SORRY Amy & Dave to hear about your eggs being munched by Dad but keep trying...both my pairs are doing the dancy thing and females fattening up again in seperate tanks now so here's hoping AND GOOD LUCK Olly...keep us posted please

OH B*****!!! Mum has eaten the eggs Never say die though

engrossed

illicit

naturally

UPDATE: The female I shifted to a breeding tank with her mate has laid approx 15-20 eggs in the new cave and is guarding them very well so I took the male out and keeping my fingers crossed for fry

Yes! Have a few photo's of when I first got them but got so caught up with sorting them out yesterday that I didn't think to take any photo's. :-? Have a bit of a brain fart when I try to pu photo's on forum so maybe if you send me your email addy I'll send photo's to you and if you feel like it you can put on forum?

Yes! The eggs are a orangey colour and my male also went very yellow along his belly and his fins were continuously flared. UPDATE: The eggs on the driftwood are kind of being looked after by the other pair I have but don't think they're caring for them properly as I've seen them both out in tank at the same time, reckon it's more a case of wanting to set up home there. Meanwhile the pair I shifted into a breeding tank have settled in and are already doing the dance and picked a cave so am happy to wait and see if next time fry eventuate

Thanks Ryan

Thanks Ryan....the driftwood she has laid the eggs on is HUGE so do you mean I should scrape the eggs off carefully and place near their new cave in breeding tank?

I have 2 pairs of triple red cockatoos which have paired up and one pair have been prancing and coloured up really nicely so I decided I should seperate them because the other male and guppies kept coming over for a nosey and were getting chased away from the corner they've chosen with a rock caverns and driftwood. This pair are now set up with their own private breeding tank and with hat mission complete I started shifting the rocks from the corner they were in in the community tank to see if any eggs had been laid. I didn't see any eggs BUT on the upside of a piece of driftwood I'd say there are about 30 eggs.....What do I do? Leave the driftwood where it is as the other pair are now hanging round there, try and shift the eggs off the driftwood into breeding net...PLEASE can someone help

Thanks Stella...awesome idea for the waterfall

Thanks Anita & Paul Wasn't worried in the least :-? ....hopefully now the info's known there'll be more people attending and Caryl may need help with the avalanche of articles she'll receive :bounce: Beautiful place to hold the conference also

Thanks Spoon

What's the lowdown on the conference, beds, writing articles, etc. Am guessing I'm probably not the only newbie who has no idea what's involved and you might get lots more people attending if they know about it Sounds like a lot of fun..are they run every year, where's this years conference being held?

About to start a small water feature using a bathtub and would really like some suggestions please on setting up/maintenance/plants, etc. Am going to be keeping White Cloud Mountain Minnows and Leopard Fish in it.

THANKS ANITA...really am gutted but he's looking a tiny bit better tonight I quaratined Big Boy and added salt on Day 1 and have tried Wonder Tonic but got advised to try Furan so have dosed him with this. My white male lyretail sailfin is also recovering slowly so am keeping my fingers, toes and eyes crossed Just found a website which might help us all if future mollies get the same symptoms and also incudes other molly ailments and treatments:- http://www.wetwebmedia.com/FWSubWebInde ... isfaqs.htm MEL - Hope something on the link above helps your mollies

Same thing has happened with 3 of my mollies and thought it was a genetic weakness but am beginning to wonder now if you've got the same thing happening with your mollies....am really gutted cause my favourite dalmation male has done the same thing about 4 days ago? If anyone can help it would really be appreciated
