That looks very nice. Hopefully some fish go bonkers in that blackwater out of joy.

Re: Help with L52 Butterfly Pleco
D. picta lives in biotopes with a pH around 4. Your water simply doesn't seem to match their needs and instead of getting a third one I'd look for something in the P. vittata complex or maybe a Panaqolus species, they are good looking too and pretty similar in pattern. The oxygen level might be a p...

Re: Amblydoras nauticus spawned
This morning I collected the eggs that were laid over the weekend. It turns out there were two spawns, one which must have been laid Friday night (some of those eggs are already hatching) and another spawn that was probably laid Monday night or Tuesday night. In total, I collected over 550 eggs and ...

Re: Ram tankmates for L134
Hi @Hutchy1998. Welcome to PlanetCatfish! Peckoltia compta (L134) is a lovely fish. I keep mine in neutral pH water or slightly acidic (pH 5-7.5) at 83F and a TDS of about 100-150ppm (not by choice, but I don't buy RO water for home). I have never kept rams, so I can't comment on their suitability a...

Another spawn in the last 24 hours, 9 or 10 days since the last spawn. :-) Babies from the previous spawns are growing well, but I'm noticing that some of the younger fry are dying in the tank. IDK if it's a water quality issue from overfeeding (1x or 2x per day with live microworms and pulversized ...

Re: Setup for Pseudomystus heokhuii?
I finished a round of API General Cure. Today, as per the instructions, I gutted the tank to clean out any worms that might have been released. I then hit the fish with a round of Expel-P and Paracleanse. I didn't see any fish with worms but one male has a red inflamed anus. Fingers crossed that the...

Re: ID please? By catch with glass catfish
Indeed true. "Contaminant" is another word used in this context, and a better fit than "bycatch" since the fish wouldn't have been caught together.

Re: ID please? By catch with glass catfish
Okay. That was my other thought, but from the few pictures we have I thought it might be too robust.
I need to look up the different species in scientific papers to get more info on them. I know almost nothing about this group
Thanks HH.

With this paper published, does the revalidation of Microglanis cibelae become official? Or do additional steps need to occur before the revalidation is legitimate?
Thanks in advance,

Re: Is it worth adding an extra category to the "Further spawns" in BLOGs?
I was hesitant to include them, but did because if the fish are growing, they may have been moved to a bigger tank.
My guess is that in most cases they won't have been moved so I'm fine omitting that.

Re: Is it worth adding an extra category to the "Further spawns" in BLOGs?
Let me think about this. Some data, such days to hatching, max length at various ages, etc., will be tied together based on feeding, crowding and temperature parameters with each each spawn. Those don't intrinsically represent reproducible data but might be left as a single number such as (what is t...

Hi Jools, As I record data for repeat spawns, one thing that changes (usually growing or stabilizing at a higher number after initial spawns) is the egg count.

About 1/4 of the eggs and fry washed out from multiple rinses through the terra cotta pot. Reflecting back on the last spawn being only 130 or so eggs...
