banjo catfish

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Tanks look clean Cali eel tails are very active. My trio is in with bristlenose variants like long fin marble and others with no problems. Although the plecos with mine don't get very big and aren't really aggressive towards other bottom dwellers.

There was one super sexy male in your video that really caught my eye. Light brownish with a really nice long trailer on his dorsal.

Good luck! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the comments. Yes the light brown male is one of my favorites. It looks exaggeratedly long because the dorsal was eaten all the way down by the leopard cactus. These fish are definitely owners favorites, but my guest always seen to like the Goldie's better. Hopefully the fins will grow back, but it's been like this for some time now.

Lol nice. The current is probably really strong beneath them positioned like that, hehe. What type of pump is that? I like the setup. Does the Dempsey ever go for the tails? He looks big. Also the contrast on that second banjo(white/black) is awesome!

The Dempsey is a victim of domestic abuse which is why he's in that tank. But there has been absolutely no aggression towards any tank mates. Blues are a lot less aggressive then regular dempseys imo.

The pump runs my whole fishroom of forty or so tanks plus some on the first floor (fishroom is in the basement)

Oic. I had one of those blues but lost it due to jumping.
This is the only photo I got of him, lol.

I've also heard they were less aggressive, but thought the tails might inspire sampling.

Oh wow. 40+ tanks is quite the collection. No wonder the pressure was so strong, 👍. The mrs. Only allows me to keep 3. I just try to upsizes them when I can.

Btw your pics didn't load. Maybe it's my app though. Cheers.

I can see my pics but not yours of the blue
Hmmmm maybe it is the app.

Me and the Ms have an agreement. One I strongly recommend for all those men keeping fish out there.

As long as the bills are paid on time....
She can have as many pairs of shoes as she wants.
And I can have as many fish as I want.

Works out well for both of us!! She is awesome though!! Dragged her into the hobby with no experience and now she feeds for me, occasionally will do wc for me.. Even got me endli's as a gift!!! THAT'S a KEEPER!!

Hahaha sound advice. Agreed as long as the bills paid, she's fine with it. I have more tanks at my warehouse. Without her restrictions, it got a bit crazy. Now im consolidating things and have more free time. Your lucky the mrs. Is intrested in the hobby and helps with water changes. 👍
