Nice collection.

Why don't you use the "My Cats" feature - find the species in the Cat-eLog, and "add" it to your "My Cats". That way, your collection of catfish will appear next to your posts all the time.

Hi Carter,
Yes, all nice species but the latest addition is one that needs the 190litre tank on its own.

No idea how big any of the fish are and from your previous posts I assume they're one of each all in the same tank. I think you could have problems anytime soon with overloading the tank, competition and filtration not able to cope.

Maybe time to consider more tanks and getting more individuals of the same species.

From your previous posts, I assume you've lost the starlight Ancistrus. Any fish losses need to be looked into thoroughly(causes etc) before considering new stock.

There's nothing wrong with keeping individuals of nice species but they'd generally prefer company of their own kind rather than other species.

Good luck,
Mark.

All true,
There all small. The l114 being only 2"
Your right the starlight vanished he was tiny. All the pleco seem happy and feed well.
The tank has tetra's in it. They don't seem to do very well often dying

To assist you with aquarium problems people are going to need a little more information.

Temperature, Tank Size, Filters, your Maintenance routine, results from any test you may have taken, how long has the tank been running?

What type of Tetras have you had problems with?

Pictures can help to along with that information.
