just looking for any first hand info and experience with Liosomadoras Oncinus - Jaguar catfish. Things like growth rate and temperment, or even where to find one.
IDK what they got at nights, which is the only time they'd leave their liar. With light on, I'd drop pieces of fish, shrimp on their heads which were gobbled up with much gusto.Awesome cats there. I heard they had a slow growth rate, but wasnt sure if that was the conditions they were in, or just naturally slower growing. That actually appeals to me more since it would be going in my smallest tank. What did you feed yours?
Does anybody know if these guys are hard to find? I cant find anything other than old threads from other forums.
Exactly my sentiment! Their appearance may vary some and some are less attractively colored and patterned but most of them wow everyone, no question.I had one that unfortunately passed away. It was always wedged under some driftwood and loved to hide. Hardly ever saw it, but the few times it would pop out...man... was it a beautiful fish.
I've got my trade-ins when I lived in Rochester, NY, across the lake from you but on the other side of the border They are indeed not often seen but it is not as if they are never seen in your area, esp. if you visit the LFSs on the US side in Niagara Falls and Buffalo. In Buffalo I'd focus on "The Fish Place" in Tonawanda and on "Pets Plus" in Lockport. I'd get their numbers and call them daily. May add to it "Markheim's Pets" in Buffalo itself.I would love to get my hands on one. I have a few friends keeping an eye out for me if any pop up, but seems like they're hard to find. Maybe its just the time of the year or so im hoping.
Ok great, thanks for the info. Will definatly look into them. Even if i cant find anything "close" im long overdue for a roadtripExactly my sentiment! Their appearance may vary some and some are less attractively colored and patterned but most of them wow everyone, no question.
