HI every one ,its good to be on a forum where every one has the same addiction ( CAT FISH ),is there a cure or is it for life .

My name is Bob and I live in Queensland ,Australia .

First question ,has any one breed Cory Narcissus ? they are very small eggs and I find the fry are hard to raise .anyone got any ideas .

Second question, any one breed Brachyrhamdia marthae ? I would like to try to breed them , I have 3 adult fish 2 male 1 female ,

It is a challange keeping cat fish in australia we have strict import laws here , so any good cats ei.L numbers can cost a fortuine if you can find any for sale .

Happy cat fish keeping . Bob

Welcome to PC Bob.

Given the laws in OZ, apologies in advance if in our discussions we make you drool over fish that are hard to come by there!

As for the eggs, C. narcissis are not one of the more commonly bred species but are you sure these aren't from the Brachyrhamdia ?
Most Pimelodids have very tiny eggs.

Please provide more details or start another topic in the Callichthyidae Forum.

I am sure Ian (aka Coryman) would be able to answer any questions you may have.

After I posted this it hit me ,wrong spot for questions I will redirect them .
What do I keep ,plecostomus,snow kings,albino plecostomus,L001-L022 ,gibbiceps ,these usualy breed every year for me .
all sorts of corys ,whip tails that breed regulary and syno. angelicus which I wish would !!! .


Happy catfish keeping

PS

you breed Gibby's?
that's quite unusual, unless you have them in a pond....
queensland would be warm enough to pull that off; esp if you're a bit up north.
but it isn't too cold in Brisvegas in July/August?

your "winter" up there, was a very nice warm "summerholiday" for me, last august!

It is warm enough , days are 32 nights are 20 at the moment and now is when they are breeding .

They are in earth ponds , as soon as I can work out how to post photos I will do so .

They wont breed untill the water gets to 28 or 30 .

Temp wise its a holiday all year here .

Happy cat fish keeping Bob
