I picked up Punctatus, Sterbai, and i guess CW027. THE CRAZY PART?! Every cory was only $8.99!!!! So i got sterbai and the others for $8.99. They also had what looked like black Venezuelan, but couldnt tell if they were just really dark Emeralds. They also had a chubby black cory with a little yellow in the pectoral fin should area. Wished id have gotten him, he was all they had. I may have to go back soon.

    Ropefish can be taught to eat dry tubifex worms cubes rather easily. I had 2 for many years they are very smart and when they heard me open the lid they poked their heads out if they saw me grab food they would rush out and wait till I threw the food in. Then they would snag a cube quickly before anyone else could.

Well worth the wait for one of the most beautiful rainbow fish.

    @MatthewFTabor 9 дней назад

    Wow, I cannot imagine paying $30.00 per panda loach. In China, we can get them for less than $3.00. That international shipping really drives the price up! Also, they're not a seasonal fish, but collecting them is a seasonal hobby, just like most other hillstream loaches. Where I live, we probably have about half a dozen hillstream loach species. They're in the rivers all year, but the water isn't always easy to wade in or clear enough to see where the fish are.

    I think the Teugelsi Bichir and some of the Lapradei with the nice dark olive green patterns are some of the nicest looking Bichirs. One thing I did not here you mention about the Bichirs or the Rope fish is that they actually breathe air from the top of the water, This is another reason they "escape" so often and you should have tight fitting lids.

    I used to have Synodontis catfish, and they're one of my most favorite aquarium catfish species. They're hardy (although they do need good oxygen levels in the tank), they're very peaceful and docile, they're pretty active, and they look really beautiful. Sadly, I had to rehome my Synodontis (and every single one of my fish, in general) after my aquarium suffered a catastrophic, irrecoverable cycle crash and ammonia spike. However, I do still have one of my aquarium pets: my Axolotl.

  • @majorbruster5916
    @majorbruster5916 19 дней назад

    When I was exporting fish from Lake Tanganyika, I flew the boxes to Bujumbura, where they were transferred to a KLM flight to the Netherlands. From there the shipment was split into 2, one half was then transhipped to London and the other to Hamburg. Virtually no losses. The other arm of my operation exported wild caught fish, including butterflies and elephant trunk fish, out of Kinshasa to Belgium. Nigerians were not involved, they have their own businesses. Most west African fishes come from soft acidic waters, pH can be 5.5. You're confusing rift lake species, which live in pHs of 8.5 and cannot be kept below 7.0. Synodontis is not a family. It is a genus. The genus Synodontis comes under the family Mochokidae. The elephant noses, Gnathonemus petersi, (family Mormyridae) can't talk, so they don't have elocution lessons. They use their weak electric field to detect their prey and to communicate. This is called electrolocation, sometimes termed echolocation. The long "nose" is in fact an extension of the lower lip, densely covered with sensory cells to detect worms in sediment. In another species (Gnathonemus tamandua) both lips are extended to form a long tube. Bichir is pronounced "burr-chur", not biker, as in Hell's Angels, it comes from an Arabic word. These fishes grow big and need big tanks with lids on. Rope fish are good escape artists. There is so much misinformation in this video coming from somebody in the trade, who is supposed to be knowledgeable about his stock, that it beggars belief.

    I have two Chinese Algae eaters, one gold one brown. Each about 18cm. I like them. They have funny personalities. I don't have any problems with them in a community tank with all sorts including small fish like neons and baby fish born in the tank. The Golden one is clearly the boss and occasionally he will scoot through the tank and put everyone else in their place (mainly the other CAE and the clown loaches who are also a good size). I like this because it stirs up any extra food etc on the tank floor helping to send it to the filter IMO. But my tank is four foot, planted and well fed. In a small tank and hungry could be a different story.
