June 29, 2025: Freshwater Collecting Trip

If you haven't done so yet, please sign up if you plan to join us. Deadline to sign up is Wednesday, June 25, 2025.

It will be a great day of fun in the sun potentially seeing (and maybe collecting!) rainbow, fantail, and green side darters, rosyside and blacknose dace, and numerous shiners.

Please be sure to purchase your license before the collecting trip. You will need the Non-Tidal Freshwater license regardless if you plan to collect or take fish home.

Eheim Professionel 3

I have an Eheim Professionel 3 (probably 350) that is not doing well, so I am giving it away for parts. I am only keeping the bio media. Pick-up can be in Gaithersburg/Damascus or maybe in Germantown.

Gold Ocellatus and Ventralis Orange Cap

I have some really nice 1.25-1.75+" Gold Ocellatus that i was planning to try a large colony in a 125g, but plans changed. They are all in a 40g without any shells, but they are ready to breed. I also have some nice 1.5-2" Opthalmotilapia Ventralis Kambwimba aka Orange Cap available.

5 Gold Ocellatus - $90
6 Orange Cap - $80

I'm located in Baltimore and can meet anyone non local at Royal Farms off I-95 exit 50B if needed. Below are pics of the breeder males and the fish that are available. Send me a message or email if interested. Troyda@hotmail.com. Thanks!

Rock Dwellers Attacking Catfish

My problem is I can’t seem to keep rock-dwelling Tanganyikans with Synodontis catfish. I have a 75 gallon tank with fifteen Cyprichromis, a compressiceps, and five S. lucipinnis catfish. These fish get along well. But I have had to rehome a Julidochromis transcriptus, a J. marksmithii, and a caudopunctatus (all single fish) because they all harassed the catfish. Have others seen this problem? I could try a leleupi or something in the N. brichardi family, but my understanding is they are even more aggressive than the rock dwellers I had to get rid of. Has anyone had success with such a combination? Do you think I’ve just been unlucky? I could keep trying, but I’d like to know something about the probability of success!

In Search Of

Ziss egg tumbler
Chihiros Algae inhibitor or Twinstar algae inhibitor
A group of Sterbi Cories

Wanted : Cpd / Celestial Pearl Danio

Good afternoon,

I am looking for around 20 cpds for a breeding project.

Thank you,
