hi, i have 3 large tanks 1 is home to the coldwater fish, 1 is tropical and the other is a tropical in the making

hey all what kind of around the house stuff can i use, oh and does the wood have to be drift wood? im wanting to change my tanks around

sorry should have stated i have another tank and am getting another heater today also they are both approx 100ltr tanks should be fine for homing only swordtails and guppies. once others are sold.

if you could find out a price i can get them next week i think?

Yeh i told pet shop owner its not rare and he was all like well i cant get any and im not selling you the tiny bit i have lol. I also have a new filter that is on the other side of the tank to where the moss will be placed on the rocky ornament Ive also orderd some more guppies well actually 15 of them lol. im hoping my mum can pic them up this afternoon sometime so will let you all know what colors i get. i think they are only young so a breeding net will be there home till the moss gets here, (only if they are fry they wil stay in the net....Dont want them to die or get eaten)

im trying to get some 2day hopfully from wellington region..just waiting for a e-mail back now. how much for some and how much to post?

i recently brought 9, (lost 3) and since then ive wanted more. my fav fish are now guppies and swordtails. Im wanting to clear out my tank now just for those 2 breeds. Anyone intereaseted in any of these? Pair Black tetras Female heavy with eggs 2x red phantom tetras 2x cherry barbs (full of eggs) 2x golden barbs (full of eggs) PM or message me here if your intereasted in any

Well i only have 1 preg female left, oh and also one gave birth in the 5 way breeder then jumped the barrier and ate the babies not much i could have done apart from place her back in the tank with the others,.... am now waiting for this girl to have her babys safely and also looking at getting some more i really cant wait for the swordtail babies to arrive (none will be for sale guppies & swordtails)

Wow adodge your a legdeon (sp) i wil be sure to let you know when they arrive and ill try and post a pic of my tank once its in. Thanks heaps

opps i think i done that wrong but my answers ar in the quote lol

I have other tanks yes just waiting on another heater and some ornaments and that will be the guppy tank in the near future, thanks for your advice.

oh really. (EDIT: swearing removed. Read the guidelines please - Caryl ) I better get her out, and hope she waits till the moss arrives thanks for letting me know, as i love swordtails and id love some more

swordtail has a gravid spot, so she can stay in the net till i see babys, and guppys can stay in the breeder till they have their babys then they will be releced back into the tank, (hope to have the moss to set up around a rocky ornament so they young can be releced earlyr than normal. or should i wait till they are 4 weeks old

with my female guppys i can see the (gravid spot) and i think mayb i can see wee eyes on the bigger females. im not sure about the swordtail i wil go take a look now.

Thanks adodge so much that would be lovely you have mail. also i will take the mother swordtail out once i see some babies, how long do they really take to have babys, sorry for all the Q im really new to this. and all this is sooo exciting :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

i have what i think 5 preg guppys, i can clearly see the black eyes of the babies on 4 of the females but one female looks yellowy where it should be black? what does this mean and also how long does it take them to have the babies, as i dont want them in a 5 way breeder for ages,

ok thanks also will a mother swordtail eat her young?

ok im off to take her and the net out now, thanks for your help. if i can catch the eggs before they get eatn what do i do with them?

sorry, just wanted quick answers lol.

umm ok about the tetras....so i guess ill just let the female back into the tank.....what will happen to her babies then? Yes i have only put the females in the breeding nets and 5 way breeder. Am looking at getting some java moss of TM soon to.

i have just set up 2 breeding nets and a 5 way breeder, in 1 net i have the pair of black tectras. in the other net i have the pair of swordtails. is this ok and yes buy pair i mean m & f. In the 5 way breeder i have my 5 guppys but as soon as they all have had ther babys they will be taken out and they will be my raising tanks. in the 2 breeding nets i have some sort of a fern cause fish shop recons that java fern is rare so he wont sell his lol....so im going to look at TM for some. have i done everything right.
