Yeah thats it m8. Cant really get any better pics at the mioment as it hasnt totally settled and still just hides out a lot. Got him eatin tho so looks ok. They had quite a few of them in Pier £22. Goes well in an oddball tank if you ask me, doesnt look much like a catfish really

Ok m8, used my charm, I will take both. I dont wanna see any tears as I take him tho :)

Looking good m8. See you decided to sell the distochidus then. How much you lettin him go for? Still on for Sunday btw. Just gotta try an convince her indoors that we need a second fish of you :shifty:

I use dry River shrimp. Most shops sell it, its used for Turtles. They float which helps and mine seems to love them. Tbh though, mine is much more interested in frozen bloodworms when I feed them. To give it a chance at eating them, put them in still frozen/half frozen. They float then as your...

Ok, heres what I have left 1xGold Saum 7xTinfoils 3xHoplos 2xParrots Everything else has gone depending on being picked up.

I'm in walton, just outside the tunnel. I know what you mean about getting attached. I love my Green terror and EBJD, but know they arent really compatible in this once its stocked. Wish I had another tank for them tbh. Got rather attached to the sev too which surprised me, hes grown into a...

Yeah, pretty much what I'm doin with this m8. I will take that Eel. I will have reduced the stocking to 1xOrnate Bichir, 1Senegal Bichir, 1xFlagtail 1xStriped Headstander an a Plec then, so will have plenty of room for more, let me know if you are selling the Distochidus as I will deffo be...

I dont drive sorry m8, I couldnt do it. Thought you just bought that Fire Eel Simon? What you after for it and the Distochidus actually, I was gonna ask you about that in another post the other day. I really want a Fire Eel, keep backing out though for some reason

Yeah ok, that sounds good to me, an as you were first they are yours it seems, Sorry Simon. Give me a Pm to sort out picking up etc..

Yeah thanks m8. I am planning a total oddballs tank now though. the foils are even bigger now they look immense in their shoal, I was tempted to keep them actually but it takes up room for other oddballs. Just bought a flagtail, its funny watching him think hes a tinfoil, and them treating him...

Just a few pics of them as requested. In terms of the Clown Loaches Degsod can you let me know asap please so I dont keep Simonas waiting. Also can you both let me know the tanks and stocking you will be keeping any fish in, so I know they are going to a good home, already know urs Simonas...

Ok, nice fat ones they are too. One has a very distinctive black circles on as part of its colouration. I can post some pics later if you like?

Hi, I am changing my 180gal over to oddballs so need to sell a few current occupants; Not sure what I'm meant to do with this form sorry, so gonna put it up here. Livestock Age and condition: good condition/had for roughly 1 year Quantity for sale: 12, possibly closer to 15 Reason for Sale...

Looking good m8. I was so tempted today in there myself but managed to restrain for now. My lid isnt good enough at the minute. Just a quick question, I bought a Flagtail there today, along with my catfish. All the flagtails i see are like yours with the orange an black tails but mine is...

Theres a shop by me, a little kids pet shop ( you know the kind) always selling these for £3 m8, around 3-4". Never ever a warning on their tank either. Lovely fish tho, wouldnt mind gettin one when i upgrade my 180gal actually

I never got a pic m8. Not sure it was on sale or a rescue. It would have ur arm, never mind fingers. It was amazing

U see that catfish in the cold section? Must have been 3ft, as wide as me, a real monster

Phalacronotus bleekeri Think thats him. says 23" for size. Thats by far the closest to him

Nice, another victim to the snakeheads. Just got back from a place selling sp. fire and ice, I was tempted but nowhere to put them for now :rolleyes:

I just nearly bought a very similar specimen from Pier, yours from there? They were lovely ones they had

yeah, its deffo not a pang. The more I look the less it looks like a knife actually, although is similar to the above one I mentioned, I hope not though as that would mean a bigger monster than the pang. Its stumped me. The tail is a normal tail fin it seems. Its fins arent in good condition so...

Just found this, It looks very similar to this. Dont think it is though Gymnarchus niloticus Looks like it in the head and shape, not convinced in the finnage though Here are some pics, best I can get as he's hidin out at the minute Very poor pic of his tail Any help to anyone?

Title says it all really. This looks like a Knife-fish to me but the head is different. The head is more laterally flat than vertical if that makes sense. With a long slim body in exactly the same mould as a knife. Its a silvery blue as the name suggests. Cant find anything like it on a search...

Yeah, came across the tawny in my searches, thats not it tho, its definately not a catfish. I am convinced its a knife of some sort. Just the head throwing me off. Gonna try an get some pics now.

Haha, yeah Tinfoils are insane arent they. I've got 7 in my 6ft now, 3 regular and 4 red tail. All about 7" so its tough getting food to my Bichirs. Might try that pipe thing n1 :good: I will still be looking into more snakeheads I think m8. I am going to keep the sole on his own for a bit to...

Hello m8, slightly different from the Snakeheads ur right, lol. Bte the assams hasve started their courtship dance already. I can sense the patter of tiny fins soon. They are dancing all the time now. As for the sole, its a novalty more than anything, but I do like the unusual fish so should be...

Fine with the Goby, not sure on the figure 8 tho. Neale gave me a decent list in my other thread below this one. Have a quick look at that he lists a lot of fish compatible, no mention of the Puffer tho.

Well, at the moment there's nothing but 2 Minnows in there so hopefully if I cant get him feeding on anything else he will snack on a baby shrimp. There are tonnes in there, a lot more than I thought. I see what you mean about B. orientalis. It looks very similar to the pics I've just seen on...

Thanks again Neale. Yeah I had it down as panoides, however all the lit I've read so far says that panoides are more oval than pan, which is slimmer and as its common name suggests shaped like a tongue. He's already settling in burrying in the sand. Just got to try an get him eating now. I know...

just a few pics, love this guy. He's in a 48"x15"x12" that is fresh at the moment but will be gradually upped to brackish over the next month or so. Any ideas which of those two species this actually is? I cant tell the difference

I know you said my Cherry shrimp would be good for this tank Neale. I have been moving things round today and got my Sole, I have also ordered the salt so it will be in fresh for a week or so then salt will be added very gradually. Anyway, on moving round the massive Java fern and removing the...

Yeah thought that. Could be good to keep down the shrimp populations and I'm sure 10 BBG's will be good for that too

Thanks Neale, gives me a good insight into various species I can go with. I was thinking about BBG's as I've had these before but I wasn't too sure on them with the Sole, had suspicions it would be ok though. I already have Nerite snails and Cherry shrimp in there now actually so thats good. I...

Hi, I have a 4ft 40gallon tank lying round with not much in so I have decided to go Brackish. I plan on adding a few Halfbeaks (bought my first today). Plus I am buying what I believe to be a Tongue Sole Brachirus pan. or B. panodes. These are listed as River Sole but they are almost certainly...

How much you after, I will try the charm with the missuss :unsure:

You still got this? Is it in good condition?

Im in Liverpool, not sure i could afford them though I'm afraid, I cracked the original tank for these so had to fork out another £120 on their new tank. The missuss is already not pleased with me :shifty:

haha, seems nelly could breed a bristlenose with an elephant though, everything he touches. :rolleyes:

Thanks Krib, I did think that, but on closer inspection he has effectively turned it into a cave. on the left hand side of the pebble is the glass of the tank which he has cleared completely, but, on the outside of the tank at that spot is the light adapter thing, so it is still dark in there...
