catfish book project and poss...

Actually, the dorsal fin is too short to be <i>C. nigrodigitatus</i> (which has a much taller fin).
There's a fact sheet for this on http://www.scotcat.com.

I noticed that the German aquarium literature circle has an inordinate fondness for loricariids and callichthyids (they also slightly favor large pims). Don't think there'll be a book by them out on African/Asian cats soon, given the fact that they don't ever seem to be done with the groups I just m...

Nope, these are myths (probably to scare the daylights out of people going for a dip). The largest animals found to have been eaten by wels are water voles (even this needs to be substantiated), and I highly doubt that they are capable of attacking and eating swimming dogs (as some stories would hav...

Actually, it may have been <i>D. depressus</i>. Not too sure about the id. Looks like a regular banjo (<i>B. coracoideus</i>), except that the body (but not the caudal peduncle) is much shorter and more slender, the eyes are closer together and the coloration is much lighter (a rich medium brown).

I have a <i>B. verrucosus</i>, and it's only a little tad more active than the <i>B. coracoideus</i> and the <i>Dysichthys quadriradiatus</i> it shares the tank with. Although it is the only banjo cat that would actually move during feeding time, I still don't see it come out as often as I would lik...

There are no catfish native to the British Isles. Wels (<i>Silurus glanis</i>) was introduced to Britain from Europe in the 1860s, while the Miller's Thumb (<i>Cottus gobio</i>) or Bullhead (not to be confused with the North American catfish) is not a catfish at all. Cottids (sculpins) are a predomi...
