Hadnt really given it much thought Suppose I had betta....lol Will check it out Nav

I will have some limited tank space to hold some fish for some peope if that would help. All care no responsibility Nav

:bounce: :bounce: Another new speices well done Boban Good luck with breeding and I too would be quite keen on a few at some stage if you happen to have any going Nav

cabomba or ambulia? rainbows?

Of course I cover costs But I dont count time, food, heating, light, power, freight, bags, boxes, heat pads, tanks or purchase price of fish. I considered including in my sales price losses, chemicals and meds, % of set up like pumps and stands and paint and flooring and plants and substrate and caves and the rarity of the fish to begin with but I quickly discarded that idea and thought to myself "no no I shall just let the market dictate to me what the price of these fish should be I mean who am I to worry about outlay and expense when it has taken me 25 years to gain the knowledge and the networks to get the fish and then breed them before setting a $ value on them as well" and decided to just do that instead Well I mean dont you all do it that way? :roll:

If you are starting out to breed for $$$ then you will loose. Start by breeding what you like and if you can sell some then so be it. From there look at other styles of fish I breed and sell 60 species of fish but I barely cover costs Yet I know of others who make a "killing" but then they are also not active here. Whilst I would like to earn more from this, it is a hobby not a business for me, so breed the fish you like and go from there. Good luck and if I can help let me know Nav

Is that your 2.4 tank David? Nav

marinate 1 breast per person in a mix of seasoned plum sauce and ginger overnight bring to room temp lightly fry or bbq for 1-11/2 minutes per side or until just pink in the middle allow to rest Whilest still warm slice into 1 cm strips on an angle and across the grain Serve on a rocket salad with crispy noodles and thinly sliced pear (optional) or place on brusceta and pile salad on top drizzle with dressing of your choice HTH

Pictures please acara. lol

vincentdiscus? try flosty lynnie or discusguru on here fonts of knowledge

Acara what else do you have with your shellies? Sorry to hijack thread Toddy I have a couple of big BN males you can have for your tank if you like

Many thanks for the link

Man Now I know I dont need to move to your place cause it sounds like you have been living at mine....I remember when power bills were that cheap...lmao Worth every ..well nearly every cent tho Nav

Well done to you all my EB rams get them to wrigglers then they disapear would be greatfull of any tips Navarre

So for the less subtle. yes I couldnt leave it alone I imported ten of these about 12 months ago One was lost is shipping and the rest were taken to my room I gave four away and they have since been removed from any possible breeding program I have two pairs I think left and they go thru the motions about once a month or so but I just can not get them to raise fry. So it is a work in progress. Stunning fish in the flesh and no pictures I have seen do them justice If an importer can gather more then I am up for it first of the rank. Mine are filamentosa as maculata are rarer in the hobby and is a location based varient. Both are very nice fish and well are a work in process...hmmmm Thats about it really Nav

Oh to be so lucky I was going to suggest I should spend some time there myself but was hoping to breed my fish not me....lmao

S panamense? Well done. I have some brewing at the moment care to share any tricks of the trade?

Reef I have spotted a small problem with you tank and set up. Its not in my lounge Sorry :roll:

Subtle :roll:

140 kg isnt that heavy...take my word for it How every this scene is Just get out Puffer Sounds dodge

They are not JDs They are either acara or rivulatus ( spelling) hard to tell sometimes between the two...sometimes Also a variety with yellow edging to dorsal fin HTH Nav

You seemed to have missed the obvious one Jack Dempsey

I woudl go for Wet newspaper in quanties. Cheap easy to find and can be dug in If you use straw and hay then you may introduce more weeds. Sawdust can be good as well When we were kids our autum job was to dig old sand and sawdust mix (50/50) out of chook shed and spread on disused garden plot and then mix and fill chook shed up with a new layer...was fun but not pleasant....lol in spring garden was turned over and planted out

baked potatoes we call you down here Mystic Brownon the outside White in the Middle Same as me tho Luvvvvee titi and stuff but cant stand hangi Draw the line at Kina as well grandma used to dig a hole on the beach and get all the kina that we found and put it in a sack and leave it for weeks then we would go back and all the spines will have fallen off then she woudl sit and drink those Kina like there was no tomorrow. Gagging just thining about it

But you are all forgetting There is NO Replacement for Displacement
