I enjoy the shows and the information that’s in them. The history behind the fish is also great. Keep the shows coming. It would be nice to get some shows that are more in-depth on one specific fish care, along with some history behind it.
@@thefishfiles I’m not quite sure, I know you’ve been talking a lot about nano tanks. Maybe good fish for a community tank in the 35-55 rang or maybe some monster for a tank that size. I really like the vampire tetras, you said they get really large.Do you think they would do well in a school/shoal?I just got into fish keeping. It escalated quickly started with a 6gallon with one half moon Betta. Then realized it’s too small so I got a 35gallon. With 10 Black neon tetras some shrimp a mystery, snail, and the betta. Then found another 35 gallon end up with 2 angels fish 10 neon tetras a snail and shrimp. I’m open to suggestions and ideas. I know you’re a whole sale guy. But I find your information really good and you talk a little bit about each fish you show.
Parotocinclus are also great! I have 3 Parotocinclus haroldoi (2 females, 1 male) in my 20 gallon. They don’t get bigger than 6cm and are very active. Even show themselves a lot during the day, seem to prefer to eat only at night though. Interesting coloring, individual sozial interactions between the single plecos, very hardy. Only eat green stuff though. Green algae wavers, leaves, crusta tabs and stuff go well. I love them very much and are hoping to be able to breed ‘em when I have time. The females already had eggs 2 times now in only a months time. Also wild caught from brasil though. Wish me luck breeding haha! Huge Parotocinclus fan hehe! Searching for some Parotocinclus Variola right now to add to my second tank.
Plecos need wood! They don't really eat it intentionally but as they are grazing along looking for algae, they will ingest some wood fiber. It's quite important to their digestion/gut health.
I kept Hara jerdoni for years, and can confirm that they are not nocturnal and prefer to associate in groups. They eat small living foods such as Tubifex and bloodworm, even frozen foods. They are called stone catfish because they resemble the stone substrate of the streams they live in. Hara species (now reclassified as Erethistes) do not come from Indonesia. They are only known from India and Bangladesh. Jerdon didn't describe this species. Francis Day described this species in 1870 and named it in honour of Jerdon, who first collected it. The rules on nomenclature forbid people from naming species after themselves.
Thanks for all the details that don’t describe the fish. You keep saying “this size , good size” without telling what the size is. On my tv these fish are 28” long. Can you be more vague
I don't recommend Bumblebee Catfish, as they can eat fish even larger than their bodies! I once kept one with a Betta, and he swallowed him whole!! Bigger fish that try to eat him choke on his pectoral and dorsal spines.
The L046 (true zebra) go for around £150 here in the UK.... and that's at about 1 inch long.
Same in Canada 🇨🇦
$500 plus in Australia
@@rambo20242 get breeding asap!!!!
I have never seen the Stone Catfish in a LFS or big box store. I definitely must have. 😍

Their social interactions must be fun to watch.
All beautiful specimens...always loved the smaller cats 👍
Really Good Stuff Sir Love From Chennai India❤

Thank you for the cool video. What about the zebra ottos?? I love mine.
Thanks for talking about plecos.. Maybe you could do a weekly species profile update.
I have a little bumblebee catfish
I love my red lizard whiptail, but I’d love to get on of the brown spotted ones, ours are pure red
Bro a great starter is DEFINITELY the Redtail Catfish

Have you noticed any specific behaviors when keeping them in groups?
You should do an episode on types of Tetras!
What do you think about madtoms?
The stone/anchor catfish is also found in east of india in the wild
“Zebra Pleco is endangered and the common pleco is invasive... HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?!”
Di indonesia ikan otocinclus termasuk mahal harganya sekitar 40-45 ribu rupiah per ekor almost ($ 3 each)..

They’re all under ~3 inches / ~2 inches
