Top pic - female Bottom pic - male In my experience I have never had a guppy breed with another type of fish but I think I read on here not long ago that it had happened. Guppies breed non stop - if you want the young to survive have plenty of plants floating on the top of the tank and hiding places for them. The mother will also eat her young if given a chance.

Hi Dixon http://www.truveo.com/Female-Mustard-Ga ... 3445407917

excellent - its never worked before.. Thanks

Hope you will put this pic on the fnzas website upgrade as well.

MG - mustard gas. Refers to the colouring.

I would think that he either has a bacterial infection or he has dropsy. When you look at him from above do his scales stick out so his body looks like a pinecone?

Thank you Alan!!!! There has been a lot of doubt cast over this.

if he was a year old he's done better than other peoples (including me) gold rams.

it took me ages to work out how to get it to work :oops: still can't manage to post only part of what a person has said though - its either all or nothing! :roll:

and this? or do you mean something else

you mean like this?

Heres mine - pics not fantastic but the best my camera and I can do - these are what the plants were sold/given to me as Echinodorus cordifolius marble queen Osiris sword (don't think this is right though) Vallisneria sp. 'Contortionist' (sold to me as Java fern!) Red pine

If you want to advertise the park is open up here over Christmas I can get something - not too huge but a reasonable size - put in our school newsletter that goes home to over 500 families, quite a few I would imagine will be heading to Tauranga/Mt Maunganui over the Christmas holidays.

I was woken up at 4.50am this morning by the Diocesan school for girls 7th form having their final fling over the fence from us. They have a sleepover and champagne breakfast. Given that we live in a boys boarding school and our house is right on the boundary fence between the two the last day of the year is a total mess!!! The flashing of bodies, Eggs, flour, raids through the boarding houses, dining rooms etc used to make the day a total disaster. The last couple of years though its been slightly more restricted to things coming over fences, yahooing, the school bell ringing, to name a few due mostly in part to the presence since midnight of a line up of security guards along our fence and also all the school entrances. :roll:

I'm too old but my daughters got level 2 English and Maths to sit. She's into art and I think its so she doesn't have as many exams :roll: she didn't find it so funny when she had 4 art boards to complete the other week though Good luck to those from here sitting exams this year.

I'll go to the A & P show in your place Wok - just send me the air tickets!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Was down in ChCh yesterday and it was soooooooo.... cold with hail etc but hey anything for you! :lol:

My fighters (usually the females) sometimes get this 'cotton wool' effect when the male has squeezed too hard and taken the top layer of skin off. Often dabbing methylene blue directly on the wound works but occasionally not and I lose the female. I don't know what 'hole in the head' looks like but could it be this.

nice pics by the way - they are looking good.

oh no, I see the one you mean - the next one up, I'm looking from the bottom. David, they are about the same age as my ct babies, spawned just before I went overseas. Like you I lost hundreds of young fry but what remains looks good. Nice fish by the way.
