Chuckmeister Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Love that first shot of the gold spot...beautiful fish.I was thinking of getting a couple of borneo scooter for my planted community tank. Curious on your opinion on these. (assuming the pic in post 4 is one)Are those salmon tails in post 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwestroyalty Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yeah its a borneo, i forget the little guy is lurking around to be honest.

Joel Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Wow! That's quite a collection of cats!Not sure what tank size you have, but if you have room and are looking for more I'd suggest a group of Synodontis petricola or multipunctatus.They work best in groups of six or more in my opinion.CheersJoel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckmeister Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Not sure about the east coast but was surprised to read that retail (WA) are not allowed to sell Salmon tails anymore...

Teamsherman Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Little Borneo Sucker yeah?Are they able to be bred in captivity? My local aquarium has some in and they look awesome. What are they like to keep with others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwestroyalty Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Im not too sure about captive breeding, sorry... Mine had a good run but recently got swallowed by a salmon tail. The borneo stuck so close to the corners i dont think it really got noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwestroyalty Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Haven't posted in a while now but here's one from about 6 months ago... my missus said the salmon tail was bloated for about 2 hours then when I got home was acting and looking normal. Guess he was just a pig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 As a long time predatory catfish keeper, whenever one of my catfish would look like that it would be time for a head count. Nice clean looking salmon tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice clean looking salmon tail. As a rank amateur predatory catfish keeper I second that. I only keep the ones with little mouths now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Catfish with little mouths certainly limits the chances of swallowing tank mates. One of the worst cases of this I have ever experienced with a 3' RTC ate my 2' Jardini, the stomach was impressive even for a RTC. I kept a close eye on the catfish as they can be prone to regurgitating meals that are too large or fish with irritating spines. Sure enough it regurgitated the Jardini about 36 hours later, the only problem was it was during the night. So I awoke to a tank that looked like soup with a floating half digested 2 foot Saratoga. Good times. I also had a Wallago leeri - this catfish was something else. It wouldn't just swallow fish that it could, if it couldn't swallow the fish it would bite them clean in half, actually looked like someone had cut them with a sharp knife. Which is fairly impressive, because they look more like they have raspy little re-curved teeth that look more suited to holding prey rather than cutting them in half. Was an expensive lesson to learn after it bit 3 show piece Synodontis decorus in half over a 2 day period and fish don't tend to survive without their back half! If there are any Perth members this fish is now and display (and has been for years) at Midland Pet and Aquarium. Currently about 3' long. The only fish I ever kept that I couldn't convert to prepared foods, I would hate to thing how many $ worth of food it has consumed in the last 10 years.
