I have an aquarium of 180 liters which I'll make a banjo catfish tank. So problem solved.

Hi I got seven banjo catfishes a week ago. They are living in an aquarium of 70 liters at the moment. The problem is that they are not eating too well. I have given them bloodworms but so far I have noticed only one banjo eating. How can I feed them more effectively and how can I learn them to eat d...

Hi I have a new aquarium of 420 liters and at the moment there are 86 different-sized Corydoras sterbai and a male Ancistrus dolichopterus . I am planning to have some larger South American catfishes like the Raphael Catfish ( Platydoras costatus ). Would Platydoras costatus get along with the corie...

Thanks.

With regard to Finnish: a very difficult language. I have some carbrochures in Finnish and I'm certainly happy there are pictures in them for that's about the only thing I can understand :wink: Right. 8) These fishes are kept by my colleague and they spawned 22nd October. Would you have some good t...

I'd go for Hoplosternum punctatum as well, but where on earth did you dig up the name Diasternum? It's mentioned in some very old threads over here, but afaik never made it scientifically as it's not found in any synonym. There are two species of Diasternum in the catalog of fish names named "...

They look like Hoplosternum sp. IV in the book Aqualog: All Corydoras (page 121 & 122) and punctatum in this link:

Hi Do you recognize if this species is Diasternum ( Hoplosternum ) madgalenae or D. punctatum ? It was sold as Dianema longibarbis .

I live in Finland and we have Ameiurus nebulosus in my country. It has been introducted in the 1930s and it has been established in southern Finland, but it has been found even in the latitude 64°. So it is a very cold-tolerant species indeed!

I have a pair of eight year old Megalechis personata . They spawned last time in Autumn 2004. I have added a lid to the tank one month ago. I expected it to inspire them to spawn. However the hoplos are just sitting under the lid. The female seems to be ready to spawn, but the male doesn't build the...

Hi

My LFS is selling these dark corys as Corydoras melanistius. Is this a valid name for these little guys?

Hi

Are my plecos species Ancistrus dolichopterus L-183?

Ancistrus 1.


Ancistrus 2.

Vicky: Would you be able to post some pictures of your Lepthoplosternum here?:)

Phoxinus

Hi

Thank you for the pictures! How old are the big ones?

Another question: What is the best way to know if a juvenile hoplo is a female/male?

Phoxinus

We have been breeding Megalechis picta (Last spawned on the 9-9-07) Callichthys callichthys (Last spawned on the 20-12-07) Megalechis thoracata (Last spawned on the 15-2-08) Hoplosternum littorale ( Last spawned on the 27-4-08) Lepthoplosternum pectorale (Last spawned on the 28-4-08) We have just s...

Ok, thank you for the answers. My LFS gets supplies me 10 x "Dianema calixtis". Hopefully they are Callichtys callicthys.

Hi My local fish store is going to order some fish from Peru soon and I saw these fishes on the list. Pollera cat Dianema calixtis Dianema longibarbis Dianema green Porthol stripped Dianema yellow Prochilodus nigricans Which one of these could possibly be Callichtys callicthys? What do you think?

Hi I am a new member in this forum. I am very interested in the Callichtys callicthys . Do you have this species of armored catfish? Have you seen it on sale in aquarium stores? I live in Finland and it seems almost impossible to get that fish there but maybe some of you are lucky enough to own this...

I live in Jyväskylä, Finland.
