I hesitate to call it spawning, as I saw no eggs, but that's kind of what it looks like to me.

I was on a ladder scraping algae from the glass of another tank when the flavus cats caught my attention. Of course I left my phone in the house charging, so after observing for several minutes, I made a ...

You can sort of accomplish this in the existing scheme.

Create population1.
Mark population1 as no longer kept.
Create population 2.
Go back and remove the "Stop Date" from population1.

Now you have two populations of the same species which can be kept in different tanks.

A first flush diverter can help deal with the dirt from the roof.

Things have been progressing in fits and spurts in my fishroom.

The one I'm most excited about is my 40 breeder below a south facing window, for which I took some inspiration from bekateen's kinon tank. My goal was to get as much caustics (shimmer) and hard shadows from plants all cast on the sandy ...

I can now suggest Cupramine as a method for killing it. Though it's not 100% guaranteed.

Shortly after this thread was made I resolved to try to tackle the problem in my tanks. I removed all the fish and as many cherry shrimp as possible from the tanks to be treated, and I dosed the Cupramine as ...

Looks like my aquarium #2 has updated. What ever you are doing, seems to be working

Aquarium #11 has changed to the updated photo. Aquarium #2 is still the old one

I've been trying to update the photos of a few of my aquariums but it's not successfully updating on the My Aquariums page (my aquariums #2 and #11). I go through the motions and it doesn't give any obvious errors, so I don't know if it's user error or not.

It does show the correct new photos on ...

From the descriptions on the product it sounds like it may be the same thing (betel nut) as No Planaria. Which has successfully eliminated hydra for me.

The tanks I've used it (No Planaria) in had paleatus corys, otos, L010a whiptails, and various loaches and seemed to have had no ill effect on ...

I don't have any plecos, so I could only guess. If there were a commonly available pleco species that is easy to care for and eats this sponge, I would certainly be interested in hearing about it .

But from my experience so far, I can tell you otos, cherry shrimp, and amano shrimp don't eat it.

I will second freshwater sponge. Probably from the genus Ephydatia.

I have some as well, and the only problem I have is it's in a planted tank and it kills plants it covers, it spreads by spores if you move anything from an infected tank to another, and I have yet to discover a way to kill it other ...

And I'm sure you're all on it already, but it looks like the Cat-elog for H. osvaldi might have some copy-paste errors in it. As I'm sure it's not from Lake Tanganyika nor "Could be confused with Synodontis polli"

My assumptions would be that they would eat the shrimp, but my experience suggests that maybe cherry shrimp aren't terribly tasty.

Another shot just showing more of the shrimp ...

adjusted the color to a faint blue. My main light bar doesn't do an evening sunset fade, so it's either on or off. My Tatia and Microglanis are very nocturnal so I don't see them in the daytime. I'm hoping the light bar will allow me to see the fish at night without disrupting their behaviors ...

@OregonOutdoorsChris will you be at FIN-DIG 2024 in Sacramento this weekend (June 22-23) or Fishtoberfest in Portland on Sept 28-29? I'll be at both, and speaking at Fishtoberfest. If you make one or the other please introduce yourself to me. I enjoy meeting other PlanetCatfish people.

There's ...

I'm excited to see how this turns out!

I tried doing something similar last year.
PXL_20221212_055330693.jpg
I got about 9months of decent plant growth but it ultimately ended in failure. Don't try using coco coir wrapped around egg crate light diffuser as a jump start of your raft. The coir ...

Yeah, they're normally chubby and also prone to over eating. I've always got the worry in the back of my mind that this might mask the early stages of bloating, but I've been fortunate to not have to deal with that yet.

As far as other good tank makes, the list really is endless. If it doesn't fit ...

I would think two should be fine together in a 55gal. Mine never cause any harm to each other, at most the occasional tail slap or head butt seems to be all that's needed for the bigger fish to tell the little fish to move.

I think corys are a fantastic tank mate! Since corys don't use hides, there ...

I'd be curious to hear more about your experiment with Ovaprim in the water column. What was the dosing you used?

1. They prefer softer water, but they appear to be rather robust, with one of the raphaels I rescued was living ~15years in what was tantamount to brackish water (tank was heavily encrusted with salt scale), and it acclimated to my more neutral water with no hint of an issue. So your parameters are ...

This happened on both Chrome on PC and Chrome on Android.

Interestingly, now if I log out, I am able to log back in through that path without the error.

I'm getting an error when trying to login from the front page. I found there's a login form at the bottom of the forum page and fortunately that works so I can report the issue

Indeed! And being a woodcat tank, I always knew the weekly photo was going to be about the plants. I just never anticipated the observable growth to be almost entirely the Riccia and java moss.

And here's the update I had planned to make, I have reached 1 year of having my perugiae tank restarted. I've been taking a weekly photo to document the changes over time. There's nothing special or dramatic and the catfish stay hidden, but it's a project I've been diligently sticking to so I'm ...

It's been a while since I've shared any updates, life has been busy and progress in the fish room has been slow. That said I got a surprise sighting of my Microglanis tonight which I figured I'd share. I had withheld pellets from the tank for a few days, and apparently the flakes weren't to its ...

Some of it is in the internet archives...

Nice! I am also surprised they survived the geos. Maybe the geos learned to avoid them due to the spines <shrugs>

Any thoughts on the use of nutritional yeast (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritional_yeast) as a B vitamin supplement for those of us with smaller fish?

How about the common bullhead does not get very large

I come across Cottus gobio while searching the internet, is this the one you are talking about?


They're likely referring to Ameiurus , and not the sculpin.

You previously mentioned Corydoras paleatus , another option might be ...

Mine have maxed out at the about 4 inch mark.
