looks good beardies are probably suffering agrophobia in that open space no chance of them being stunted by the enclosure size is there

thanks guys did a search and thought the same but wanted to make sure always best to get more than one opinion vheers

Is this a false percula or a percula clownfish ? brighter orange than photo, about 4cm any ideas ? bought on tm, hes lonely so am looking for a friend

syphon ours through a stocking one of my old ones

I feed bbs to all the small fish and fry, hadn't heard it was bad i just make sure its fresh, hatch in natural sea water as well others more experienced may have a different view though

Thanks luke yes is big, cost 400 with lights, small sump, pump, U.V. and stand. it was a good score. have a bigger tank for long term plans, david am trying to get some numbers together

Thanks henward kept smaller ones together before but not this size thought might be some domination over the territory so was going to try maybe a divider for a while and watch the body language going on

nice tank ?, pic below

I would like to know peoples experiences with keeping more than one sth american aro in the same tank, aros about the same size. tank 2.4 x600 x 600

the evil one was closest consolation prize - some albino cory fry

lucky no one got it as i don't even own a convict :oops: :oops:

somebody in taupo had them listed on trademe... sorry about that word normal dempseys that is

Daddy and son needed to make it big to see the little fellas cirri with [url=http://profile.imageshack.us/camerabuy.php?

release at 3 weeks, in the wild only 1 % of progeny reach adulthood, hence the up to 200 babies they can have at a time in the first 24 hrs after birth approx 50 % are eaten or die so they have a slim chance in the wild In the 80's i used to catch and sell them to the pet trade so as i was taking from the wild i think its only fair that i replaced more than i had taken, renewable resource and respect as well at 3 weeks of age their chances of survival to adulthood were greatly increased, let nature take its course after that. it is just a practice i have kept up, if you keep lots of horses you have babies to deal with our turtles lay approx 400 eggs each year but we only hatch 80 as we can only sell about that many each year as responsible owners can be hard to find

love the competition 1st prize a bucket of convict fryy 2nd prize 2 buckets of convict fry

love the horse pics djsurfs one of my favourite local marine scorpionfish

got 3, 2 from early import and smaller from later want some normals about the same size about 7-8cm to grow on with hopefully the sexes are 2 males and female want to try a few combinations of pairing as these are possibly related

hi Navarre how are the fish ? using pic as desktop at the mo

3 of these currently running with 9 loaches, BGK, 2 small senegals, 9 festivums and 2 large angels, do you think i could introduce 8cm normal dempseys into this group ?

fell in love when i saw them too the blue is intense

try some frozen or live daphnia on the smaller horses

half of our males have cirri and about 1/3rd of progeny, some get knocked off if they are tumbled too much when very young show tank is 5 foot x 20 inch x 20 inch breeding tank is a 1metre deep by 60 x60cm plastic bin courtship involves 2 or 3 males harassing a pregnant female and driving her upwards in the water, if the tank is too shallow they broach on the surface and transferal of eggs can't take place, sometimes the males will suck air into the open pouch and you have to release it or they can't swim properly. The same thing can happen with airstones in the tank it is a good challenge, first started keeping horses in 1984 been keeping them ever since, fry are susceptible to water quality, flowrate, live food and being eaten by the parents. We have a constant supply of fresh saltwater and brine shrimp, currently setting up a new breeding system with a 1,000 litre sump on a trickle flow, currently raise about 50% of fry and put 80% of them in the habour We feed frozen brine shrimp, mysis, daphnia and bloodworms float cubes in tank and up flowrate as they defrost they float around the tank and they chase them (enrichment program) for seahorses lol also feed live whiteworms, mosquito larvae, daphnia and brineshrimp run young with older horses to teach them to accept frozen food flounder is abot 4cm a bit big for any horses snout females can sometimes get eggbound with eggs putting pressure on internal organs, small males can go the same way if they are impregnated by a large female where the young grow too big for the pouch and crush internal organs good luck with the gee gees carznkats

the photos of the big ones are about 7 inches the small one, sister, about 3 inches

the diving bird Gannet has been fishing Topside underside too small to eat so he spat it out, 4cm

caroline has been taking photos again the other two are hiding since i put the pair of angels back in there must move them
