COngratulations! I felt the same when I spawned by abn's since it was the first Loricariidae Ive ever spawned.

Very nice indeed! How many L173's do you have?

Nice Goonch.

I thought that was it but the online pics pale in comparison to that male displaying.

Next one, with something nice at the end. It also has some nice catfishes in it.

What cichlid is that at 1:29 ?

Wow. Just as I thought incredible. Thank you for posting them for us all. Now I have some new titles to add to my Christmas list...

Hello, I live in Nashville, TN and no I do not listen to country music. LOL. I have been keeping fish on and off since I was a teenager. I pretty much gave it up when my children were young, I have 5 and they are ages 23 to 36 now. I have been back into fish for the last 7 yrs, I started out with a...

You guys do an awesome job keeping everything updated and correct. I'd love to see the libraries you have.

Is that what they call a zebra Otocinclus (Otocinclo cocama var.)Tigre River)? Nice fish.

Dang, hate to hear that. Here in Texas if we have a little ice it shuts us down--did back in 2000, killed all of my uncle's fish except his weather loaches (coldwater, of course). Power was off for 2 weeks. If you decide you want to get back into the multis let me know. In the spring I'll break dow...

What made it was devastating as it was, was that it came so early, all the trees have most of their leaves yet. Big healthy trees were snapping apart under the all the extra weight of snow/ice. If it were to come at the end of the month, the same trees would have been fine since they'd have been bar...

We had a major snow storm on 10/29. I lost power for 5 days, just got it back today. My tanks dropped to 55*F. I've lost most of my fish including my male abn, 11 babies, my two pairs of S. multipunctata and most of my african cichlids. I just have a few yellow Labs left, 1/2 dead male Ngara peacock...

Did you try Unungy?

Thanks for the info. These were all released after smiling for the birdie.

Nice looking catfish..great find indeed.

Well, I wanted to have mix of fish from the same river with the plecos being the key species. I wanted to mix the others so the tank doesnt look "empty" and have listen to my wife complain that theres nothing in the tank. She's not an aquarist. Unless its got alot of gaudy decorations &...

PlecoCrazy wrote:What size tank are you planning on setting up?

It would be either a 55 or 75 gallon tank.

The pleco's I like are-
L-016, L-333, L-250, L-236, L-173,
L-172 & Hypancistrus sp. 'Lower Rio Xingu'.

I've been kicking around the idea, if my wife lets me set up a 2nd tank, I'd want to do a Rio Xingu biotope. Not much on net that I can find other then zebra tanks. Zebra's are not going to happen with my my budget. If you were to set up a Xingu tank, what would you stock it with? so far I can find ...

Great examples of different environments. Thank you. Glad to see another NA native fan. Try finding some darters for her. She'll love them or even a madtom. Where Im from in PA, our darters arent very colorful like the ones down by you. Need help finding some, look up NANFA.

I like it! Besides the pleco, what else are you putting in it?

Tappers wrote:Thanks Exasperatus, you're a star! That's definately the same fish - rock-hugging, swimming pattern, compact and not keen on appearing on camera. Nice tank by the way..

Thanks! I love how rich the colors are in it compared to the multi's. Wish I could find more.

in this case I think the whole common names thing flew right off the handle..... You are completely right! In the english language there are even more common names than in the german. Personally I don´t like it in both. I think it is very irritating and lots of the names just don´t fit. Just found ...

Took a video of mine to help out. I threw some shrimp pellets in for video # 2. I hate shrimp pellets, they're so messy. Also two of my Labs had just spawned so my multi's were a bit rammy. http://s250.photobucket.com/albums/gg257/exasperatus2002/Fish%20tank/?action=view&current=Synodontiscats00...

I have one similar to that. Was supposed to be a multi. I got it as at an inch from someone who bred it like a S. multipunctatus. But, its very shy compared to the 3 wild caught multi's I have it with. Deffinately has a different swagger to it then other multies. Someone once suggested its grandiops...

That was a good read. Thank you. Hi all, At 24.0oC, at mean sea level and 1013mb pressure, pure water (H2O) is saturated with 8.3mg/l O2. At 34.0oC with only 7.0mg/l O2, so yes temperature is important. You can ignore the effects of added solutes (what we call water is rarely H2O, and usually a dilu...

With Plecos that your keeping at higher then "typical" fish temperatures like L-333 or L-046. What methods do you use to increase oxygen saturation? In alot of the photos posted, I havent noticed a spraybar in the back of the tanks. So Im assuming, the prefered method is to have a power he...

page not found on your link silurus That's because the fish has been renamed Synodontis flavitaeniata got this from your link Fatal error: Cannot redeclare size_graphic() (previously declared in /home/webcat/planetcatfish.com/includes/new_functions/size_graphic.php:6) in /home/webcat/planetcatfish....

Thats sad to hear, both of your loss but that you may get out of it. They sell battery back ups, used alot for computers incase of power outtages you may want to look into. they also have battery operated air pumps (for live bait) thats handy in a pinch. I was lucky, I was out for 12 hrs & the f...

the length of 4.7" is marked oddly in the profile. Is the its true length or the only registered length? Ugungy's pic makes it look bigger. I like odd ball cats like that.

I saw one show of tanked so far. part reality show part really cool tank work. They've got skills but they dumb it down with reality tv style humor. Its worth enduring to see what they do.
