Hi All   I bought two Banjo Catfish recently and both seemed to be thriving.  This evening, whilst vacuuming the gravel in my tank, I noticed large thick brown chunks of what looked like dead Banjo Catfish.  Having done a bit of reading around, it seems that these guys occasionally shed.  Could...

Wanted: Synodontis Lucipinnis / Synodontis Petricolas / Synodontis Multipunctatus 1" or larger Hoping to pay ~£6 ea. for Lucipinnis / ~£10 ea. for Petricola / ~£12 ea. for Multipunctatus I'm in the East Riding of Yorkshire area. Calling Global Moderators - how do I edit the thread title? Thanks!

Thanks for replying Lorne! Unfortunately I am up in East Yorkshire, so Plymouth is a bit far. I understand if you don't want to use a courier. You clearly love your Petricolas. Do you keep any other fish?

Hi Lorne So sorry for the delayed reply and thanks so much for replying!! I LOVE these guys and would be very grateful for the opportunity to purchase some of them. Where are you based? Also very interested in how you breed them! Please get back in touch. Mashup.

Thanks Wills No salt added - wouldn't risk it with loaches. Plants were from a highly reputable LFS but I admit to not rinsing them first (the LFS advised that this wasn't necessary). Most of the plants had been in the tank for a while, but that could be the cause. It's the speed with which the...

Hi the_lock_man I can't find any info re a 'standard format' in the pinned sections. Found the disclaimer and the PayPal advice. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks

    Hi Reeferbro and Wills Many thanks for your replies. No copper meds used at any time; slow addition of Anubias, Hygrophilia and Java Fern over the past couple of months but all small plants. Large pieces of bogwood, driftwood and rock for hiding places. Still clueless. All other fish are...

This morning: Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite: 0ppm Nitrate: 10ppm ph: 7 Other fish: Barbs Platys Swordtails Bristlenose Plec No unusual behaviour from any of the fish above. I lowered the temp on the heater shortly before the summer (?! :-) ) hit and the tank has stayed at about 26 degrees. I'm...

Hi. I had 3 polka dots, 3 yoyos and 2 zebras in a well-established 200 litre tank. A couple of weeks ago, following my usual weekly water change, all of them started to hide behind my filter. Previously they had all been very lively and bold as brass. Over the past 3 days all of them have died...

Hi. Does anybody have any of these guys for sale? If not, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Hi. I'm thinking about starting a single species tank for Atya Gabonensis (Vampire Shrimp) and would like to know the recommended tank size and conditions. If anyone has any experience of keeping these beautiful shrimp, I would be very grateful for some advice! 

Thanks again!

Thanks eaglesaquarium. So is one filter's spray bar enough surface agitation or should I get an air stone / curtain?

Hi All. I am currently running two tanks: one 125l and one 150l. The 150l is currently home to several botia and a couple of plecos. I have a large piece of bogwood with java fern attached on a smooth gravel substrate. The filter's spray bar gives some surface agitation, but I want to ensure...

Thanks Fluttermoth. Do you have any suggestions for suitable tank mates for yoyos? Thanks greenmumma. What size are polka dot loaches expected to reach?
