[Spawning Betta's in a mirrored tank?]

I wonder if that would work?

Perhaps it would just get soaked. I might use opaque plastic or a plastic place mat.

[Spawning Betta's in a mirrored tank?]

They're kind of expensive but good thaught. Might make a DIY tank background but not as bulky.

[i found some fry]

I love these stories.

A while back some disease broke out in my tank so I moved the BN's into a tank I had just prepared for my new Betta. They decided that was a good time to breed so I left them in there. When the fry were big enough I cleared out the parents and caught about 10 fry, I was sure I got them all. I then vaccumed the tank and drained it till it was almost empty. Refilled it with cold tap water and started up the tank power again. To my surprise, the next morning when the water had cleared, there was a little baby Bristle Nose sucking on the glass.

Shows how tough BN's are!

Congrats on the fry, it's not too easy to breed barbs, is it?

Be thankful that you got some free fish!

[Spawning Betta's in a mirrored tank?]

I have a small tank (45x25x25) used for breeding and rearing various fish. I've just re-done the silicone on it and it's been tested and it's leak free.

I would like to try spawn my Betta's/Fighter's in it but the only problem in that the rear wall of the tank is a mirror. My male goes nuts when he sees his reflection and even after a small flare, he seems exhausted. What should I do?

A. Leave it as is and see how it goes

B. Cover it up with something

C. Paint it

D. Use another tank

Please advise on how I would paint it or how I could cover it up.

Thanks

[HELP ME HELP ME my VT ate half his tail]

I don't think he would have eaten it, perhaps caught it on some of the tank decor?

Use a commercial Betta healing medicine or Idian Almond Leaves. You can get IAL on TradeMe.

Good luck

[African Frogs?]

Can we get these frogs? They look kinda cool.

[African Frogs?]

Dang. Don't the Golden Bell frogs grow quite large?

Perhaps I'll have to "find" some? Lols.

[African Frogs?]

I've heard heaps about the African Dwarf (Hymenochirus boettgeri) and African Clawed (Xenopus laev)frogs on American websites and I was wondering if we have them here in NZL?

I remeber seeing a few at the Napier aquarium.

Nice, but not as nice as some of the AGA aquascaping entries, especially the nano's. (http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org/2009.cgi)

[OMG .. OMG .. guess what!!!]

Nice. My BN's have only spawned twice.

First time I didn't even know until I saw the little yolksacks with fry attached.

Second time he made it a bit more obvious, sitting on the filter with a clutch of bright yellow eggs.

5 days then another 5 days before they're free swimming

Are you sure? Mine just hugged the filter and moved a little for the first two days but were out and about after that.

Good luck.

[Good deal on tank?]

Just one brand new, custom made tank.

[community fish]

Why do you never have the gut to ship,

If it wasn't for shipping we probably wouldn't have half the Fish we have here in NZ.

If it wasn't for shipping then all we'd have would be natives.

It's funny how they put clownfish and goldfish in the same tank yet you're not supposed to put Betta's and Goldfish in the same tank and they're both freshwater. I thought clownfish were warm water and goldfish were cold?

[Good deal on tank?]

Is $90 a good price for a tank measuring 850mm long x 500mm high x 250mm deep?

Thanks

[Ideas and help needed in setting up a new Discuss tank]

Nice ADodge!

[Crypt Flower Project********(NEW FLOWER PICS ADDED)*********]

Nice job

The tank for the crypts is now complete.

(what a mission, was the first time Ive attempted to make a tank, so excuse the messy silicone,lol)

I just re-did the silicone on my little tank 'cause it was about 100 and something years old and now it looks terrible. So much extra silicone but at least it should hold.

[Green Tank Water]

Once again, what colour is the water?

Green water usually means algae. Use a UV sterilizer or cut back on lighting and feeding and do a large water change. Possible full tank black-out may be needed.

Brown/Yellow/Tea Coloured water can mean that there are tannins in you water. These lower your pH and usually come from driftwood or peat in the filter

White/Cloudy water is what I get whenever a start up a new tank. It's just the water before it's settled down.

[Baby Angel Fish]

Congrats. Try and use the Macro function on your camera a crank the ISO up to the max. I've found that setting your camera like this is really good for photographing fish.

[Tank Dividers]

I've seen them for sale at my LFS but didn't buy any. They are around but I'm sure you could make your own. Might take a bit of work a fine detailing but it can be done.

[Anyone here bred Hypancistrus zebra?]

If someone invested $2000 intoa decent breeding pair the they could stand to make ALOT of money. If only I had the money lols

[THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED WITH PLANTS]

Nice job!

Is it just me or is that tank yellow? Using peat?

[Stackable Plastic Box for a Tank??]

If you're going to use a container (use it for the guppies) make sure it's safe. I had a big black rubbish bin from the Warehouse for keeping water in for my water changes and it smells a bit off. Used water from that for a while but now it's full of sand, don't trust it.

Good luck

[Angelfish tank?]

How deep does a tank for angelfish need to be?

How deep is your angelfish tank?

Thanks.
