Thank you

I Visited a lfs today and noticed a tank that had Pseudomystus heokhuii written on it, as i only had been looking at this on the cat-e-log earlier today I knew that they wasnt due to these fish were double the stated size of heokhuii. I'm going to have a guess that they are Pseudomystus sp_cf_stenom...

but i just curious to the amount of filteration this does compared to say a HOB whisper 60 Are you talking about biological or mechanical filtration ? I have been doing quite a lot of research on the HMF as i am thinking of using them on 13 of my 24in tanks and everywhere that i have looked, everyo...

Bought the first two last weekend at a cichlid club auction as pair of petricola. Both fish about 3.5 - 4in Third fish was bought as petricola from lfs when it was about 1.5in, now about 2.5in I think fish 1 lucipinnis, Fish 2 petricola (?), Fish 3 lucipinnis . . . . . opinions ? FISH 1 http://img.p...

This rack holds a 4ft on top and 2 x 3ft underneath, the rack that is attached to the left of this hold 3 x 4ft's.

A 2 metre tank isnt going to be big enough to hold one of these




How about Sorubin lima ? They only get to about 16inches (40cm)

Like Microsoft has a fetish for trying to keep a clean computer desk top I am driven to find the cheapest, easiest ways to keep and breed fish; I do every thing I can to avoid doing anything more than is absolutely necessary to achieve my desired results. I like your train of thought there .... :th...

I think that you are worrying waayyyyyyyyy too much :wink: I have about 60 juv 1.5in BN's at the moment. From day one (when I noticed a few stuck on the glass) I have basically ignored them. They got no special treatment at all apart from the first few weeks when all I did different was repeatedly s...

Watch football :roll: I would rather stick pins in my eyes :shock: I would find that more interesting than watching a bunch of overpaid nancy boys kicking an inflated pigs bladder around a grassy field into a fishing net held up by a few pieces of wood. :thumbsup: Ok rant over :beardy: As you may ha...

I was looking through a website with part of it detailing expeditions, one in particular with a lot of very good pictures of biotopes of the Northern Pantanal in Brazil. Fantastic looking fish, anyone ID this ? EDIT ..... Picture shows a too large image so here is original link, which also shows ent...

The Durex ad has got to be the best ever.

Just choose a species that doesn't fly, can't climb on smooth surfaces and won't breed under 25° degrees celcius. I think you can guess why.

I would suggest Blaptica dubia as this species fits all of the above requirements.

just make sure they are not competing with anything at first They are in a 4ft with 4 x Thorichthys Ellioti and a pair of Herotilapia multispinosa that breed every few weeks (lots of livefood there ) The light go out at 10pm and I usually get home from work around 1-2 am so I will feed them then so...

Thanks, thats given me something to think about.

We really should have an article covering RO units, how they work and what they do - some time I will get round to doing that.

I second THAT ! ! !

Can we expect it sometime next week then ?

I was lucky to pick up 2 x 6-7inch Liosomadoras oncinus yesterday but they are quite thin with a shrunken stomachs. My fish shed is in total darkness after 10pm and will be feeding them a mixture of lancefish, mussels, cockles, krill, prawns and catfish pellets a few hours after lights out. Is there...

closed for renovations The site has been closed for renovations for months, I have tried to ring them a few times at different times of the day but no answer.

This is one of the best allrounders with some serious people logging on and very few muppets . http://www.cichlidae.com/forum/ Also try www.eacichlid.co.uk but this is mainly CA and S American keepers but there is a good general knowledge base amongst the forum members so could be worth a try. I hav...

Looks good but IMHO there needs to be something tall at the back.

Do you have any photo's of these fish next to a ruler as they seem to be way over the size stated in the cat-eLog ?

If you like L numbers, have you been to Wholesale tropicals in Bethnal Green yet ?
Probably cheaper than Wildwoods as well

Make sure you take a bulging wallet ..... your gonna need it

There are some very nice cats there
There are also many of them that look like they have swallowed a rubgy ball .... wouldnt want your food bill

Anything happening ?

I've just got a trio of 4 inch Callichthys callichthys.
At what size are they likely to be sexually mature ?
