I recently invested in a pair of jade sleeper gobies that I've become very fond of... but I noticed the day after I put them in the tank that one of them has a strange lump on it's side, under it's scales. Is this something I should worry about? It dosn't seem to be getting bigger, and the...

finally got a pic of my eel

yeah I'm definately against the overpopulation thing. I've already made arrangements to sell off my larger fish once they become full grown, because I want them to have happy lives. I feel so sorry for the poor oscars.

Okay... so he's acting normal again.. I suppose it was just a fluke. I'm going to keep an eye on him though.

I haven't really noticed any change in his appetite... He's eager to eat, but he doesn't gorge like some of my others do.

My knife fish is acting rather strangely... I don't if it's really a problem, so hopefully someone out there will be able to clearify it. He/she is swimming around a lot more than usual, and every couple of seconds he either rams into something (almost aggresively), or he lays down on his side...

I'm a big fan of the pictus actually.. it's rather common in the stores around here. I actually almost got one once, but decided one large silver and black cat was enough for one tank. ;)

hooray..... you go here: http://www.planetcatfish.com/core/index.htm they have a full list of all the different species with all of the habitat/water conditions and what not. The "h-line" cat is listed as Pimelodus blochii Hope that helps... :)

I've attempted many times to try and figure out his/her species name, but I've failed misserably. It seems that the pet store I purchased him at is the only one that calls them "h-line" cats, and I haven't ever seen them anywhere else. My dad, who lives in Tx, knew what fish I was talking...

Grant: the cat was only about 7 bucks, and he's not difficult to care for at all. He is a little bit aggresive towards the other fish, but he's never harmed any of them - seems to be mostly a dominance thing.

I have thought about a background, but it being a hex tank I don't know how I feel about covering any of the sides.... I enjoy that it's visable from all around, ya know?

these are the last three I promise. :)

more pics

This is my baby... hoping to get another set up sometime in spring, but for now this is the object of my affection. :wink: contents: 1 H-Line Catfish 1 Bumble Bee Catfish 1 Peacock Eel 1 Gold Guarami 1 Opaline Guarami 1 African Black Kife Fish 1 Needle Nose Gar 3 Black-Skirt Tetras and...

I learned working a in a pet store that you should use the green nets with the larger holes for catfish/coreys or anthing else with spiney fins. I had to use one of the very fine nets for my move over the weekend as well, and I wasn't very happy about it. Anything with a siney fin will tend to...
