Hi Planet Catfish people. Could you help ID our Corydoras please? I think it's probably Corydoras trilineatus but not sure. Thank you

Looks a bit on the thin side to me?

Thanks very much for the input :-) So looks like im going to have to rethink my plans for the new aquarium. Two of my Brochis are already 3inches and the other two arnt far behind. Im worried that the 125 litre tank they are currently in wont be large enough for them, besides I was hoping to up the ...

Hi, me again :-) The Euptera are doing great. I dont see much of them until the food goes in. Greedy! :o Just wondering if you could give me a few tips on the best diet for these fish please? At the moment I am feeding them Tetra Tabimin (everyday), Hikari Algae wafers (every other day), crushed she...

Some realy interesting reading there, thanks

And thanks for turning my rather mundaine common BN ID post into such a facinating thread.

Realy interesting. :-) So who normaly funds the describing of species? Is it universities funding PHD students to do the work? I assume some of you guys have been involved in some scientific studies of catfish? What a great job the naturalists on The Lost Land Of The Volcano have. Although its proba...

Interesting comments :-) Have you guys been watching Lost Land Of The Volcano on BBC? They had a cool catfish on there the other day, was it realy as dangerous as they said? Anyway. I was wondering; they are finding new species and taking them to be officialy described (forgive my incorrect lingo) w...

Thanks for your thoughts Richard B

I agree entirely racoll, hence my grovelling appology. Sorry again matsP.

Colchester is very well thanks Nice and sunny today

Thanks MatsP :-) He wasnt tiny tiny when I bought him, maybe 2 inches and wasnt that expensive so he must be the common variety as you say. Thanks for that :-) He is a hansome brute :D Interesting the way he changes colour depending on lighting, time of day, food available and that kind of thing. Gr...

Hello :-) Ive joined the forum getting an ID on my Synos and whilst looking over the website I checked out the Ancistrus catelog page. I knew there was a few different types but not that many! :o So I was hoping someone could give me an answer to satisfiy my curiosity? Many thanks :-) sentinelblack1...

Thank you marc. I think i'll spend my Sunday reading all about my new fish. Just read a few older posts about hybrids. I can see now why there is often some caution in giving 100% ID's.
Realy interesting posts on here, i'll be glued to the screen for quite some time

Thank you Jools and matsP. I'm a nice guy realy, and a real lover of fish. Hope to learn alot from the experts here.

Thats good news that I can keep all 4. Realy excited now!

Morning guys. Firstly an appology to mats. I was being a classic forum newby and should know better than to kick off like that. Thanks to everyone for calming it down for me. Realy appreciate it. You've got a realy great site here which people give there time and knowledge to to help people like me,...

Again, a little rude :? How am I supposed to know how this forum operates and how often the members sign in? I am sorry but I realy dont get why you seem to have taken offense to me "bumping" the thread?? :? Maybe a polite PM informing me of the strict etiquette of the site might have been...

Sorry I wasnt going to let that get to me but it has. I joined this forum to hopefully get some help from you guys in the know and maybe a nice welcome. I didnt expect to get told off by one of the moderators for asking for a second opinion, which was advised to me by one of your more friendly membe...

Thanks Matsp.
The only reason I gave it a bump is that marc van arc sugested that we wait until the syno pros join in.

Thanks for comfirming.

EDIT: Sorry for bothering you needlessly

No other opinions on this?

Thanks very much marc van arc.

The shop should take them back if they turn out to be incompatable with my other fish.

Hmm. The euperta looks the closest I think. The hybrid seems to have more contrast in the colouring with a less 'busy' patterning than mine.. Having said that it does look very similar.

So if we go with the S.euperta, what is my next course of action?

Thanks.

Hi Marc van arc, thanks for the reply :-) I did think maybe euptera but because they change colour as they grow ive found it hard to find a photo of one the same as mine. Can I post a link to photobucket, ive shot a small video which might help.. http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y219/flappinganimal/...

Hi. I have purchased some 'upside down' catfish after researching that they were peacefull shoalers suitable for a comunity aquarium. However I am somewhat concerned that they arnt the usualy variety of upside down catfish and could be something 'big'. Ive been driving myself bonkers trying to get a...
