    Cats and plants?

    How would a gulper catfish do with plants, I haven't seen one in a planted aquarium and haven't heard of it. And how about bull head, blue cats, channel cats, and flatheads? So how would they do with plants?

    Porthole or hoplo catfish?

    I have a 55 gallon tank in the works and can't decide of which type of catfish I want. The hoplo really stood out to me because it's a more active catfish but it gets a decent size of 8 inches or so. The porthole also caught my attention because they stay smaller but how active are they...

    Wintering tropical fish in Arizona?

    Hello, I am in the process of creating a 900 gallon pond, and would like to know if I can keep tropical fish all year round, or will I have to move them back into my tank for the winter. If it is the latter then I'll just raise some koi and goldfish. Thanks

    Pickerel tank mate idea

    So I currently have my two Redfin Pickerel housed by themselves. I was planning on putting some stone cats (Noturus flavus) in there. They both stay about the same size and the RFP stay up top and the stone cats are bottom dwellers so i think it would work out fine. Just wanted some feedback on...
