    I love catfish . I only can keep as many as I have bottom area in my tanks for . The large ones really require too much room and a careful selection for long term room mates .I have two Red Violet Bruno pleco's ,Rapheals in spotted and stripped. I also have several Bristle nose to start breeding soon as well as several hybrid Synodontis and an upside down cat . I also have a Clown pleco that is about 18 years old which is older than some members Cool I have kept many others previously as well . What do you have ???? Question

    thank you

    i am going to be working on saltwater articles as soon as i can but my tasks right now are in getting the word out about the forum. i do wish the members to check out the need to get the word out topic in the website feedback section and do some craigslist adds so we can get the word out. i am hoping to one day be able to approach some sponsors for the forum and also get some bennies for active registered members.

    Why thanks for all the compliments:D I am glad you are enjoying the library, and as applause I shall add some catfish for you.

    The only reason I got into fish was because of my dad talking about his tank of his cichlids when he was little, and how he got them to breed and watching them mouth-brood. I didn't get into it myself until i saw a 55 gallon tank at a junk yard. I didn't end up buying that tank, but I did end up getting a ninety of my own later:)

    Gold Nuggets are tough ,Wood seems to be the key for them imho , I will add some more when I find them again as I have both Malaysian driftwood and Mopani now. The only cool plec I have seen lately for sale was a nice Rhino but I passed on it .....for now.
