Subtle hint towards me, buddy?

Amazing!

Chrysichthys are extremely hard to ID correctly (except for C ornatus), but the mentioned species could very well be spot on.

Congrats on your new species Bene

Wow, well done

This is no hybrid, it came with a shipment from Brazzavile last year, at Utaka's

Wow, he's getting more handsome day by day

Alfred looks a hell of a lot better!
Keep up the good work

So if I'd have a Mali-biotope tank, I'd be failing at it miserably

Hahaha
well put, but that's not my thing

About my Chrysichthys ornatus

I have him/her for about a year now and I think it has grown maybe 4 cm max.
including its tail I think he/she's 10-12 cm now.
It ddoesn't seem to care much about its Tankmates.
But I do keep an eye on the little one

I'm so ashamed Eric.
it's a spoon I use to keep cucumber on the ground

Congrats

Oh well, in all honesty, if(!) I'd switch, my Chrysichthys cf nigrodigitatus wouldn't leave.
I'm so in love with that pair
So, I guess I could play the 'hypocrite card' now

With tetras I'm referring to a hypothetical biotope switch Viktor ;) I would think about Bleedinghart tetra, or Nematobrycon or Hemigrammus bleheri, stuff like that. Perhaps my reply was a bit 'oversized' on the tank in that video. I'm just very focused on trying to keep fish as natural as possible ...

To make things a little 'crazier',
would this large P armatulus combine with a large group of Corydoras and medium sized tetras?

I would go for this effecthttp://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cWIVCdLOImw#[/youtube]

If I would make this switch, I would stick with the smaller species, but in large numbers.
Hopefully I will get to see more natural behaviour that way:
Smaller species in a larger tank

It's the misses Birger, she made me second guess
"I really don't like this tank"
"I would love to see more colours in your tank"
Etc. Etc.

I will however keep my small tank West Africa-themed

My wife has got my doubting about my tank... (163x124x080 cm3, netto 1500 liters). I'm currently eveluating a possible switch to SA Is this tank suitable for Cory's, considering the height of the tank (80cm glass height)? And what Cory's would be suitable for this tank? I do have experience with a c...

It looks a lot like Labeo chrysophekadion, so no catfish

Wow!
I'm in love with Rita now
What a beauties!
Especially the R. gorga

I think the Platydoras I have my eyes on is bigger than the one in the video you mentioned ;)

Looking at the individual species, I can only say beautiful
But at the whole package, I can only cry..
What a horrible mix of species in an overcrowded tank with hardly any decoration in it

Would this combined with the following bottomdwelling cats?

2 Chrysichthys cf nigrodigitatus
1 Chrysichthys ornatus
2 Paraucheiniganis cf punctatus

I'm currently in the process of adding this calm beauty to my tank (even though it's a West Africa themed tank).
Unfortunately the fish has to leave it's current tank and I do believe she(?) can have a great old day in my 163x124x080 tank (Netto 1500L)

He/she is 16 years old by the way
