[My Altolamprologus]

[On a brighter note....]

Its a bit soon to be thinking about getting some new fish dont ya think!?

[Wide & narrow tank lust]

40mm? You won't even be able to fit a plec into that without some kinda lubricant.

:lol:

Ira- Not all plecs are monsters, he probably means 'fancy plecs'

[Going to try bettas again.]

I think i might go with the first one, as i think i would get a larger variety of different colours.

And because her fins are rather long for a female.

[What species of hillstream loach?]

Ive heard there is a few species in nz of hillstream loaches, and i would like to try 2 or 3 in my puffer tank once setup.

Il have the temp at 25-26 ish and the puffers are Carinotetraodon travancoricus.

And i will have parts of the tank with high water circulation, and it'll be well oxygenated.

So would any species go around that temp? The tank is 80Lish.

[Mollies, just ID]

Some sailfins can get up to 15cm! Ive only ever seen one that was close to this size though, and only a few at 10cm

[What catfish do you own now?]

I would like a school of oto, but at $15 each i cant afford 5 or 6 right now, same goes for pygmy cories, so i havent got any of either YET.

[Going to try bettas again.]

So i just got another male betta, and hes not getting along with my other fish too well, so i thought before i get rid of him i will try breed from him.

This is him:

Want to breed him with this girl:

Or:

What i need to know is what size tank would be suitable for the spawning?

I have a free 15L and a 30L that will be free ina aweek or 2.

[Mollies, just ID]

Proabably a cross, but they do look nice and natural

[What catfish do you own now?]

I think you need some more cories and otos, they both like to be in groups or around 6 or more

[Mollies, just ID]

Most mollies are Poecilia sphenops. The different colours are just morphs of the same species. You can also get lyre tailed versions.

There are also sailfin mollies P velifera.

Realy?

The picture molly looks more like one of the sailfins to me or a hybrid atleast, Most mollies these days are hybrids As far as i know

[Mollies, just ID]

They are awesome!

They look like a wild sailfin crossed with my gold/white female :lol:

[Pond pH]

Getting rid of greenwater will get rid of food for the fry wont it>?

[Xing powder blue dwarf male gourami and dwarf honey female]

Hi Caryl, thanks for that. I thought the fry may be deformed and I'd have to dispose of them all.

Depend on what fish the dwarf honey is, theres a strain of c.lalia referred to as honey, but the normal dwarf honey is c.chuna.

2 different species

Is the honey the same size?

Maybe you should post pics

[Makes you wanna cry...]

The Hatchetfish are soo cheap :lol:

[On a brighter note....]

[What catfish do you own now?]

Simian- i think you missed the otos on the 'individual pleco collection' post

[Breeding tropicals outside]

Its impossible to ditch the frogs, they've been here for years, and they are treefrogs so they will be in the trees :lol:

Theres literally Hundreds of them

[Breeding tropicals outside]

How did you get on Dixon?

I mentioned it to my husband and he only said one word

"NO!"

He said NO to putting something on the grass, but is letting me build a pond around 150x80x40cm in the garden Where we cant grow anything, BUT its right besiide the frogpond :evil: Doesnt matter though, il put a cover over it and hope the frogs dont want to go there :lol:
