    Hey Joe. You have prompted me to get one of these going. Some good looking green water, great for those little daphnia and great for your Apisto fry when you get those going

    You got some with eggs Jen? Our thoughts are with you guys down there. Unfortunately lost Hongsloi male the other day... Turned palish over night and dead the next day??? Other fish all ok... :-?

    Another lot of Macmasteri eggs and 2 sets of Agassizi eggs! Surely this time!!!!

    Nice Joe!. A few moons ago I used to work for a goldfish farm and we used to "seed" large fry raising ponds with daphnia. They were great for getting the young fry off to a good start. We used to feed the daphnia with milk powder as i remember.

    Possibly.. I do remember there being another species of ant, possibly another native that was twice the size of these and a lot more bulky and more sluggish. They had the same yellow pupae but there was usually less of them in a nest to the ones you have pictured. Both these species I used to find regularly nesting under or within rotting logs.

    I used to keep these ants as a kid. They were quite ferocious as I remember, pulling apart flies in minutes, and they had a mean sting to boot!

    Hey. This guy had one on T/M Listing #: 356910206. But he wasn't sure if the female was still alive... It is in expired listings.

    I end up with heaps of them in the bucket with the mosquito larvae. I just stir up the muck at the bottom of the bucket and scoop it out wit a net and rinse away the mud and am left with plenty of bloodworms!

    All good Thanks Joe
  18. danval
    Hey Joe. They looking good, and yes pic 4 looks like my female . Along with Ryan's comments on food, I have been feeding frozen bloodworms, live bloodworms, mosquito larvae and fly eggs!. Good luck

    As you said Ryan, they must have been infertile as all gone today....
  20. danval
    You could be right Ryan about the infertility, but as far as Apisto Whisperer.... And more tanks I need but no more space!

    There is only mum in there and I doubt the eggs would survive without her as there are numerous small snails in the tank.... Just trying to keep her well fed so she doesn't snack on the rest! :evil:
  22. danval
    Unfortunately the egg numbers have dropped.... Maybe about 20 left... :-?
  23. danval
    Thanks all. As we all know, the hardest part is yet to come

    After doing a water change this afternoon I notice my pair had disappeared down a bamboo pipe so I had a look and sure enough there were eggs!. So happy I have a confirmed pair. Will put some pics up of the eggs tonight if they make it that far.
