Catfish

How long has the tank been set up?

Two filters are better than one 8)

Here's another site with some more great aquascaping.... http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org/ Oh yes, I dream often.....

Yep, that's the one, they're great cleaners. As long as you don't end up with the very similar looking Flying Fox, labeled as an SAE, he won't do a thing for you...

Check this site out for some amazing set ups..... http://www.pbase.com/plantella/xxlarge_tank

angel obsessed - Doubt this helps but they do have some bumblebee's at the Animates here in Wellington...

I had a female like that once. Tried her with several different males and she hated them all no matter what. In the end I just sold her off and worked with my other ones instead. :-?

Nice work, they look fantastic

Ah, I see......8) Well, I am looking into getting the Adonis here if I can as it was my fav and was told beforehand that I could import mine without hassle, and well......didn't happen I'm also wanting to try working with the Scarlet too once my 6' is set up. But I will be keeping my eyes open for the more uncommon pleco's once I get going properly again. (I only got the Bristlenose to help cycle my new tank )

Very cool looking crab

When I kept mine I found that store bought cockroaches were the best (not too big though) and they always seemed more keen on eating them without too much hassle. If you don't have a lid on the tank you will want to kill them first to keep them from jumping out, even still mine would sometimes try to escape via the filter, although with the butterfly you should have a secure lid anyway as they are jumpers on there own. Other live bugs will work too. The butterflies can sometimes be shy in a new environment and can be a little reluctant to eat at first. Mine still very rarely touched the floating pellets preferring the live.

Has anyone ever come across the Dragon Goby (Gobioides broussonetti) here? I use to keep several of these beauties in Canada and would love to get my hands on some again.

Dixon1990 - As I understood it, the purpose is for people with actual hands on knowledge of the different types of plecos, hence why I listed my old collection and as a collection I no longer have so no confusion. If I'm wrong in assuming this I'm sorry, my mistake and I'll delete the list if need be. However I am hoping to replace my old collection with the alot of the ones I use to have if able to.

Ok, here's the list of my beauties that I use to own when I lived in Canada, unfortunately I had to give them all up when I relocated....
