Faran Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Just wanted to know what everyone has lurking in their tanks these days. Quite often catfish are overlooked or unseen when visitors see tanks as they're often shy creatures that are best seen only during feeding times. Due to this, it's even hard for even us to remember what we have sometimes. Heck, I'm even starting to lose track so if you wanna just use this thread as an inventory checklist, it's in a section that you can come back and edit and update as you wish (I know I will).

I have: 1 x Rainbow Shark 3 x Bronze Corys My avatar is a photo I took of one of the corys. I assume the "bronze" refers to their colour? Mine seem to have quite a blue/green colour to them, is that normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharn Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 hey phyrestaata- did you get the L090 with the white tail or the L090c? just wondering what patterns the plain L090 has on em as i was looking into them a while back but couldnt see much pattern on them? the L090c looks very much like a royal IMO. i just LOVE goldline royals- how big is yours and any pics?

phyrestaata Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Hi ya its only wee at the moment. has a nice marbling pattern on its body and almost looks a bit greenish grey. It has a white lyre tail edged with black but as is a juvenile its hard to tell what it will grow up to look like. it also looks like an L203 but I guess time will tell... The royal is a beautiful fish, its about 15 cm at the mo. such a slow grower. Ive had him for less than a year now but he has doubled in girth if not in length, lol. Will get proper pics when I move them into their new 550 litre home. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Wow, we have some good collections of cats! Oh, tru. Mine are Gold Line Royals as well. The colour difference between golds and normals is a bit vague but the golds definitely have more contrast. Sorry to break it to y'all but loaches may be bottom feeders but definitely aren't catfish. Great fish tho! I have 11 good sized clowns that I'm parting with soon - they're on TradeMe at the mo. evil - thanks bud, catfish seem to be my latest passion as they go so well with discus.

CatBrat Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I only just got my Albino BN's so they are a bit young yet, maybe in a couple of months tho. Haha, I sold it because it was around 18cm, ate all my new rainbow fish, lol, and I needed the space for breeding. The guy who bought it got a bargin tho, he only paid $60 for it! Oh yea, and he would bite my finger, and not let go and that really hurts, hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
