Tom, Conditions were deteriorating again in the tank...the P. bufonius was doing just peachy, but each morning for the past 2 days, I saw fresh damage to the Corys. Sadly, I have taken the Pseudopimelodus back to the LFS - he was in perfect health, and a bit tricky to catch, but we bagged him withou...

Gentlmen, Thanks for sharing your knowledge about these fish. Conditions were deteriorating again in the tank...the P. bufonius was doing just peachy, but each morning for the past 2 days, I saw fresh damage to the Corys. Sadly, I have taken the Pseudopimelodus back to the LFS - he was in perfect he...

Hi Tom, Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty scrupulous about water quality, but I appreciate your suggestions. Corys are doing better now...fins healing. I'm pretty sure now that the Pseudopimelodus bufonius was racing around the tank the first night he was in there, trying to get acclimated, and I th...

Thanks for your reply, Marc. The fish in question is doing well, no longer "jumping out" at fish that approach the entrance to his underwater lair. He's been willing to come out in late evening after tank lights are off (but room light still on), and get some small pellet food. A truly bea...

Do not buy any of these "dyed" fish - it is a disgrace what lengths folks will go to to try and make a buck. Nice Corys weren't selling fast enough before, so they had to dye them? Please... You also might consider letting your LFS know that you don't wish to buy from establishments that c...

Silurus - thanks for your reply. I checked out both species online before purchasing the fish - it's hard to be sure, as they look very similar. This fish is already approx 3" long, and the gal at the LFS said that the fish would grow to 2-3 times that size, hence my guess that I might have P. ...

Does anyone have experience with <I>Pseudopimelodus bufonius</I>? I found this lovely catfish at my LFS at the most affordable price of $2.09. He was hiding in a very large snail shell. I have tenatively identified him as P. bufonius: <a href="http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/pseudopi/pseud...

I have a very pleasant 20 Gal High tank with 3 Corydoras paleatus (Peppered Catfish), 2 Corydoras aeneus (albinos), 5 Otocinclus, and 1 Pseudopimelodus (maybe bufonius a species of South American Bumblebee Catfish). There is also one female Betta up top. A few live plants are in the tank, some Valli...
