I use Repashy in my rotation and think it is an excellent product. For medicating and acclimating new arrivals to prepared foods IMO it can't be beat. Soilent Green with garlic extract added has been a savior for many finicky wild caught suckermouths in my fish room.

My L134 have alwasy preferred Plecocaves.com 1.5" "Euro" caves. They are so tight on the adults one worries they are stuck.

Very cool Frank

Hoping to see some development pics

Different colored mud from the same bucket, Lot's of beautiful natural fish exist, why separate the mud and ignore one of the biggest oceans of fresh water?

Were these adults when you got them?

If these were juvies I would say they likely have some maturing to do. 24-36 months seems to reach maturity with average care is what I've been seeing. though lots of good clean fresh water and heavy feedings can accelerate this considerably.

I'd like to add, I get a similar error when trying to update the details in "My Cats"

Congrats on the spawn.

Surprisingly high fry count for a hypan, is it possible two females spawned with that male?

IMO if you're that successful breeding tank strains, leave them and focus on the natural beauties.

Someone asked on Facebook if their was a list of Loricariidae species which had been spawned. Is their an easy way to populate a list using the Blogs?

Thinking more I think I'd like to stick with commonly misidentified fish. as mentioned mimicry is really a seperated discussion.

I'd like to stress I'm looking for commonly confused species side by side

I'm currently working on a talk, and want spend a few frames stressing the importance identification and location separation. I'm hoping to find some side by side pics of mimics and regularly confused and preferably commonly available fish to use as examples. I will gladly give photo credit if used....

And regarding those 15 queens, how many different females were involved- I presume at least a different one for each clutch the male was on all at one time. That is still genetic diversity. smile1 Somewhat, but all the offspring share the same father. If I was to split the group into five trios and...

Just my 2 cents on the issue. I have always used groups or colonies. For me this means at least 7 fish and as many as about 15. I do this for a few reasons. 3. It should foster greater genetic diversity. This assumes you have genetically diverse stock. In my experience this could go either way depe...

my kidneys still hurt

Apparently I went to bed too early if I didn't try Repashy jerky

Is that not what the impromptu meetings were in the meeting place they had set out...the one that also supplied beers on a regular basis in the middle of the hotel...there is a lot of talk done in this way. Yes, but if it were done as a part of a regular session, more attendees would get to hear it...

TTA, I'm glad you got home safe, I was a bit worried when I left your room Saturday night around 5 am. I'm glad you enjoyed a bit of things. this was my second time selling and third convention, in the future I'll focus on bringing less and preselling more. after several conversations too may people...

This is very cool for you to offer this service.

Still finializing, but this is pretty solid. Prices will be in the room. Most of these fish are tank raised by myself or my room mates for the weekend, Steve H and Rob M. Corydoridinae Aspidoras Spilotus Aspidoras sp C118 C. sp CW009 "Green Laser" C. sp CW022 C. sp CW023 "Red line&quo...

In part of a trade deal I picked up some Juvie L180. I've already had some and have been breeding them, so figured I'll either grow the new ones out or sell them. Their is considerable difference between what I had and what I just got. The fish to the left is the new fish, stressed, generally blacke...

Have a look at .

With corys I find experimenting with group size and tank size helpful, every group seems to behave slightly different. For example I have a group of blacks that will only spawn in a pair, if additional fish are added they shut off, so I've moved them to a 5 gallon to better utilize space. Additional...

I'm hoping to have everything packed up and be on the road by noon on Friday.

Andrew, if you find a way to get them to me in Grayslake I'll bring them down

Gossei, Seussi, Adolfoi, B. Splendens would all be ok.

S. barbatus is a absolute no.

I'd avoid metae also. I don't know much about CW051.

I truly believe one cannot change too much water. Yes I'm sure their are exceptions for instance fish that come from stagnant waters. I change all my tanks 50-60% twice weekly or more depending on stock levels and feedings.

Matt you have been activated on PVAS.

If anyone else has issues registering for the PVAS forum let me know and I can pass it on the forum admin.

Thanks Verbal

I'm keeping mine setup just like any other cory. Matten Filter, sand, Vals wood and java moss. Temp is at 74 ph around 7.6. TDS 160
