In case you're still around You posted a picture of one of my favorite catfish, a synodontis. This catfish is great! 3+ shoal will do if it is indeed syno multi, but have lots of rocks, plants, bogwood etc around for them to hide in

People on here only seem harsh because they care about these fish, and what you are doing is hurting them. I made a LOT of mistakes starting out 5 years ago. I tried to take care of a singular elephant nose and a dragon goby (brackish fish) because I thought I could do it. Noooooope My...

Again... not a ciclid fan. Any more opinions from anyone else?

Well I was never too big of a fan of any cichlid besides the apistos. Most are diggers as you said, I just dont know of anythat would look great in a planted tank lol

I never really considered anything like that. Maybe an apistogramas or kribensis pair

It's established, a 125 that I just got 2 new lights for and plan to do some planting in (Only has a sword and some wisteria right now, quite sad) I have 3 nice big big pieces of bogwood, a fluval g6 (keep having flow problems), and an aquaclear 100 overhead filter_ current inhabitants 1x...

I can't find much info on this hybrid I have always wanted a syno. Granulosus. They are sooooo expensive though Then I saw one at my LFS and it was only $40 so I snatched it up, but as they gave it to me they explained it was a hybrid of a granulosus and ocelifer. My tank is a 125 gallon The...

I'm one one of the few US memebers on here! the fish mentioned I allready have too

UPDATE! 38 gallon stocking 7x Cardinal Tetra 4x Shwartz Cory 1x Julli Cory 1x Tiger pleco (till it reaches full size, then goes to 125) 1x Syno. Flavientatus 1x VT angel 125 Gallon 1x Senegal bichir (albino) 1x Upside down asian cat 1x Blue Phantom Pleco 1x Syno angelicus Now! probably...

your bala shark is way too big for that tank. He's going to get to a foot long eventually and can eat that guppy. I think guppies prefer groups, like 6 of them. I think like 10 guppies and the eel would be ok with the upside down cat, but that bala shark needs to go back.

that white substance is not good IMO. I've seen that before on an eel and I think you can physically take that off if you can net him. it is from his skin healing IMO, but it's not good for him per say. The sand could help take the substance off though, yes. While he is digging in it it might...

I have kept multiple peacock eels. One thing that will help him is sand. you have gravel right now. As you might know, these guys love to dig! Sand helps with that. Gravel can hurt him and kill him over time if he keeps digging in it. please get him some sand

So at my LFS I was sold a "black lancer" and was told the white line in lancers are geographical as this one has white dots. Extreemly happy to find a rare find as the black lancer, I jumped at it. Turns out he's an even more elusive fish it seems.... then I notice the guy starting to swim...

Amazing job man! Way to not start of with the 2.5 gallon with 5 danios! IF those plants are live, you have a lot of respect from me

I just got one, it's been running 1 day, and I like that it can tell so many things about the water. What do you all thing about filters with this new technology?

Remember, the senegal is a MUST! From past experience, a senegal doesnt tend to bug larger african butterflys, but since he's constantly at the surface, he still seems to bug them. I'm pretty stuck on synodontis, and an addition of a black lancer cat if I can find one. I just got a VT angel...

they seem safe. I want one now!

looks like they might uproot plants?

wisteria. Easiest. plant. ever

Aaaay! What's that plant to the far right!? Is it some kind of hydrophilia?

What do you all think? Would clown loaches full grown uproot plants or go around them in a 125?

Can you tell us the filtration you'll have on the tank?

Got my old SN back! So no suggestions personally from you :o? awwww :[

I didn't even consider that fish! My fiance likes it a bit! Keep them coming!

Do not EVER use substrate from a river unless you plan to re-create that habitat from fish from it. (This is my strong opinion for substrate from places). It might depend on what it is though. Sand/mud - I'd say no. Gravel - You can probably clean this to a point where you can use it They can...

I have now made space for a 6 footx 1 1/2 x X tank (Will be 125 gallons) I also have a 38 gallon tank. So here's the kicker. I have an old albino senegal bichir who I have had for 4-5 year and he will move into the 125. We are deciding on tankmates and hoped that you all would help us decide...

doing fine

Good news everyone! I just looked into the tank and saw the flounder pleco has made almost a complete recover y and looks dashing good.

You have to get a little mad at him when he finds a way to eat something you thought he couldn't eat Like your Armored Vampire shrimp.... grrrr....

tank size and that sort would be nice to know.... you need to let the loaches grow more before getting the senegal.

A peacock eel will not eat tetra. A halfbanded will not eat tetra

anyone have advice on how to trim these lil' guys beaks?

The red eyes are actually the favorite thing about my Albino Senegal.... <3 my fatty.

Yesh, my flounder pleco apparently wasn;t over his infection, which is bad.... I'm gonna dig more space under the bogwood so he won't scratch against it. I think I may have to take my angel back.... I will miss him.

Fella - where did that outburst come from? I'd love a bigger tank. I just can't have one until I move out. If I'm willing to go out and spend on filters, food, and fish, I'm obviously willing to get them situated correctly. the last fish I bought were for my 25 gallon which is finalized. 3...

nobody has an opinion?

I may clean water sports off my tank soon and take some pictures. so far, I'm loving these guys. They've killed most every snail in my 25 gallon and are enjoyable to watch and feed. They even attack my finger. The bad part will be, soon it will come time to trim their beaks I'd assume...

Cane.... trading fish for fish is a bit..... extreem IMO..... if there was no problem with agression and the likes there of, I just can;t understand you going and getting rid of fish to bring new ones in..... That's like saying "Hey, guys. I can't hang out with you anymore. You're too uncool...

Oh yeah, just to point out, that tank in my sig is the 38 gallon in its former glory. I had to toss a lot of the plants due to over growth and am restarting a planting session.

I am open to all CONSTRUCTIVE critics. My current stocking of my Thirty Eight US gallons tank includes 5x Flagtail Porthole catfish 2x Peacock eels (one stripes and one normal) 1x Syno. Flav. 2x African Butterfly 1x Angel 1x Bolivian Ram 1x Angel 1x Albino Senegal bichir 1x Flounder/Butterfly...
