How many cats is enough?

It's probably close to the same situation on this side of the pond.

Sorry, I had totally missed the "x" - no time to read carefully and diligently anymore

This is the granulosus cross.
not bought as granulosus and no one has been able to confirm exactly what it is crossed with.

real nasty fish though

So, it’s been a couple of years since my last count and if nothing else it’s good to see personally where I stand currently.

whilst I know that my catfish keeping has really swung more to smaller species, and that I have eight tanks dedicated to breeding and rearing various types of bristlenose, I still keep a good mix of larger cats too.
So right now we have;

Ottocinclus * 3
Ordinary bristlenose plec * 5 pair & ~ 80 young
LDA144 blue eyed lemon bristlenose * 4 pair & ~ 120 young
Longfin bristlenose *3 pair & ~ 20 young
