Mpimbwe Pete Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Forgive my ignorance but I would like to learn about a couple of species . Are peppermints just another variety of Bristle ? I have successfully bred BN's (who hasn't) but am keen to try the spectacular peppermints. What about the "gold spots " ?? I don't know what log no.s they are . How do you find out ? (for a beginner ) . Can anyone recommend a good site or book that explains what the catfish in our shops are ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momo Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Peppermints are from the same family, ancistrus. Alot of people are having success breeding peppermints, most important factors seem to be water cleanliness as well as age and size. General consensus seems to be 3 or so years old. gold spots are L001, good site would have to be www.planetcatfish.com a good book would be Aqualog.

wui39 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 www.planetcatfish.com would probably be the best place to start, until you get serious, then aqualog is a good book to purchase for identification. The common stuff I see that are available: BN's Normal BN's Pepermints (same genus as BN's) Albino BN's (same genus as Bn) Long fin bn's Plecos L001 - Goldspots Sailfins Normal pleco Other than these you start getting into the more exotic stuff.

ozarowana Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I think you meant peppermints are from the same genus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozarowana Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Aren't albino BN considered the same species as normal BN? You had it right the first time. I'll shut up now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
