Yes that will be the site, although it is not published officially yet, we have work to do on it yet. Your google skills are impressive grasshopper.

So we have a name for the event now Cataclysm..... Dates: October 16, 17, 18, 2015 Location: Howard Johnson (3841 E. Washington Avenue, Madison, WI 53704 US) Description: Cataclysm is a biannual aquarium catfish event, hosted by the MAAH, featuring noted aquarium speakers, aquarium product and lives...

Shane, Nice shirt. and Brian is a friend of our club.

"Groups of catfish nerds, all in one place, how can you possibly go wrong?"

My son would say the answer to that is in the question.

I think Barbie and TTA have a good idea. The speaker lineup is incredible and I hope it stays that way, but I think the Convention could be improved by adding a series of other talks, and/or round-table discussions. I went to the National Aquarium on Thursday and spent most of the day Friday lookin...

So what about CatCon makes it so good? Some of the Pro's of catcon IMO The strong speaker lineup Nonstop activities, from talks to tours and collection trips International draw of some of the worlds top Catfish hobbyists beyond the scheduled speakers Dedicated in-room sales floor with dedicated tim...

Oh, my friend... You want to know about "CatCon," do you? Read on.... http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... =2&t=41111

Cheers, Eric (like I've ever been there, LOL)

Thanks for the pointer.

So what about CatCon makes it so good?

True, but we have to start somewhere. For the first year we are hoping to draw in a large enough crowd that we can start building towards what the Potomac Aquarium Society has done. We did an event in the same hotel we are using this year about 4 or 5 years ago. Had a decent draw for our first event...

If you are in the Mid West, The Madison Area Aquatic Hobbyists club is going to do a Catfish Themed event Oct 16th to the 18th. More details to come soon.

I would then. Even if it turns out to be something else it is still a good looking Cory.

Depends on how much per fish, and minimum order, and how much to ship. Additional considerations, do you have a track record with the importer, and do you have collection point information.

Carl,are you seeing any fry?

Somewhere on here someone mentioned leaving the eggs/fry with the parents, and adding RCS to the tank. I have a group of C pygmaeous I am going to be setting up in a ten, I was wondering if I could toss rainbow mops in with then and expect them to leave the rainbow eggs alone as well?

That is interesting to hear.

I was actually teasing ;). I own an LFS and I get quite a bit of heat because I do not let people take home incompatible species. It frustrates people that want to be free to make their own mistakes, but is appreciated by enough that I can keep my doors open. If you find an LFS like that, stay with...

Crickets....

on a side note, if anyone knows any tricks to help king tigers breed please do share, ive not seen babies in awhile... most are 2+ inches now, i hope they didn't break up/divorce? :P I would suggest that this is the answer to the subject question. Remove all but two pair of the l066 and you should ...

I am wondering what everyone's take on this is. I have several groups of corries that will leave their eggs alone, while from talking with other hobbyists egg predation is a huge problem for them. Is egg predation in Corydoras a learned behavior, especially in our tanks. IE. If the fish in a group a...

... OK - any ideas which L number or do you think they are hybrids? I understand that many of the similar L numbers could be variants of the same species or are undergoing evolution from sub species to distinct species or even possible that natural hybrids may occur? e.g. like some african lake cic...

please enlighten me.....

From the pictures posted, I would have to say none of the above options seem like a likely ID.

Where were you getting the Red Flint sand?

Here in the midwest, this time of year contact your local pool filter supply store. Most of them carry Red Flint as pool filter sand.

The remnants of the egg are part of the yolk sack I believe. I am not sure though, maybe someone else on here can speak to that.

.... UPDATE: I had 51 eggs yesterday morning and only 44 when i got back in the late evening. Maybe i spoke too soon about the otocinclus not eating eggs. But then again maybe they had fungus and ether the otos ate them or the RCS did. If i catch them in the act i'll be sure to post it here :-BD Um...

In my humble opinion you need a none of the above option.

No they are both white with clear fins and black stripes over the underlying color.

With both heated and unheated tanks they start warming back up immediately. With the unheated tanks, room temp slowly raises the temp back up. With the heated tanks, I leave the heater on when I do cool water changes.

My corry tanks are mostly unheated. At 25.4 celsius you are running warmer then I keep mine, My tank tempature for C paleatus, were between 20 and 22 degrees celsius. The exception would be my Coridorus sterbai which I kept at 28 degrees. For the tanks at room temp I left the room temp warm them bac...

To be charitable, it may have been they did not know any better then you. For the guppies, you just need a tank with an oscar in it. Would the oscar attack my other fish ? like Corydoras paleatus corydoras sterbai Panaqolus maccus ,Pseudomugil furcatus and Bunocephalus coracoideus I suppose a bette...

Carl, first off congratulations on the spawn. "... Are you a fish breeder or own a Fish store ? How do you remove the un-eaten food ? " I am a hobbyists here in Madison, I am also a member of our local fish club. I really ramped up my fishkeeping in answer to some health issues. As far as ...
