    Predatory fish up to 2.5 feet

    one-stop-shop for large established predatory tank. All you need is a big aquarium or Pond, LOL. Predator fish up to 2.5 feet in length. Majority of these fish have grown up together. They can be housed with large cichlids and many oddball species. Research what cichlid would be best. -wild...

    Removing net from catfish spines?

    So today my platinum senegal bichir went nuts and attacked my platysilurus mucosus, taking his barbels off and shredding his tail. Now I have a cup I use to deal with my cats so they don't get hurt from nets but in the case I had to use a net to remove as he was getting mauled and could not get...

    2 new cats

    Got 2 new catfish today. Platysilurus Mucosus and Hemibagrus Olyroides. The hemibagrus was a bit beat up when it arrived but so far he is behaving fine. Will update with better pics as they settle in and I can have the lights on.

    Gulper Catfish Slime Coat Coming Off

    I have recently acquired a gulper catfish, it is still acclimating to the new environment but the slime coat is coming off on the fins and in front of the head. Is this normal, should I do more water changes or just leave it as is for now? Thank you

    Giant Bumblebee Catfish (Pseudopimelodus bufonius)

    Does anyone have any info on Pseudopimelodus bufonius? I am considering getting one and I hear they reach 10” and are pretty cool for aquariums 100+. Also, any special care requirements? Thanks!!!!

    Fish louse?

    I think my gulper has a louse (cue goosebumps and skin crawl). Would that affect his appetite? How would I remove it? I've had him a week today. He's wild caught but I imported him from a Cichlaholics. Pics aren't great. Not much practice taking photos of moving objects through glass.
