nice!

may I ask what happened to the arnoldi's and did you manage to successfully breed them?

good news for your guppy mate! I once had to do small surgery on a Carnegiella myersi (smallest species of hatchetfish afaik). it had tried to swallow a mosquito larvae but the thing ended up being stuck in his gill. the unlucky fish turned to its side and was just floating there. i managed to remov...

whoaaa, is that Ivanacara adoketa in the second picture??

that's a great fish to keep and not seen in the trade so very frequently! at least not in the Netherlands...

I am happy for you! nice find

it would be extremely cool if they would turn golden/yellow in your tank!! let us know if they do, please

Hi and welcome to this forum :d I'm pretty sure your fish is Callichthys callichthys click the URL for info may I ask what size your tank is? looks very small to me... Next to that, the fish you rescued does better in groups of his own species. So, if you have an appropriate tank and you can find mo...

Devoting a tank to a single fish (or species) is something i have been thinking about for a while as well, and when i came across this vid i knew i want one at some point in my life! maybe you like it as well: TrfOmfQwhG8 just make sure you have a proper lid on the tank if you choose to go for a fir...

I would do as racoll says, cleaning the sand is important for many reasons. about adding the sand, I always use a piece of plastic tube at least as long as the height of the tank and pour the sand through it. this way it is easy to divide the sand over the bottom of your tank and the water will stay...

I think Bas forgot to include the video



I have no clue but am curious as to what they are!



Mod edit: Jools: Added youtube tags to display video in post.

I think there are two things to say about this right now: 1. your fishes recently moved tanks and territories still need to be made 2. they are probably taking advantage of some sort of food source they find in/on the leafs. most Loricariidae eat wood and those that haven't got the dentals to do so ...

Hi and welcome to the forum!

your fish is a species of but with this genus it's very hard to narrow it down to a species level.

maybe someone else got a suggestion?

Will they eat vegetables as well? Courgette ("Zucchini") skin etc?

cheers Darrel

I have a single C. milesi and it absolutely loves courgette, but only attacks the flesh and leaves the skin intact.

oh great, food wise your doing a good job! I always had a piece of zuchini in the tank and refreshed it every day, but I think your fish probably not grows so quickly because of limited tank space. good to hear it's getting a bigger tank!

This looks like Pterygoplichthys disjunctivus to me. I had a pardalis for a while, also bought when 3 cm, and had to re-home it at 30 cm due to lack of tank space... this made me very sad. he grew from 3 to 30 cm in 2,5 years. I am a bit surprised your fish is 'just' 38 cm after 24 years. they can a...

wow, hard to tell from these pics, but think it will probably be a species or maybe

any chance to upload some better pics to be sure?

nice fish nonetheless!

Hi Serkan and welcome to the forum!

have you got any photo's of your tank(s) and fish?

have fun here.

Looks great Gert! I have one small thing to say about making your own background with wood attached to it. please drill small holes in the back of the wood and in the background and glue (use aquarium kit) a wooden plug into the hole in the wood, so you can stick that into the hole in the background...

would be my best guess!

What, no clog tags?

Seriously, this is quite impressive. Have you tried to breed the concolors already? From what I've heard these shouldn't be too difficult.

Hi Joost, I would suggest for you to first read these two articles and then come back with specific questions, if you still have any at that point :d http://www.planetcatfish.com/shanesworld/shanesworld.php?article_id=247 http://www.planetcatfish.com/shanesworld/shanesworld.php?article_id=412 good l...

for me this is a dream tank. I would have a different looking decor but the fish and techniques shown in this clip are just outstanding.

Rob, maybe in the light of current developments here, it would be nice to see some of your tanks in full shots as a good example?

Your tank is overstocked, even to American standards. and that says it all actually. you can keep repeating to yourself and us everything is going well and the fish are happy, but believe us, they are not. they are just surviving. it's the same as an overstocked Malawi tank. so little room for fish ...

not entirely sure, but i think this is a juvenile

New tank Glenn??

what's that black and white goby-like creature?

loving the lil castle... bwhahaha

I'm no expert, but this does look like a L075 to me. it's not the stereotype, but in most fish species, some individuals show different colours or patterns so I wouldn't worry about that too much. and if it's not L075, what would it be then? doesn't look like any of the known Peckoltia species, and ...

a good lens is far more important than the quality of the body (the camera). for example i have a pretty basic digital camera (Canon EOS 400D) but to get good pictures of my smaller fish or fry, i have had good results using the 60 mm f/2.8 macro lens. this lens was about the same price as the camer...

isn't this the species they call Ancistrus sp. 'Wabenmuster' in germany? in the US they call it A. sp. 'Honeycomb' I think...

and (L129) it is.

firstly your link to youtube is not working for me. but it sounds like weird stuff indeed. your suggestion of a relation between the guppy's breeding and the L014 behaviour got me thinking of a study on Koi where they found that the presence of certain pheromones in the water led to a decrease in gr...

Hi,

these fish like to bury themselves into the substrate. makes them feel safe. this is easiest in a substrate of fine sand.

I would highly recommend you to replace those shiny gravel colours for a sandy substrate, the pit bulls will benefit from that and you get to see their natural behaviour.
