I am wondering if the fish was stressed to start with. the tank seems crowded and if you did the water change, that could have set it over the top

too crowded in the 5footer???

like I said, they'd been in a smaller tank prior to that, with the 50%water changes.

and they had been quite active ...

Baryancistrus do seem to be very sensitive fish. I have only keep the large spotted Gold Nuggets but they were to the most deilicate of plecos I have kept. However, I have never had a problem during water changes. I use Prime which I add in slightly more than the recommended dose to the residual ...

I use Seachem safe, and always slightly overdo the dosage (1.2dose, but this is safe to use up to 5* dose, which would be for ammonia/nitrite detoxification) so shouldn't be a problem with chlorine.

also did the water change yesterday night, and at least 1 of them was perfectly fine then, and this ...

as the title said, just lost my 2 LDA33 at the same time, with no reasons.

I had 2 LDA33 in a tank with 4 L213(possibly, identified on here a while back) 12 Geophagus Tapajos OH and 4 Mesonauta festivus (also Tapajos) their in a 5by18by22" tank, recently moved (2weeks ago) (all the fish that is ...

I'm not importing them, and hes not getting boxes in specifically for me. I get an email from him for the upcoming orders. (as a previous customer I'm on the mailing list)

he's previously brought in stuff from Colombia as well as orders from Jeff Rapps and Don Conkel (though those were mostly ...

fair few catfish on there, and zebra plecs if anyones interested

details all in the document if you wish to get any

reason I ask is Jeff Rapps has "wild caught" L46 in.

Hypancistus zebra 2” $275.00 L 46 – yes, the ultimate small Hyp. species-wild ‘Imperial Zebra’ plecos!

I've not heard anything on those export laws being changed, and nothing came up via google. But then I ...

nothing as of yet.

CSG is going to be there, (as they were last year) TA Aquaculture will have a stall there, and there will be plenty of books available (some great deals on some of the corydoras books at the moment.)

hopefully nearer the time there will also be an auction list put up to show ...

click on the picture to visit the BCA website, where more information will be updated as we get closer to the date

Its also likely that there will be some stuff to do with the CSG there as well

just a thought, what are these like in hard alkaline water??

just considering them as tankmates for my Zoogoneticus quitzeoensis. I was going to leep them in with firemouths, however from what I've just read in the PFK magazine that although they can tollerate 24c(75f), they prefer 16-18c(61-65f)in ...

I would have liked to give them a tank with more appropriate temperatures, however I'm banned from getting more tanks, and the only ones with an acceptable temperature range house Mbuna (not ideal tank mates)

I do plan to replace them with C. Sterbai. though currently debating whether to get them ...

what is the average lifespan for a peppered cory.

I've got 2 that are about 5 years old, and their starting to look old, and pretending their dead, (lying motionless on the floor at funny angles (including upside down)) before bustling off in another direction.

now I know them temps aren't great ...

thanks.

any ideas??

I saw those and thought gu'old

shouldn't watch so much stargate...

interesting fish,

screen keeps flashing red when I put the cursor near the buttons on the top

disappears about 1/2sec when the cursor is removed

Using Firefox 2.0.0.7

supposed to be L183 however given i only counted 8 dorsal rays it obviously isnt. was sugested here that it might be a L213, however without profile shots i have no idea.

have you got any profile shots of them

i did a fair bit of googling and found nothing (apart from it also being called Ancistrus sp small spots) the L213 results were mostly just lists of all the known catfish

I bought these as L183's however given they only have 8 dorsal spines its obvious their not.

i grabbed a few photos, unfortunatly their all from above the water, so the quality isnt the greatest (however its better than if i tried from the side, its a plastic container their in at the moment. so ...

took several shots, i can only cout 8 spines.

but here anyway

didnt get them at the time, but i might do. i now have a 10% discount with the shop. so will make a visit up there to get them. (just so i can see the fish in the flesh to make sure i get what i order, after previous mail order fish i'm completly paranoid)

thanks.

will try and get a good photo to count them them,

though its slightly stressful would taking it quicly out the water and getting the photo be the best way to do it,

saying that i could just wait 3-4 weeks for them to finish quarantine

will try and get some better pics when they settle in.

i bought them from pleco aquatics (saw them as addvertisers here)

there are deffinate dots visable, however i'd need to put them in a glass tank to get good photos,(the plastic makes images milky) 2 of the fish are deffinatly showwing white ...

theres 2 terracotta pots in there, as well as the pebbles in the photo.

my only concern is 2 of these fish are showwing a huge amount of bristles compared to the profile shots. i'f estimate the 1s on the 6-7cm fish to be about 5-6mm long.

will try and get a good profile pic to show what i mean ...

their in the Q tank. grabesd a few quick shots

their arriving in the morning, been told their in more or less what i keep my malawis in. (pH 7.8 Kh6 Gh4) however i want to move them in with my geos once they've finished quarantining.

the geos are currently in at pH of 7 Kh1-2 Gh not detectable. how the Kh is up "that high" i dont know as it ...

bought 4 instead

i also doubt the it being glass in the tank, as regard the tought about plants it was due to a post made a while back about a panque whod got implaed on a rhizome of a sword or java fern. and had 2 nasty gashes on its underside.

treating with melafix, may pick up some primafix just in case.

any ...

I've just noticed 2 cuts on my corydoras paleatus.
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f69/PsYcHoTiC_MaDmAn/P4062470.jpg

now shes active enough, and dosent seem to be having any oroblems swimming (though i will be adding melafix just incase.)

I know my tank is a little hot for them (29c, but i ...
