Re: Microsynodontis pics

Yup, these are all M. polli . I could never find any differences between the spotted and unspotted forms (except for the color pattern).

Thanks!

I have been thinking the spotted ones may be juveniles...are your spotted ones smaller than the others.

These are highly variable in pattern.

Chiloglanis spec are not eating

Since a few weeks I have some Chiloglanis sp.

I suppose they are the same as all the other Chiloglanis sp who are now in Europa for sale.

About there behavior: They are always sitting at the same spot at the glas (in an area of 5x8 cm) so it's not really moving. I've seen them by a friend of mine ...

Re: Phractura ansorgii (African Whiptails)

Very good to hear there are some still alive! Good work!

I wouldn't go for a 30 liter tank. I don't know if they are territorial, but i guess the are (at least a little bit), so space could be a problem and you have to keep the water really clean for them.

I don't know if you have some fish in ...

African catfish

Hello,

I bought a group of these fishes. They were sold as Acanthocleithron chapini but i don't think it's a chapini. They are from congo.

Anyone got an idea?
