BK Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Just looking for some help here with identifying some guys that were drop on me in the weekend. Also what is the best food for them. Feeding Tetra crisps, Cichlid sticks(Zebra), Bloods worms (loach) and sinking pallets for bottom feeders for catfish. I'm going to move these guys on as I don't have the room for them or the set up. Moby the Zebra (I think) is such a character but think it better if they're with they own kind. Not looking for to much for them, less than what a LFS would charge for small fish and these guys apart from the SAE ( I think) are between 5-6 inchs and in great health. http://www.picturetrail.com/members/edit?p=27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I think the cat fish is Pimellodus pictus Don't trust it with smaller fish, it hunts at night. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Epalzeorhynchus kalopterus or Flying-fox It's an algae eater. Your pictus will act as a scavenger and eat almost anything. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Keep an eye on them if they are in with your Discus, some will suck on to sides of the discus. You will be able to see the marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I think that's just the Chinese Alage Eater that does that, not the Flying Fox from what I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 No not in with the Discus. Didn't think Zebra would like the low ph so in tank by them selves Put about 6 Guppies in last nigth only about 1cm long and they seem to have gone this morning??? Lovely looking fish but just not me. Rift lake tank would be great but this would have to be after the 6' Discus, Reef tank and predator tank so could be a little way off. Moderator Note: Your post has been edited, as it seems to have turned into a thread to sell your fish. If you have fish for sale or exchange, could you please use the appropriate forum. Thanks, Bill.

Sometimes I wonder why we try to help others with the results you tell us of your guppies. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I put the guppies in there 4 it. As I haven't seen it eat and there was a bit of food left over from previous feeding I didn't want to take the risk of it not eating so gave him something that I thought would tempt him. I'm happy that they are all eating now so there isn't food sitting on the bottom and they are looking good. I have lots of Guppies but only a small % that are worth keeping to breed so its either off to the pet shop as live feed or these guys.
