I feed the green water to my daphnias and then the daphnias to the fry I actually don't think the fish give a toss about it. And in fact I use it to keep my killi fry from fighting, as there seems always more males than females... If they cannot see each other its much quieter in the tank :lol:
-
My leopards are all by themselves in a huge tank with plenty of fine plants - I use Cabomba and spiral Valisneria. They do eat the fry to a degree and i would probably get three times as many if I would keep them separate in nets where the fry can fall through when born. However there is always plenty to sell and no extra work...
-
Yes Warren! :oops:
-
My (adult) bristlenoses will indeed graze the top of the leaves until they die. However the kids are fine. If I feed them plenty of zuchini, cucumber and peas they will leave the plants alone.

Well when I put up a thread (not even a link) about an auction for the illegal yellow iris it was removed - or am I just too stupid to find it again (which is very well possible)?
-
I always have some for sale - just not putting an ad up every week. So if you want some let me know. Yes - I do ship as well.
-
Can just about imagine how easy that will be ... :roll:
-
Julidochromis transcriptus - and today I saw the first babies. On looking closer there are actually two different sizes there, while the parents take turns giving something in the cave lots of fresh water Has anybody else bred these? What do the babies eat?
-
About 5 adults and they have it on their high backfins.
-
Alan that is what I wondered - ARE Cories sensitive to copper or not? It seems to be a wild mix of stuff in this bottle. This is the first time ever that I have to treat cories, so not quite sure what they can handle and what not - hence the question if anybody has used this stuff on cories before - and did they survive the treatment LOL.
-
Yes
-
Fungus on fins.
-
Has anybody used "Wunder Tonic" on cories? With success? Or deaths? Its a mix of: 1.5% methylene blue, 0.1% malachite green, 0.05% acriflavine, 0.04% quinine. Thanks for any info

Did you ever figure out if you got a male by chance jn?
-
How cold can they stand Caryl? The books all say that they need 20 degrees. Not even we have that in winter!
-
Hi Billaney - at least there is hope that we might get some fry at some stage. Just getting worried that these fat things may pop Have even considered putting some other corydoras males in to prevent that from happening....
-
Has any body got these fish? And is willing to sell some fish or offspring? It looks as if I have only huge fat girls!
-
Sorry I didn't read your post properly. Of course you CANNOT use the fish I suggested above in an overflow system like you describe. I thought of an isolated pond in a paddock surrounded by grass only.
-
White Cloud Mountain Minnows are good for that as are ordinary goldfish (comets). Or put some guppies in in the spring and fish them out before the temp drops below 15 degrees.
-
Haven't got a TM account Caryl.
-
Yes westport caryl. I didn't dare put a link in (cause the last one got removed) so I just copied the title of the auction. Can anybody comment on the auction?
-
Have a look here and here for clarification.
-
In this case off to the booze cupboard barrie: http://www.met.gov.fj/aifs_prods/0640weath.php http://www.stuff.co.nz/4315734a10.html

My baby bristlenoses make so much muck that it would pollute the tank more than they clean up. Maybe I feed them too well?

Livebearers have a very small stomach and need to eat almost continuously all day. I always leave some plants with algae in there so they have some greens to nibble at in between meals. To get them to grow fast install one of these brineshrimp hatchers in the tank and they will have continuous fresh live food appearing day and night for them to snack on.
