If you breed related fish to repoduce a specific trait it can be called "line breeding"

I have never heard of that before. Has anyone else out there tried it?

100 in one 30L tank and 100 in another 30l tank. I have got a 3 foot tank cycled and waiting for the females and another 3 foot tank full of jars that the odd stropy male is starting to go in to.

At a guess I recon that there are 150-200 fry. We are just starting to cull the small ones and are having to separate the odd male that is already show signs of aggression. they were all in a 30l tank but split them up into two tanks on Tuesday. I will post some more pics as they develop

The Tank without the stand is 900mm deep and has a radius of 350mm. I re did the math and it is 346L not 360L (but i wasn't out by much) http://www.online-calculators.co.uk/vol ... volume.php

About 360 Litres

Cheers. Got any for sale? Available at most lfs i spose.

I feel that it needs some good hardy tall plants that Gouramis don't eat to help with the aesthetics. Can anyone recommend any?

I Finaly got around to taking a couple of pic's but they really don't do it justice.

They vary in size from 10-15mm. We started feeding them brine shrimp as soon as they were free swimming and thats all they have had.

Here are a couple of pics of the parents. The fry are 5 weeks old

A couple of pics of some of my tanks

Hopefully they are bigger this time

I'm trying to make the photo's larger but im not having much joy

I thought that i would show you these. What do you think?

hopefuly bigger this time

i want one of these

I used Conroy Removals. They were very good and charged me about $300 for a 360l tank plus stand from Auckland to Nelson. However it was new and in its original packaging.

I just saw an ad on tele. The Documentary Channel on sky is screening a documentary called "Age of Aquariums" Tuesday at 9pm. I Just thought you all might like to know.

This tank is already quite heavily planted with Amazon sword, Ludwigia, pennywort and windelov fern

Thanks Ryan, I will try the credit card approach. I'm hoping that the winter months will help relieve the problem.

Thanks Ira. Any other ideas on how to reduce green spot algae that don't involve moving my tank? Mitzy, cheers but i already have plenty of plecs and algae eaters and they dont really touch green spot algae

My favourite display tank gets a little too much indirect light and consequently is the the only tank I have with green spot algae problems. As I'm sure you are all aware its a pain in the bum to clean especially as this tank is 700mm deep and an acrylic tube design. I'm thinking of getting a UV filter to help kill the spores. Can anyone tell me if a UV filter will help and if so what is a good brand or design. Cheers
