hi Not much information that I can give you; but, I hope this little amount may be of some help. I once, got some Amblyceps foratum to spawn I had eggs but only three hatched, and the fry subsequently died within 24hrs. (so I class this as a failure to spawn) . The tank set up was 12"x10"x...

Re: Asian catfish that can breed in home aquaria?
Check out Shanes World and its reproduction articles. Full of very knowledgeable advice and reports. My advice is to start with relative easily spawned fish from around the world , and observe and learn from those experiences. Gradually your knowledge base will increase over time; but, don't forget ...

Re: Species of my albinos corydoras
They are the common Albino as you suspected
The other form of 'albino cory' that can be found in our LFS have a longer spine to the dorsal fin and are more blue in hue.

Re: Does my pleco look healthy?
Your fish appears to look OK.
If the rapid breathing continues when the fish is 'unaware' that you are observing it, increase the oxygen intake and try treating for gill flukes.

Would love to see the etymology for this one, let's name a catfish from the North with "conspicuously elongated, conical urogenital papilla" after Mike Hardman I'm guessing. Brilliant!

Re: Pseudolaguvia or not?
Me thinks maybe
Although; I concede that as Silurus was the scientist who described P muricata as well as other Pseudolaguvia species. You should give predilection to his I.D.

There are other Malapterus 'sp' that look similar to M electricus, like a catchment location or country of export would be a help in narrowing down which species your catfish is.

Also, the 'adults' h...

A hard question that can not be answered with any degree of certainty. These catfish eat a variety of things and are an omnivore. From shell fish to seeds and the like. It may well be that as migratory fish their diet may change depending on season and activity. In the dry seasons it can be assumed ...

Present size (SL) may help and any catchment location. Whip tails either Sturisoma or Sturisomatichthys species can be a tad difficult to properly identify from alone photograph. Photographs of the ventral surface can also help with identity.
