Currently we can offer wonderful bred Pseudepiplatys annulatus. This tiny
species originates from West Africa, the fish we have in stock were bred in
Southeast Asia. Maximum length of the male is around <st1:metricconverter
ProductID="3 cm" w:st="on">3 cm</st1:metricconverter>, females stay even
smaller. The species is completely peaceful against all other fish and an
ideal choice for so called nano-aquaria. The males like to fight with each
other and so the tank should be well planted. P. annulatus feeds readily on
any fine dry, frozen or live fishfood.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
The fish thrive best in relatively dark aquaria. It is important to put dead
leaves, peat etc. on the ground. If the tank is too bright the fish stay
nervous. Not too hard water (up to 15°dGH) with a slightly acidic pH (6.2 -
6.5) is ideal, but the fish are pretty hardy and accept also less optimal
conditions. However, very clean water is absolutely necessary. Water
temperature can be between 18 and <st1:metricconverter ProductID="24°C"
w:st="on">24°C</st1:metricconverter>.<br>

This bizarre species has been described scientifically already in 1840. It is
widely distributed in the whole Amazon basin. Nevertheless it becomes only
rarely imported and so it is highly demanded by fans of predatory catfish who
pay quite high prices for them. The species can attain a total length of
about <st1:metricconverter ProductID="45 cm" w:st="on">45 cm</st1:metricconverter>.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

We were able to import six specimens from Peru recently. They are 15-<st1:metricconverter
ProductID="20 cm" w:st="on">20 cm</st1:metricconverter> long and thus only
juveniles. T. trachycorystes is known to be pretty aggessive against
tankmates, may they be of their own kind or belong to other species.
Nevertheless all our six specimens huggle together in the same pvc-tube.
Definitely their desire to hide is by far greater than their disgust against
each other.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

These cats are quite easy to keep. They feed readily on anything of animally
origin that fits in their mouth. If it is planned to keep this catfish in a
community tank one must take care that tankmates do not end up as
catfishfood!<br>

Sadly it was not possible to research if this Astronotus really was collected
in the Brazil state of Bahia. Currently no scientific reports of the
occurence of the genus in Bahia are known. So we have to leave the question
open, if this population was brought to Bahia as a food fish or if they do
not occur there at all.<br>
Despite all this the new „Bahia Red“ is a beautiful wild variety
of oscar which developes a lot of red coloration in the lower part of the
body. Keeping oscars is pretty easy given the fact that they need a really
spacy tank for they easily reach a length of <st1:metricconverter
ProductID="30 cm" w:st="on">30 cm</st1:metricconverter> and even more. As
long as tankmates are not too small (then they end up as oscar food) they are
not in danger, for this species of Astronotus is really peaceful even when
taking broodcare.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

Currently among the specimens of Badis badis bred by commercial breeders
relatively often aberrant specimens are found. A closer look on these fishes
reveils that besides the unusual irregular black pattern the basic body colour
is a deep red. There can be no doubt that these animals are hybrids. Quite
recently only one species with three or four "subspecies" was
recognized as valid in the genus Badis. The real diversity in Badis was
completely unknown. Some breeders buy now and then wild collected specimens
to refresh the blood in their stock, although this is not necessary in fish,
as the great number of offspring usually allows to avoid defects resulting
from inbreeding. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>The
example of the Piebald-Badis clearly shows on the other hand that it is very
dangerous to cross fish of unknown origin. Nevertheless these hybrids are
pretty aquarium inhabitants that can be kept like all Badis. They refuse dry
food, but readily accept frozen food. The Piebald-Badis are very active and
often fight with each other. These fights are totally harmless. It is unknown
if it is possible to breed with the hybrids.<br>
