  1. I saw a post from someone yesterday mentioning a return to Godzone....... WELCOME HOME RYAN :bounce: I trust all is well in the fishroom. Did any spawnings happen while you were away? I read that some BNs have increased their population, anything else??

    BN wrigglers

    It sounds like they'll be safe where they are but moving them is no biggie. I siphon them out into a bucket, making sure that there's water in the bucket before I start to suck fry and being careful to keep the bucket end of the hose underwater so the fry flow into the bucket rather than fall.

    Yep, that's how mine do it, and by day 12 they are all out of the cave and doing their best to survive the community tank. If I want to keep any to grow on I usually remove them from the cave before they start to roam.

  12. How about the lid off a peanut butter jar?
  13. Hi Matto. I'm currently flicking through a book 'Aquarium Care of Bettas' by David E. Boruchowitz, which has this to say on the subject...... Quote..."The males bubblenest is a vital and distinctive part of the spawning process but males vary greatly on the details........Some nests are loose and scattered, while others are dense, rising 2.5cm or more out of the water. Large nests may almost cover the surface of the tank, while small ones may be tucked away tightly in a corner. Some males will build virtually no nest at all and still be successful........Many breeders find that something floating will soon have a nest built under it...........University investigations have shown that males prefer something that is round, about the size of a Grapefruit, and yellow in colour.......these characteristics correspond with dead leaves"....End quote HTH
  14. Hi. The male is doing great, he's learning how to blow a bubble nest at the moment 8) I did get a female for him, lovely she is too This link has her pic in it :bounce: :bounce: http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/next-v ... c&start=15
