Well hes got people that likes them Not me personally but its his choice and im sure the petshops well take them as they already sell them good way for him to get a bit of money to buy stuff for his fish

Just pick one and give them a week or so in there and keep feeding them up , regular water change and see whats happens i dont know what the balloon ones look like when they full of eggs but with the normal she gets quite fat and pink tummy etc and her tube hangs a bit more or is more noticable .

Planaria? Planaria are often found in aquariums with uneaten food. You should not use the water from the petshops

Very Interesting indeed Not sure i would be keen to try it lol

Hey cam I used a 30 litre tank to breed my golds, had a sponge filter on low and a stone and pot in there plus a log with java fern on it , i put them in there primed them up on blood worms live food etc then next day eggs. I also had been feeding them well before i put them in there.

Did you watch them the whole time ? If not then it may be possible that they have done it look in the nest and you should be able to see eggs or maybe shes not ready yet. Did you feed them up well before doing this ? Was she full of eggs?

Ouch Wonder if she will want to hold the bag again :-?

Picked up four clown loaches to add to my collection Glad i didnt get any of the rams the bolivans had real sunken in bellies didnt look very healthy at all.

Thanks for that, I was such in a panic as they were doing it for agers and draging each other all over the tank and so looked like they were gonna suck each others lips off lol Should i put some salt in the water as there lips are real red and sore looking ?

Nice pics , they look great

I have no pegs either and use dryer non stop , computers running all day gas heater on kids have showers that last for ever but summer be here soon yay

Thanks all , there lips are a bit sore and red but seem to have stopped for now

I have a car from 6 onwards if you can't sort something out. Just pm me if ya need me

Im in upper hutt but got no car during the weekdays but do at nite but that might be too long

I would just use one female and see if thats makes a difference

Have you got a lid or half a poly cup or floating plants in there for him to build a nest under ?

Yeah I have read that but theses are dragging each other over things and the males lips are red and i think hers might be but cant get a good look cause they keep lip locking. I am sure they not meant to hurt each other

My Golds severums are lip locking and have been doing that on and off for the last 30 mins or so and Don't seem to want to stop is this normal for them to do this. Once they lip lock he seems to drag her all over or the other way round. I put food in there hoping that they would stop but nope not interested in food. I am just a little concerned as his top lip is looking real red. Should i remove one for time out. They dont normally do this well they kiss or whatever every now and then but nothing like this, this really looks like they trying to suck each others lips off. Thanks in advance

I have blue rams too but like the gold better

Just rang them Cam and One left but told me they were balloon But thanks anyway

I want them clown loaches :evil:

Our power bill is around $400-$480 thou that is gas too. 4 tanks running 2 of which have lights One has jebo 815 running tho didnt notice a hike in the power when i started using that. 2 Adults 3 kids.

I once had platties in with sword tails and there was no interest I think if they have there own breed in there its fine.

Im pretty sure the severums will rip your plants and eat them , I had some long grass in with my severums and they ripped it up and then it was floating and now its gone so guess they ate it lol Im not sure what kind of plants could stand being ripped up. Java fern is hardy as to weather the severums will eat it is a different story
