Hi. My GBA are spawning in the community tank too but I doubt there'll be many survivors. Like you, I'm not new to breeding them but it's still cool to see fry in the tank.

Yes

I love the Aggies.

My only advice is to do your research, which it seems you're doing anyway. Remember the saying 'The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence' The shift to Oz has worked for some but many people find that it's not too dissimilar from here.

Can I assume you immigrated to New Zealand for a better life? If you've failed to make that life happen here what makes you think you'll find it in Australia? Where will you go if that fails? You're already in Paradise mate so do what you can to make it work here.

It's just you :slfg:

A 25% water change might make him feel a bit better, it's a good start anyway.

Replace them with Cardinals FTW, they're prettier :thup:
-
I've had this issue with Neons before and I no longer keep them because of it. I now use Cardinals. The colouring is better, they get bigger, they school tighter and they live longer.

When I've seen them used the breeder removed the adults after spawning and let the eggs hatch amongst the marbles. They grew up in the same tank and were free swimming before the marbles were removed. This was in an otherwise bare bottom tank.
-
Can you use glass marbles in your setup? The eggs fall through the gaps and the adults can't reach them.

:thup: Happy Birthday LA.

Hi I'm looking forward to pics. I kept a Koura a couple of years ago and she was a fascinating creature. Be sure to keep the temperature below 20C, they do not handle warm water very well at all.

Hi, here's a link to an article with a glass thickness calculator. http://www.fnzas.org.nz/?p=1732

I just got home from work and my long weekend has officially started :happy1:

How does this guy measure his fish? The caudal fin is the tail.

Yes. I set up a planted tank a few months ago with a black background and I like it.

Have a look on YouTube for a Border Collie named Chaser, she has 1000 soft toys and knows the name of all of them BCs are super intelligent.

Remember to be gentle with the media that the good bacteria live in. The less you disturb the biological filter the better.

Even low levels of ammonia and nitrite are toxic to fish. A stable tank should have 0.00 ammonia and nitrite. Water changes are the best thing you can do in this situation IMO.
