    Its hard to say. The tank glass is not the cleanest so its hard to see and the fry are the same colour as the sand. The father was taken out a couple of days ago so I dont think the female is preparing to spawn again but who knows. I will attempt again in a bare bottom tank next time if these fry dont survive. Fingers crossed the fry are still there just hiding from me.

    Looked in the tank while feeding last night and it appears the number of fry has halved. Either she has eaten them or they are hiding in the tank somewhere. It is just the female and the fry in the tank. On another note the Male passed away yesterday. He was old so it was to be expexted. Luckily I still have his son to attempt another breeding with. Mother still looks healthy.
  3. I used both the 18-55mm and the 55-250mm kit lenses also have a 100mm macro. I bought this second hand for $600. Caryl, Stop hijacking my thread; -)
  4. Your "Petchii" is not Petchii It is Affinis. Petchii has a serrated looking leaf very much like beckettii. (it is actually a form of Beckettii)

  6. I grow my glosso in beach sand over potting mix/aquatic mix. The sand I use is Iron sand from the Wanganui coastline. Very fine. Glosso lives it. Mine grows like a lawn.

    I gave the glas a bit of a clean(not too much as I didnt want to scare the fish) Sorry bout the blurs. They are bits of algae still on the glass and the tank is a curved front so slightly distorts the images. Mum is showing her nice golden colouration off. Half of the fry are among the substrate so are not visable unless moving Fry in the background are feeding on the sponge filter. I just feed a bunch of microworms Mum trying to scare me and the camera away.

    Yep, Ryan they arrived. I tried to take some photos last night but the female has moved them to the far corner where I can get a clear photo due to the algae on the glass. The male seems to just ignore the babies and the female doesnt mind him being there. The babies are taking microworms and picking at stuff among the plants.
  9. Depends on what is going on. When I have fry I can spend a couple of hours per day. But usually I spend about an hour per day with feeding and water changes, plant pruning etc. This is not including the hours spent in front of my many scattered tanks just staring. The Native tank seems to engross me most lately. Inanga are sure fun to watch chasing mossies and moths that land on water surface.
