He does a very excellent job with his tanks and looking after his fish. They get a %40 water change twice per week, week in and week out.

Excellent photo's Taksan!

Here is a pic of one of my tanks.

I also have a 36 watt pond master UV on the outlet of the 2217. There is a heater in the tank but it has been turned off for almost 2 months now as I have a dozen tanks in a insulated garage.

You guys are legends!

thanks for giving me a good direction and the mods in doing a fantastic job!

Hello,

I have a colony of L075's which I would like to have a crack at breeding, does any know of anyone that has bred them? are they breedable or is this just a too hard basket?

If anyone has some tips I would love to hear and I will take some photo's of them and the set up soon.

cheers
Ben

Hello peoples,

I am very perdantic and tested my O2 levels which are 4.0mg/l im most of my tanks. This might seem strange but i wish to up the O2 to 6-8 mg/l whats the best way of doing it?

To give you an example I have a 240 litre tank with a top trickle filter, eheim 2217 with a air difuser and ...

Cyclop-eeze seems to work the best!

here is a photo.

These red whips are growing well, i have them past their early delicate stage!

Hi Peoples.

I just wanted to share some photo's of my Aspidoras.
(real aspidoras not peppered cory's! LOL)

Cheers

What's the best method and food people find feeding them.

Thanks
Ben

Very interesting Shaun and excellent points.:D

I also have 5xRineloricaria eigenmanni in one tank with 6 of the Foerschi's and they look very different.

Different patterns, colour, head shape and tail length.

As Mat mentioned there are many whiptail species. If anyone else can shed more light on ...

Some much better pics!!

As promised some photo's of them.
:D

Photo's taken with an ordinary digital camera, soon i will take some better photo's of them.

Infomation is still very limited on these catfish so if anyone can shed more light on them please let me know.

Regards
Ben

Hi.

i have 7 adult red whiptails, 2 males and 5 females.

I need some tips to get them to spawn.

tank is 2x18x18
Ph 6.6
GH 3
temp 26.5

I water change 2-3 times per week.

Feeding all the good stuff, from wafers to pumpkin and zucchini.

Here is a photo of their housing.


Any ideas to get a spawn ...

Mine are the same red and stay that way 24/7.

I feed tetra bits twice per week.

hi peoples.

As we know success with the breeding of some catfish requires a
smooth current into their cave.

Is it possible to use an internal power filter like an Otto and have it turned upside down? Will this affect the runnings of the filter?

I just wondered as Internal power filters were ...

Thanks for the welcome.

I have 5 of them.
below is a pic of 2 of them.
sorry its not the best pic but
it gives you an idea...

Would love to hear from those that have and
breed them.

Ben

I just bought a small colony of these wonderful little cory's.

I know very little about them, if anyone could
shed some infomation about them it would
be much appreciated!

Ben
