hi all as promised :) About the breeding of gastromyzon few facts are known. That’s why the following summary of observations made earlier are still of importance. The articles about the breeding of gastromyzon by Philipp Dickmann have been published in „Das Aquarium-Magazin“ in 2001. As the magazin...

hi mick
scaturigina are looking fine.
I have got 5 stellatus of that size lately, are quite dominant and all females. yours is as well if I see right? must go over my notices as I've read about the guess that females become bigger than males. a question also for borneosucker.

hi odyssey thanks for the link. it's the second pictue of this species. I have no idea how zhou hang could know fangi etc I'll try a mail. hi farid: tungpeiensis is not a valid name. :o valid is chantingensis. :lol: changtingensis fasciatus, fasciatus fasciatus, chantingensis changtingensis, changti...

hi sujoy as jim said. I have tried beautiful betta ocellata from borneo with sewellia lineolata, but only because of the tank-size. now it would fit into a gastromyzon tank. in borneo they really live in the same habitat replacing a trout. but: it's a serious predator and a exellent jumper with an e...

hi jim
thanks a lot.
found a picture of peristictus by zhou hang 2004 in my archive. you may be right. it's a pity he's blessed and the only one. for the moment.

thanks to you all.
and yes lucky some times. At the same time I got desmocaris trispinosa, barboides gracilis and others. makes a change. I hope to find more time in august/september for all these projects.

hi all I just got pseudogastromyzon cf cheni which they are certainly not. does anyone know more? 14 species are valid: cheni, fangi, myersi, laticeps, peristictus are verified with pictures, rest 9. as the descriptions are not in reach it's difficult to decide this one with the broken spine is not ...

hi gary there are few descriptions of the whole procedure, fotos none. some messages of parts of the procedure. this link is the most complete about lienolata, but in german or ...?russian! @ mad duff: "dancing" is really the word that seems to be appropriate and they are "free-spawners" http://ig-b...

hi exellent videos. first time I see females fighting. may be I can add some infos. I noticed two different behaviours: one is the "domination"-fight. can last for hours. normally between two strong males on a rock or on sand. two females on the front-glass is new to me. seems the "repertoire" is si...

yes indeed. and with 20 tanks that makes a lot.

hi mick
of course it's the video that's great.
but look how I'm keeping vegetable down on the ground for my loaches. old fashion manner isn't it?
the plastic mounting just could spare some time.



cheers charles

can you tell me something about the plastic-mounting? i've never seen it before
cheers charles

I'll see pictures next sunday. the species on aqua-bid is sewellia albisurea . that's great, greatest and so on :!: the fifth's sewell...
