Planetcatfish

[Fishman Dave]

Planetcatfish was always my go to choice for finding information on my phone but recently I cannot use it. Every time I try the adverts take over the page and I cannot see any of the actual information. Not sure if this is something with Planetcatfish or something with my phone although I don’t seem to get this issue on any other site.

I was having issues but tried a couple of times and info finally appeared. Dave try again hopefully it works.

Yeah noticed the same starting maybe this past Fall.. Same w/ Aquabid, though AquaBid sometimes wigs out on my laptop as well... Cost alot to keep these sites up and running..

Check ScotCat (https://www.scotcat.com/home.htm) and Sudamerikafans (https://www.suedamerikafans.de/pt-br/) which both provide similar levels of data re: catfish/plecos..

I used to also use loricariidae.info, but it seems they're no longer open to the public and now strictly focus on scientific publications and research rather than general info...

I rarely use my phone but i'm 100% sure you can find an adblocker for whatever phone browser you're using.

On my computer I use AdNausem and it works great:

AdNauseam - Clicking Ads So You Don't Have To

A browser extension that clicks on every blocked ad to fight advertising surveillance.

adnauseam.io

There's also ways to block them before they hit your device such as Pi-hole:
