David R Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Does anyone still keep catfish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculator Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Yes, they are my favourite sort of fish. It is disappointing the lack of variety we get in NZ, but currently I keep chocolate talking cats, hoplo cat fish and feather fin syno. I want more, but I can't find any more in NZ that will go with my cichlids. I tried pictus a few months ago, and they got eaten with in 5 minutes of getting released, so am cautious about getting smaller fish since that.

disgustipated Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 yep, i have been focusing on my breeding group of port hoplo. Have had one spawn so far, approx 200 fry, many got eaten by bad parents but I managed to save a few which are doing well. next spawn I will remove parents immediately! aaaanyway. why do you ask david?

David R Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Very nice! I saw the top half of the pic and had to do a double take, looks remarkably similar to my pic from the other weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyGeoff Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Very nice! I saw the top half of the pic and had to do a double take, looks remarkably similar to my pic from the other weekend! Even though there is only one of the same fish, and you have removed the wheel's from your bin, I see the similarity. :nfs: the both of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Here's one of my rare Bristlenose Remoras... And buckethead ancistrus... And a ringneck catfish... I can only conclude from the last two that fish are morons. And I have a lot of crap that's fallen in my tanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 That first pic is an oldie but a goodie. Even though there is only one of the same fish, and you have removed the wheel's from your bin, I see the similarity. Good spotting Detective Geoff!

Just sold my mature long fin calico female as I don't have a male for her. This section is unlikely to disappear with 3 or more of the exec passionate about their plecs Lack of traffic won't make a section disappear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
