looks like one of those things that you know will attach itself to your head and suck your brains out... lol although the little raised bumps where the screwdriver head is pointing looks like a Gastro-Intestinal tract..(??? maybe)...

LOL! I'm not bad at maths! the lotto ticket was more of a "what if...." purchase! oh well.. you win some.. you lose some.. I'd be better off buying all those fish i want instead... or another lorikeet.

agree 100% who saw Dr.Phill today? !!!!!!!!!!!

$92.40 That's what I spent. $0.00 That's what I got back. lol... never again. oh well.....

lol. imagine that.

if someone adds you to their blacklist - it means that you cannot bid or comment on their auctions.

so if mum is a bristlenose, and dad is a bristlenose... right? so what on earth is pic 2? more importantly why is it there? lol pleco + bristlenose does NOT = bubba fish. period.

get some slaters (woodlice). you should be able to find them in a damp part of your garden / backyard under wood and rocks. feed them potatoes, veges.... v easy to keep - they breed fast, and they aren't as icky as cockroaches.

PM'd!

before? nOoooooooooooooooo!! after - exams before that!

if there is a document that has your name on it, and it contains information about you - then you have the right to access that info - unless pending inquiries from the courts etc... I wouldn't think that any one can access PM's - surely the privacy act comes into play here. if PM's were to be accessed - you would need a court order. again I think it is best to confirm any matter of legalities with the admins and/or a legal professional.

OUCH

:bounce: :bounce: they are beautiful!

lol.. you certainly are having a good time breeding your fish aren't you? :lol: its courtship behaviour - unless its 2 males, in which case the winner of the lock-jaw gets to breed! lol ............i think...........

yeh... they are surprisingly good parents... mine made sure that the pictus i had were kept far away.. male would chase them and flare him self up... have a go at this.. and let us know how it works out! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

innate behaviour. all fish eat their babies for a reason. it isn't always because of things like "stress" or jsut because they are crap parents, lol.... it all depends on if you believe in darwin's theory of survival of the fittest. the parents will keep killing all batches until that one batch that is strong survives. it could be that after a few batches they are more confident, experienced (??? who knows what actually goes on in a fish's head lol)... then out of the kids that do survive, only the fittest, strongest will survive to maturity - thus ensuring a strong gene pool for the next generation. I let my rams kill off the fist few batches, and then they took care of the 1 batch that they deemed "fit". those babies grew up and were absolute stunners. I usually let fish act like they would in the wild. Now if you were breeding some sort of endangered fish.... lol... keep all the babies. oh also ive found that fry brought up by their parents made better parents as well (this isn't just me talking lol - there is a whole biology paper that blabs on about all of this lol)... haha

seconded.... lol :bounce:

7 days for rams? mine hatched on day 3 and were wrigglers at day 2. they eat about 2 or 3 days after they hatch. i did raise mine with the parents though, and they spent all day fanning the eggs.

perhaps sometime in nov or december - fish people from in and around palmy can meet up and have a "make your own stand / tank lid" workshop? I have a 4 ft tank and would be keen on making a cheap wooden lid for it too; and if there is someone here who knows exactly how we could all get together and have a workshop or something? just a thought....

just give it a while and then when you see a funagal growth - take them out. im not sure how cory eggs will deal with water changes - ive never bred them before. ( i presume by take then out you mean siphon the inviable eggs out?).

the white ones are inviable (infertile) and the other ones are fertile. put a very weak solution of meth blue in with the eggs - that'll keep the fungus that WILL grow on the white eggs from spreading out of control.

can the listing be reported or taken down for being fraudulent? or what about using copyrighted pictures? it clearly is.... maybe ill put a comment on the auction as well and join her blacklist club

lol... ive just been looking at the auction etc. i mean what the heck? you CANNOT just breed 2 completely different fish from different genus's together! i think the "fish" in the tank are just plain old worms or something. or maybe the laws of evolution, genetics and phylogeny don't apply here? lol you hear of something new everyday 8)

Oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh................. lol... my bad. hahaha.

yeah that's the egg sac. they will feed off that for a couple of days. the brine shrimp should hatch in brackish water - always works with an airstone in the water everytime i have tried it... doesn't matter as long as it hatched, lol... food is food.
