catfish

Hi everyone,   Today, my sucking catfish started going to the right hand side of the tank and swimming in large circles along the glass repeatedly, in a very fast paced manner. He has never done this before and is still doing it as I type  .  A possible reason that I think could have caused it...

Hey.   I'm planning a new aquarium. I want to know which kind of corydora catfish I should go with. Bronze, or peppered? There will be a lot of plants, and tank mates. Guppies, tetras, and danios. I want a fish that will be active, friendly, and fun to watch. Thanks.

I switched my tank on this morning, to be greeted by my two smaller catfish, both of them sporting red outlines on their mouths. I am pushing things hard, I have to go out on "mercy errands" this afternoon, just managed to put the computer on now to post message. I have set up an 8 gallon...

My more reclusive catfish has finally come to the front of the tank with its mates, after two and a half weeks of sulking in the back. Now that it has, I am wondering whether it is actually a Julii....as you can see from the photo I took this afternoon, it does look rather different. Apart from...

Today I lost one of my pictus catfish and I have no clue why. It started only this morning not being able to control its body, floating on its back and sides bouncing into the sides and driftwood. about 2 hours later, it had died. Now my other pictus catfish is doing the exact same thing. It's...

Hello,  I just started my tank and one of the additions was a Pictus. It seems to be pretty erratic, including darting back and fourth in the current where the filter dumps back in to the tank. Just want to make sure everything is alright. My guess is just new environment stress induced but I...

Planing to get a 20 gallon for my nephew's room, was wondering what is the max number of fishes I can put in it. What I mean by that is, which kind of fishes I can put in there without overcrowding it. Already plan on putting 4 corys in there, no angelfish since I know they need their space, any...

Hello, i have a twenty gallon tank that i would like to add a catfish into. I have seven guppies, a snail and a red cherry shrimp. Is there any species of catfish that i can keep with my fish and inverts without having to get a whole bunch of them. I want only one, not a whole bunch, just one...

I have a 30 gallon with 10 neon tetras and a betta. I'm thinking about adding a banjo catfish to this tank, but I'm not sure if they banjo would eat the neons or betta. Is it safe to keep a banjo catfish with neons and a betta ?

Hello! Just over a month ago, I started up my first 20g freshwater fish tank. So far I have five cherry barbs, one dwarf gourami, a spotted Raphael catfish, and a beta fish. All has been going fairly well, but about two weeks ago I noticed a few of my barbs having long white stringy waste (which...

Hi im new to the forum and mainly on here in concern of my pictus catfish I went from a 25 gal to a 75 gal tank and put new decor in and the catfish took residents in a tree stump and has become VERY territorial running out and even chasing any louch or roseline shark out and away im concerned...

ok well just suddenly my threadfin rainbow died, the day before he seemed perfectly healthy but i just got him 2 days ago from the lfs so maybe something was already wrong with him but either way i couldn't see anything wrong with him but the next day (today) i just noticed my spotted cory was...

I’m not a big time fish keeper, so I’m not the most educated beyond the basics, but I do love my fish and am worried about one of them. Can any experts tell me what’s wrong with my Bristlenose? He’s not acting any differently, he just suddenly has these lumps on his head. I’ve already asked on a...

Hi everyone,   Just wondering if you were to feed a catfish pellets would the other fish eat it before them? If so, would sinkable pellets be better. Any suggestions would be great.   Many thanks,   Fishyfish890

I have a 35L fish tank, which I have had for nearly 6 months now, I cycled it all and then got my 2 corydora catfish and 1 dwarf gourami and 2 platy's. Everythink seemed to be going well except my one catfish died but since then everything had been fine until 3 weeks ago and I went out for the...

Hi I bought these 2 new Pangasius 2-3inch catfish from my local fish shop. They looked healthy no signs of ill health. I  transported them back home which took about 5-6 hours since we live very far away.    The following evening I noticed whitespot disease and flashing on the gravel so I...

Hello,  I just set up a 10 gallon, lightly planted tank last night and have started cycling it today (fishless cycle).    My original plans for the tank were to get a female betta and 8 pygmy cory catfish. However, when I was at my local fish store I noticed that they do not sell the pygmy...
