in conjunction with mal. green it works

I can only second what jen has said. It looks quite... odd. My recommended treatment would be (acriflavine) or malachite green and formalin.

male

would love to see the pics

:-? :-? :-?

they are good rams though. not the weak ones. there is no curse :lol:

yeah, taking care of the eggs is practise practise, practise. they can and will take care of eggs in a tank with other fish.

Not all fish jump :roll:

i reckon you should give this batch a go. I have 4 VT blue rams, and they are just as hardy as any other fish.

So I got the new female and 2 of those net fry separators. The battered male is in the separator in the fry tank, and the extra male and the new female are now in the tank with the pots in it. the old female that laid the eggs above is back in the main tank. The new female looks quite different to the old female, so maybe that's a good thing. Pics of the setup - New male New female Bottom fry grow out / hatching (fingers crossed) :lol: tank with net breeder with old battered male healing.

looks pretty normal to me

if you're sure its internal parasites, then what you're doing is fine. if it isn't internal parasites - Treat with Furan2 in a separate tank (small tank), temp at 32 with 50% water changes daily, replacing the amount of furan needed everyday.

Don't forget the white spot cure either. Do regular water changes and keep adding Whiet spot cure as it says on the bottle with each water change.

what! That's terrible! So sorry to hear this!

Tell me about it you were 100% correct. I saw the male cowering in the corner and that's when i realised there are probably eggs in the tank. female was (still is) exceptionally yellow. She is going to get evicted today. That poor male looks like he has just about had it. I have a new female arriving today so she can go with the male now. I also have to look at getting those net type guppy breeders. The really old ones that are quite large. Haven't seen them at animates but ill have another look today. I think they were made my marina. know which ones im talking about?

well i fed the female a very very lavish dinner. discus caviar. hopefully ill get more eggs in a week or so. i get another female when im up to leaving the house again, and then i can cycle between males.

yay! congrats! now to breed those other ones!

I'm in a particularly funny mood at the moment. :lol:

wow! everyone is reporting ottos breeding! it was previously almost unheard of! congrats! they are not easy to breed so you must be doing something right with the water. *puts ottos on the to buy list.

you know what I mean. First batch of survivors are gonzors :lol:

For all you pot bashers who don't like my purposefully built pots. beautiful non conventional pots.. mmmmm .. pots! :evil: :lol: The wooing process- Then this evening I found the male hiding, clearly being beaten up by the terrible woman fish. I don't normally like artificially raising babies, but ill do it for the first 2 batches. This batch is spoken for; for the time being.

discus attacked me when i stole their eggs.

you are using rock salt eh?

yeah. put a handful in. not 250gm though. more like 100gm.
