Welcome! Glad your back in the hobby. Good luck with your pandas!

I cannot access the site either. Must be having a new problem.

I kept some L46 and L260 together many years ago thinking they looked so dissimilar that they wouldn't hybridize and was unpleasantly surprised to find out that what I thought were baby zebras where L46/L260 hybrids. Since then I have never mixed Hypancistrus again. I don't think I will ever mix any...

Good job! Those are some nice looking adults you have!

Are those Catfish native to Belgrade? I certainty hope one wouldn't release non native fish into one's rivers!

Are you talking about these. I use http://www.onlineconversion.com a lot. They might have something like what you're looking for.

I'd say I'm slightly interested but not really because I don't know what your doing with the fin clippings. DNA analysis. But what are you doing with the DNA analysis. What are you trying to find out? Are you going to publish your findings? Do you just want to do it to do it? What am I or the PC com...

Maybe we'd be more interested if you provided more details of what's involved on one's end. No one wants to touch their Zebras if they think its going to hurt or kill it. You haven't convinced me from this thread to do anything or that you even know what your doing yet as the post starts with you as...

Very Nice. Hope I get the chance to get a group sometime.

You should be able to mix and similar size species together in that size tank.

Try AquaBid, several of those species are on there.

Very Nice. I can't wait to add it to my library!

Yes, thanks for sharing. I had heard they gave this talk there and was really disappointed I didn't get to hear it. Thanks for sharing some of the slides. I'm normally afraid to see any tank hanging in the 90 Degree mark. I never would have thought to crank the heat up that high! I wonder what some ...

Great post Larry. Keep up the good work.

Yes it can be very frustrating getting them to eat pellets. I suggest doing a forum search as I know its been discussed several times before. Good Luck.

Since IE9 doesn't install on Windows XP I have a feeling IE8 will be around for the foreseeable future.

Very Nice. Good choice on the fish.

Ironically the same here as well. Obviously only time will tell how well of a replacement they are. Fingers Crossed.

I was just going to look up some info in the catelog and at least on l-numbers and c-numbers none of the pictures show. Just a red x. Tried it on my phone as well to make sure it wasn't the pc.

You should definently wait a couple months anyways as USPS express is horrible and a 30-40% chance of second day delivery. Too cold to mess around with 2nd Day deliveries this time of year. Also, 2 fry per box is like shipping an empty box with water. Why only 2 fish per box, baby plecos are very li...

Since you mention it I have seen videos of Gold Nuggets being caught by fisherman in submerged logs in the Xingu.

While your tank was cycled; it was only cycled enough to handle the load of a single tetra and the shrimp. Its very possible when you restocked your tank it cycled again as the bio load you put on it was significantly more than what it was currently handling. I'd do a ammonia, nitrite, nitrate check...

Larger tanks are great for the fish but in order to get fish to breed they also need very clean water and for me the problems with big tanks is the amount of water needed to do a 50% water change. I don't know how many gallons your tank holds but if its a 200-300 gallon your going to need 100-150 ga...

There was an article in TFH or FAMA on this. It said something like a 20% water change only removes equivalent of 1 days worth of pollution. So by tomorrow it would be as if you never did the water change today. I change 50% 1-2 times a week on most of my tanks. Some times if I forget I'm draining a...

I think the idea of a paludarium is a very neat one. Your filter idea sounds doable. You didn't mention any tank information and how many gallons of water it would actually hold. I have no experience with that tetra but looks like it could possibly pose a threat to fry.

Usually when I buy fish I have to have them shipped so I don't get to pick out sex. To make sure I get some females in the mix I always order a minimum of 6 fish. Usually anywhere from 6-12 depending on the amount of money I have to spend at the time and the price of the fish. So most of my groups a...

With a PH of 8.4 I think your going to be hard pressed to spawn about any fancy pleco. I have heard of L204 being spawned at that PH though. You can get a decent RO unit for around $150. I used to run to the grocery twice a week before I got an RO unit. I should have just bought it up front. IME a R...

The main problem with wild caught fish is acclimating them and making sure they don't have any bugs on them. The fish you mentioned will due fine at 8-8.4. Probably won't breed but will live just fine. I'd fill your 20 gallon up with half tap half RO. You should use a QT tank anyways. Acclimate your...

Looks like an L333 to me.
