He wasn't 100% sure about intermedius if i'm correct.
And they were sold as mystus.

A few more crappy pics and Jippo... :-BD http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss261/caswen/schilbe4_zps28ac558c.jpg http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss261/caswen/schilbe31_zps2c5ce640.jpg http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss261/caswen/schilbe7_zpsbe725da8.jpg http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss26...

Jippo, can you please tell me how fast it grew, what you've been feeding it (besides the tetra's/buffei :d ) and how big it is nowaday's. fish i've got in this tank: S.alberti 4 S.flavitaeniatus 7 N.macrostoma 2 Schilbe spp 9 D.sexfasciatus they all are bigger than this new little monster which is a...

the biggest one is about 20 cm's and they aren't shy at all, they are a perfect replacement for the tetra's.

they're constantly moving and like the given strong current.

and it's amazing how much they can eat!

here's some crappy pics for now




by time i'll post some decent ones

new fish'arrived last week.

8 Schilbe grenfelli and another one of which i don't know what it is (mystus?). photo's will come later because help is needed on this one.

and a single chrysichthys ornatus was bought today.

the last one died yesterday leaving 1 brycinus only. but that wasn't the question. "skittish" i had to look this one up :-$ they were never shy, nervous or what so ever. nothing to be mentioned here but every time i noticed a wound the fish died within a couple of days. over and over again...

hi martijn. the cats and nanno's are doing just fine,not to mention the tetras, one of each is left only. another group is something for later when the new (bigger) tank is ready. i bought a couple of steatocranus casuarius 2 weeks ago and enjoying their clownesk behavior. i was a bit worried after ...

yesterday a second notoglanidium macrostoma was added to the tank, a give-away fromthe local pet shop. hoping it'll be (more or less)accepted by the bigger one. luckally there is lots of hiding places. the chapter congo tetras is nearly finished, 2 out of 4 are pretty bad now leaving one brycinus an...

that's funny. -my group contained mostly males too -the first one died here was also a female (after swimming around with a massive infection, looking back í should've noticed she was already poorly when taken from the lfs -and once they're infected there's no way back but never ever i've seen them ...

http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss261/caswen/ziek1_zps1fdde109.jpg on the back, second one from below. once you see this (mostly the same place or the pelvic fins) it's too late. the folowing days the fish are are very red underneath their scales and die. one by one. last week a male brycinus ha...

oops, forgot one...



better pics in a better set-up with clean glass will follow

after both the tetras had some serious infections (lost quite a few) all fish went on quarantaine and medication. in the mean while i had time to re-decorate the tank. since the beginning of this tank (keeping catfish is new to me) i had the feeling i decorated it not good enough, the bottom was too...

http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss261/caswen/Q55A3M9mdm0Zg5uUdmEX1_zps6e45c9ca.jpg i'm from '75 and this book comes from about 4 years later. i remember my old man (who still owns it)covered the names underneath the pictures and i had to tell the name of the fish shown, i think i was 8 years old...

the so called fence i build was not good enough, ever since the oldest one loved to climb it :-O there was no excuse anymore. ones the youngsters (2 and 4) are able to swim i'll dug out the sand and start up a new pond. all is boring but playfull grass now. it truly was magical the way my daughter f...

a nice looking pic of a little baby cat. after our second child was born my pond had to leave,leaving me just some photo's to remember. in france i caught it by accident landing a big carp and brought this one to my koi pond. when caught it was 11cm's only and here it was grown 5 times it's size. ht...

new one arrived today. anaspidoglanis macrostoma http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss261/caswen/anaspidoglanis001_zpsb6afda9a.jpg http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss261/caswen/anaspidoglanis002_zpsebf0cdd0.jpg soon enough it's whisker will be fine again #:-S anyone an idea about keeping more in t...

hi shane.
i've got some V.spiralis, eleocharis and pistias on the surface and never caught them nipping bits off. all what's green seems to be left alone so far. fish are adults btw.

about not seeing the photo's i don't have a clue

thanks.

i've just replaced the 2 blue & 2 white led's for 3 red ones.
see what happens tonight after i've come back home from night shift.

2 forgotten ones......

thank you for all comments. i'm quite curious for the A.chapini too,fingers crossed. after i bought the brycinus and tiny darters last week the owner of the lfs asked me to be mail him so he can sent me the list of fish he's expecting to have pretty soon. the brycinus' are big eaters indeed and i mu...

1.60 by 90/60 by 60 (720 ltrs) left corner is 90cm'sdeep, in the right it's 60cm's strong current and in the evenings led's are tempered over view http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss261/caswen/IMG_6928_zps012d6201.jpg nannocharax fasciatus (7 very small ones) http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss2...

oops,you're right.
me wrong

there is another one.lota lota (burbot or bubbot).
A true beauty but seldom seen.

a fresh water cod like catfish.

it's been a while but i had to tell what fish eventually came my way. 5 s.decora 4 s.alberti 7 s. flavitaeniata all fish are 6 to 15 cm unfortunately the decoras might have to leave due to feeding competition with the quite shy alberti i just got last night. time will tell. once again: thanks for yo...

Stan wrote: So we have to hope, that at least Trachyglanis arrive

well i think they did, i was there today to pick up 7 S.flavitaeniata and a single decora to complete my own group (got 5 now) and noticed a couple.

they were called trachyglanis sp.and were red'ish as shown earlier this thread.

@november: there must be some delay then, I had an information, that the westie-import incoming on the 2.11. Do you know, if they sell direct after the arrival, without acclimatizing the fish? PS: I think, I have more informations I ever dreamed of now. i can tell belonoglanis'(as many others) have...

it is amazing what fish you can put your hands on, though, the S.alberti i've asked for months ago still are too far away....


a PM is coming your way stan.
