thats what im hoping for they havnt bred before i did a water change saturday and he went in later that day and hasnt come out yet :bounce:

my BN male climbs right out of the water up the glass where the filter outlet runs down hes 100mm long and he gets clear of the water if its low enough. he sits on top of the suction cup that holds the spray bar for upwards of half an hour sometimes :lol: not at the moment though hes been in his cave for a few days not even coming out to eat

achilles

they grow about 1-3cm longer each year and can live for 120 years so its anywhere above 50yrs

I like this one

but my work isnt finished .............(it never will be)

looking up the East Coast from a hill above Tolaga Bay A little waterfall in Wairoa Lake Tutira near Napier

Stellas tanks sound quite famous I dunno how mine will compare I have 3 2 community tanks and a fry tank people can come and look if they want??

The water coming out of the tap at my place is very variable in pH ranging from 6 to 7 although usually nearer 6 Im looking for a rock or substrate that I can put in my tank to buffer the water at 6.5 for my discus. when the pH out of the tap is high my discus suffer but when its at 6 the guppies look terrible What should I do? the discus seem to be happy in the range of pH 6.2-6.8 and the guppies at anything higher than 6.3

have a look at your computer if its a newish laptop it should have a slot that your card fits into - the card will show up in "my computer" much faster

im doing daily water changes in a heavily planted tank - will that stunt them? (am new to discus)

ok il look into it. Id love to go on a tank crawl. i guess you guys could come to my place too but i only have 3 tanks with fish in and one of them is an ugly breeding tank so i dunno if anyone would want to come?

i wouldnt think for a full grown discus but my rams are longer than my discus at the moment. should i wait until the discus grow before mixing them?

I agree with you there I plan to cut down to six once they have coloured up and I can choose my favourites. I would prefer cardinals but they way more expensive :-? I wouldnt try to breed them in there but they spawn when they want to. If the rams decide to spawn in with the discus, will they harrass the discus much?

they arent currently together but im thinking about putting 10 young discus in a 250L tank with a pair of blue rams and maybe a school of neons or cardinals

should call one stinky

:oops: well.... you kill half their siblings by your flatmate turning the heater off and dont feed them for a week cos you think they are all dead. when you look back in the tank cos you're thinking about trying again, they are enormous :lol: I dunno how they survived the cold but there was lots of little creatures that i could only just see (<1mm) that they were feeding on when i found them again. I put them in with the guppies to breed the parents again and they are growing fine (although not as fast as they were in a 150L tank by themselves) they spend all day picking at the ground for decap brineshrimp the guppies and discus missed

they keep trying to breed in my community tank. i havnt got a spare tank to put them in until my gouramis grow up. will the discus be ok in with them when they spawning? the rams are currently the same length as the discus at about 3.5-4cm

cheers

thats what i been thinking :lol:
