  1. Ok. Go with their tips rather than mine... Good luck
  2. Well done with the fry.... Personally I wouldn't be feeding them solely on microworms... In the past I have tried this and have ended up with numerous "body sliders" which end up emaciated and eventually pass away. Now that you have got them to a decent size try different live foods like live brine shrimp, baby daphnia or baby mosquito larvae if they are actually big enough to take these. Well done and good luck...
  3. I struggled to get my PH to stay stable when using the Peat Moss in the sock trick, with tap water, but was able to get a better result when using rain water.
  4. As always... Top photo's Joe! I see one in there for POTM :thup: Try putting a mirror up to lure the male out.
  5. I have around 30 free swimming fry as of today! :happy2:
  6. Beautiful fish. One of the nicest I have seen. Good score :thup:
  7. Yeah, figured it wasn't sprats... Had a laugh when I saw that title

  9. GrahamC, I bet you were in the debating team at school! :slfg:
  10. They should be fine. I am sending some to Joe next week and he is also in Invercargill so you could share freight costs :thup:
  11. Cool. If you want to swap for a female at any time let me know.
  12. Have had 2 seperate spawns from these young ones. 1 in the main tank, which I think have been eaten and another lot spawned today. The fish are small and the eggs may may be as little as 20 but still exciting! :happy1:
  13. Alongside Adrienne's fish I would have to say David Lw's fish were of the highest quality. I understand he has gone out of fishkeeping which is a big loss to all...
  14. A couple of recent pics...
  15. I post them with the bags lying down. More surface area for the fish....
  16. Nice fish Joe. That male is impressive and will only get better with time. Good luck with them :thup:
  17. Try Bilbo for the Apisto's as I think he has some at the moment....
  18. I do agree with Simon. More places to land... more eggs. And GrahamC.... Just sieve through the info off here that you find usefull. Simon is a very experienced member here. Test it for yourself... One with nothing to land on and one with something.... then you be the judge.
  19. Plenty of test kits on the market... try yr LFS.
  20. Surely you must have googled this topic? Heaps of info....

    hello

    I know what you mean with the Apistos. They can be very trying to say the least. Will look out for your progress with them. Good luck.
