what makes yall think they are K. bicirrhis and not K. minor?

sweet! thanks for posting those... i too have spent many hours clicking on things i dont understand on siamensis but haven't found anything that awesome yet.

please take lots of pictures if you can good luck

the exporter my mate uses is no other than Ud.... can't pronounce his name but you'll know him as Kamphol, if he says they are i'm of the opinion that he knows a hell of alot more than i do. udomritthiruji 8) his name is spelled udomritthiruj (no i on the end) but the fish species has the i thanks ...

awesome vids thanks for sharing :) in the syncrossus video, i love your "original one on the left", lovely looking specimen. based on his size you may want to consider throwing some larger diameter PVC in there as i'd worry they might get stuck :o lovely striatas and it is unfortunate everyone was c...

diana's suggestion is very possible. fish tend to "color up" to the substrate, which is why you commonly hear people saying black substrate really brings out the colors in fish. ive seen it firsthand with my danios, their shade definitely changes based on the color of the substrate, i havent experie...

nice news update

great video, thank you for posting. i'd never seen a grrrr tank in full movement (just pictures), i'm most appreciative of the post, thanks again

you should go ahead and swap the filter over now so the bacteria can build over the next few days. you may also want to move some water over from your other tank when doing your next water change. adding five good size loaches (or any fish for that matter) to an empty tank is something that would co...

thanks for the reply martin :) i know the site is constantly updated but that's because i'm a regular on here. i greatly appreciate the time and work you and others put in here - i really mean it 8) if there is ever anything i can do to help don't hesitate to ask, i can conjure up some free time for...

i've only seen kubotai for sale in my half of the state at one place (the above post, haha) and under the common name Angelicus Loach/Botia (i cant remember if loach or botia). agreed, i hate common names. when people ask what kind of fish they are i just say "a kind of loach" cause usually no one k...

As regards thumbnails popping up when your cursor hits a name I'm not sure if that's possible. this is very possible 8) i somewhat like the idea. while on the subject of the webpage, perhaps my only 'button pusher' if you will, is the fact that the most recent item in the news box is from december ...

I haven't actually ordered from him, but I've heard nothing but good things about "Frank's Aquarium". Seems he currently has them in stock, and i would consider also ordering your tetras at the same time because of shipping prices; which probably wouldnt change for a bunch more fish. I'm keepin an e...

definitely Botia kubotai, in my opinion. additionally, Petsmart and a handful of other stores carry these fish as Angelicus Loaches/Botia. i think the best way to curb the fighting would be to add a few more of them, i'd perhaps try two more.

To minimize the hardware in the tank, yet make the water turn the corner I would arrange an under gravel manifold that has openings (camouflaged by rock) that jet the water from under the substrate, especially 'around the corner' If your pump is large enough it could handle both outlets: At the far...
