If they're teh same ones I'm thinking of, they grow to about 4ft in length.

I always like the idea (although I don't always practice it) of several smaller heaters rather than one large one. It gives me peace of mind that if one fails (on or off) the other should prevent disaster before I can save things. Lets just say I'm once bitten...

Definitely a case of buyer beware. Scoundrels are everywhere!

I recall seeing one of those floating dead in one of the smaller lakes a few years ago. The koi they believe have been sterilized to avoid having a problem. No idea about the catfish. Years ago there was a ranger who used to walk around the place talking to everyone. He was a friendly old guy and told me they had turtles released in the lake. I have never seen any and he was murdered not long after so I could never find out. It probably would have been 20 years ago now.

The problem with most catfish is they want to hide away a lot of the time so you might not see them, especially looking from above.

If you have some softer wood in with them, you had better believe they will eat it. It is a slow process and you may only have to replace it annually.

I have bred danios and I don't separate them either. Beware of the bollocks people will try to tell you about doing this or that to make them breed...

It is truely a special kind of person who can ever get a picture of most of these fish!

This sounds like the typical pleco situation... I know it well.

Take those which look the most like the smudgespots and breed them with the other one you are getting and the existing one. They will slowly breed out the panda in them and become "pure" again over a few generations.

Duckweed is a nightmare when it gets into your tanks! Fortunately my angels eat it so I just have one tank growing it and harvest it every day as it multiplies exponentially.
-
So crazy geoff, do you have any offspring available? Particularly of the blue fin variety?

A bucket might do the job.

That really good going. I hope you can raise the leopard danios up. I would love to see someone breeding zebra and leopard danios. They're great fish to watch zipping around the tank.
