  1. Lionfish - Hospital for 10 days - entire arm went blue / black.

    Snakebite - python - painful but that was about it.

    Dog bites - rabid do attacked me - about 50+ puncture wounds on my arms. That was probably the most painful. Still went back the next day to tell the dog I forgive him, and came back with another 10 puncture wounds. Tsk Tsk.

  2. Add some brochis in there. No need for something to detract from the scape. More cardinals would complete the look.

    But you're like me - in a while you'll get restless and change things up because living with the tank everyday is very different to looking at a picture of it once in a while over the internet.

  3. There are a couple of different colour morphs on the L010a

    I bred the lancelotas (real lancelota) not what phil was selling as blacks or whatever, but the fry were almost impossible to keep alive.

    I also had all the varieties he sold and a couple of others.

    The 'whites' came in from brooklands IIRC and were different to what were being sold by Phil.

    Have a search through my posts for pics on what were available at the time. That might help you out a bit.

    The lancelota is by far my favourite whiptail.

  4. Thats my pick Alex :) I had 'rios' before - the first lot to arrive in the country and before they were called Rios. There was so much debate at the time as to whether they were actually that fish, it was pretty unbelievable and I think there is a fairly detailed thread somewhere on here.

    Yes, I remember that well haha. I still stand by Rios as I had Id'd them - even if my methods were less than accepted. :rolfl:

  5. Odd. Those have being bred quite well AFAIK. I'm a bit out of touch with the fancy pleco scene at the moment. But that price is ridiculous.

    I dislike his comment about the colouration and mood - he'll find they go 'bluer' in oxygen rich water.

    Are L201s even being bred here? First I'm hearing of it. Typical hypan I suppose.

    But I'm most interested in the L130s being bred. http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/spe ... es_id=1284
