Caryl Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Have you ever thought of keeping a few catfish Rob? :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Never really considered keeping more than a few - really they're just the clean up crew behind the real fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfish_dude Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 What catfish are you breeding/ breed Rob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 The ones that I've successfully bred (ie got them to a reasonable size) so far are: Pygmy cory Sterbai cory Whiptail cat (Rineloricaria cf eigenmanni) Spotted clown pleco Brazilian butterfly pleco Bristlenose Royal whiptail (though only had a few survive to a reasonable size) I've had spawnings and fry (but not surviving to a good size) of Twig cat and Rubberlipped pleco (the juveniles I now have are from a guy in upperhutt who bred them). The ones I'm trying to get to do something at the moment are the 2 types of twig cats. There is also a half-hearted attempt at a couple of types of cory and the smaller clown plecos.

Rob Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Hey CatBrat, a few questions about your possible hybrid syno: does it have sort of scribbled white stripes on a dark background, did it cost around the $10-20 mark. The reason I ask is that your 'zebrinus' makes me think of that colour pattern also the 6cm size means it could be a juvenile - young feather fin synos have this colouring, and when they come in they're in this cheaper price range.

Doc Holiday Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 I have a Leopard Peckoltia (L008) I think or it is a similar variation of this not quite sure exactly. And 4- baby bristlenoses arriving this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatBrat Posted March 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi Rob, That sounds like a great collection . I know what you mean about the patterning of the young feather fins, but they seem a lot more 'squggly' than the patterning of my one. Although it was sold to me as Feather Fin for $38.95. The strange thing is that there was also another tank with fish labled as a feather fin syno's but for $39.95 :-? . These other ones had the normal colour of young feather fins. My one looks more like the pictures of the 'Zebrinus Syno' on Planet Catfish in the Cat-e-log. www.planetcatfish.com. I will try to post a pic soon. Cheers, CatBrat.

andyman98 Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 rob would you sell some of your whiptail catfish?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfish_dude Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 nice Rob congats on the Brazilian butterfly pl*co........they are algae-eaters if I recall? Also are the Spotted clown pl*co's normal clown's? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I tend to think that the Brazilians are more carnivore (like zebra plecs) than algae eater. What I consider as the common clown pleco are the small Panaque maccus type (which have stripes), the spotted clown plecs grow larger (about 15cm) and I've only seen for sale once (took me sodding ages to track down a female). Yes I'm prepared to sell some whiptails, but I'm not sure about getting them to Nelson. Probably look at $10 each or 2 for $15 - they're not sexable at their current size - ideally I'd prefer people to pick them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
