  1. I will check the date on when that batch was bred DavidR, hubby has it on his comp :D

    Yeah that's what we have done, kept some from first batch from our 1st pair (same young that yours come from), got some young off Fishbait (thanks Fishbait :hail: ) from his pair... and now I have this recent spawn that are still with parents and growing on nicely (parents being another seperate pair)... Once they get a real huge appetite they grow so fast... the youngest lot here have got the real hungry hippo stage and growing rapidly.

  2. Thanks for sharing Stella, sounded like you guys had a blast...

    Neat pics... I get this weird little snail now and then in my garden, a real flat shell, almost pancake flat.... wonder what that could be? Might try and take a shot of it if I see them again sometime later this year...

  3. Oh congrats on getting Clown Plecs.... :D They are fab little Plecs, I have a female here..

    Mine chow down on anything that goes into the tank, definately not fussy eater... whatever goes in for the fish the Clowns certainly find :roll: :lol:

  4. I will move this thread to another section..

    I have very large Silver Dollars, they will feed anywhere in your tank, top, mid water, bottom, any sign of food and they are in there... to the point of bashing each other or into things, other fish etc...

    In the past I have had two of mine develop a bruised swimbladder from doing this..... they would lay on their side, go upside down... What I did was, take the fish out of the big tank, into a smaller tank on their own for safety and quiet time, and after 2-3 days the fish came right... It did happen to be a bruised swimbladder and took a few days to come right. JMT

  5. :lol: :lol: Little blighters....

    I stripped a DB female peacock before sending her off to new owner, and I didn't have room for the fry so put them in Frontosa tank..... all gone bar one, who grew up nicely... gee she must have had some hairy moments in there, 2 big Synos.. Frons.... :lol: Notice it is a SHE that made it... gee us women are tough hehe :lol:

  6. It was the colour that drew me to the first thought of tropheops (before I saw face on shot) The colouration is very similar to a variant that I had seen, however the face is all wrong, they have a very blunt cut off type face.. and very small mouth, almost set slightly back..

    But yeah a tropheops X (hybrid) could be possible...
