theres a lot of sheep in the background of the first photo all huddled together for warmth

if they do breed you will have floppy delta swordtails

i think you spelt "mating with" wrong

that bit of water a little south of you is called the cook strait phoenix and there is a bridge to cross from nth to sth island

mark on back suggests mechanical damage any way cat or anything has got him? noise like that is pain or fear

i got 650 :oops: can't stand the pad on the laptop :evil:

ok then it swallowed an old guy on an inflatable raft

would you believe a guy on a jetski

5430 and the anaconda swallowed the river boat

??

how are you defining a tank? glass with water in 6 big ones 1 medium 12 small ones plastic with water 2

my kids call it oldtimers disease alan :roll:

i think once you keep frontosas it is a love affair they have an aura about them took this set of photos one after the other the right hand side of the tank where the lumpheads and electric yellows hang out lots of babies hang out bottom right pile of rocks and the alpha fron owns the big cave in the middle middle of tank, a sort of everymans land they think its feeding time left hand side where brichardis lurk and breed flat rock leaning on left is where the other large fron hides

there is a few kilos of rock in there and some very large pieces :roll: the fronx, giraffe and astis are pretty cruisy fish the red top and yellow top are niggly the astis have grown and 2 largest frons are almost same size as the venustus

which bit do you like?

have you tried contacting trademe?

in healthy bubgies the cere (flesh part around the nostrils) is blue in males and brown in females a change os seed may have an effect depending on the quality and cleanliness of the seed bacterial infection in the gut is usuall smelly poos and bubbles in droppings can be worms tell her to leave droppings in cage so vet can see them

the front hunts at night the fronts are deceptive they seem like big cruisers but their turn and grab is very fast the dig male crabro is pretty agressive in the tank but it is spread around the tank and the giraffe is the top dog and not agressivee there are other fish that the bumblebee won't pick on as well took the auratus out as it was too niggly giraffe is pushing 9 inches maybe more

big fish is an 11 year old electric yellow had 4 of them but age has beaten the other 3, he has lost most of his black see the small fry at bottom of top pic i like the look with all the rock in yours i may add more to this one yet i think it will hlp fry survival rate

just been discussing natural selection in our african tank w have a large tank with a bit of rockwork and some large fish the bumblebees, brichardi, electric yellows and lumpheads breed fairly regularly has about 15 young bumble bee that i could see in the tank 2 or 3 weeks ago down to about 6 visibles so far they have to contend with these guys we end up with about 10% survival i suppose

you forget you have to have them at least 72hrs before they spawn :roll:

don 4get de punk2ashun

i take it you are talking fish
