i like them, very cool looking boy u got there. 20cm

r u sure its not Eleocharis acicularis? its the common names that get ppl here cuz Eleocharis acicularis are usually sold under the name dwarf hair grass but it grows up to 10 -15cm when cared for properly. Eleocharis parvula is the true dwarf type which only grows to 5cm max even under superb conditions. sorry for sounding skeptical but i have made so many purchase from ppl thinking the had it but all turned out to be just Eleocharis acicularis. but if u still think u do have it i am keen to buy some

funny how all fry looks the same good luck hope all goes well

:lol: :lol: :lol:

been trying very hard to find some for the past 2 years. every time i come close to some it ended up just been normal ones. good luck on ur search let us know if u find any

i know who's going to be asked for photos to use on the cover of AW magazine

when u say ur anti hybrids does that mean all "man made" strains and mutations?

what sort of camera are u using ?

this is quit a while ago now but i had a 3 foot around 4 of them with just ur usual community fish like danios and tetras. and BN of cause. seen pretty peaceful fish to me and quit popular in Asian countries as Feng Shui fish. although i've heard about them been aggressive fish but i personally dont think so. i am not sure how much they go for these days but i dont recall they ever cost $50 :-?

hay under the lid where the impeller is u can twist the cap off to get to the impeller. i am not sure how else i can explain it :-?

looks like we got another great photographer what is the plant the kuli is in? looks like parsley. not at all a boring pic of BN i think it looks great good job

they look great Billaney, been seeing alot of wonderful cory pics latly. looks like more tanks for me :lol: what would u suggest i start with as a first time cory breeder? i am thinking long fin Albino or are the long fin variety harder?

u can get special tube cleaners. its basically a spring steel with a bottle brush at either end. cost around $6 at ur LFS

too bad these guys are nasties cuz i think they look cool

did they just lost their young? could be the female. does it look riped off which is clean cut edge or melting away with bits attached?

hay ron021 check it out http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 015759.htm do u guys ever get anything like this in?

hay Billaney saw ur auction on trademe for the long fin corys. looks wicked. any other pics of them? first time I've ever seen one

no, having fish under them is the main cause of drop eye. drop eye is very hard to fix. like Tracey said Severums can be a good choice, but really depends on the individual fish its usually not keep with much else.

well i am some what a night crawler myself so although the tank light turns off at 10 i am still up with the lights on so they dont come out till couple of hours after compete darkness thats when i come out with my torch :lol: :lol: i am in the processing of setting a bigger tank with moon lighting at the other side of the house so i wouldn't have to do this anymore. :roll: most of them are plecos, its mostly the wild caught ones that are really nocturnal and couple of eels.

i get up or stay up till late about twice a week to hand feed and check on all my nocturnal fish 8)

first of all i am glade i am not the only one still up wow bleaching just from a 1 to2 degrees different how ever do u guys keep these things in tanks

not counting frags does that mean they're all doing well?

thanks for the correction there Ira, it makes a lot more sense
