Heres my male GBA He is huge maybe 11cmor slightly bigger? cheers Kyle

Hi brought these guys a couple of days ago They are Peckoltia sp of some kind not 100% sure which but maybe L080? kyle

Hi I brought this couple of apsitos a month or so ago and was wondering 1 Are they a Pair 2 What species(brought them as sp purple) Female? Male Both cheers Kyle

nope like a lower to medium ph kyle

L52.Marking are only a giudeline.Young L52 like your ones have much better stripes.I have seen the L168 in aus and they are different to L52 adults.These guys for 8cm in nz at the moment will cost you $192 .I got mine when they were cheaper and got a pair.And please as i have said it is not L168 kyle

kyle

here is the pic cheers kyle

DEFITNELY NOT L270 lol sorry.HE is L52 kyle

L52 but almost could be l168 but doubt it most of nz butterflys are l52 http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=706 or http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=983 I know u will say he looks more like L168 but your lines arnt nearly defined as much and plus i have bred these guys a few time the young are way more colourful than abults.But alsom remember these guys are called butterfly plrcs because they change colour against gracel and mood. cheers kyle

can be imported from countries which have bred them in captivity.America is getting wild caught ones again which are coming from other countries rather than brazil but they are illegally taking them out of brazil(smuggle) and then ship them to US and i believe if the importers in Us prove they came from outside of brazil it is legal. kyle

woops sorry its not $10 for a female thats for babies.But um ye if you want ive got someone picking up 2 pairs tonight il see what i have left over. kyle

well i have a few spare young females.Inbreeding wont be much trouble with the as they were inbred anyway by one melanistic being imported than crossed with normal colour and crossing again that is why sometimes we get a gba with a big blotch of brown.They are just as easy to breed as normal bn so price will drop.I am gonna sell some on trademe for $10 each when i can be bothered to write up some stuff.I also still owe stu a pair but havnt had anytime to ship but will ship on monday probably stu if your reading this.Anyways i have no idea why i am typing this so umm yea?? kyle

I believe the first person in the world to breed silvers was actually in nz.When i went to his store (just Fish) in taranaki sum where 8 years ago it was holding eggs.Dont know if he managd to raise them though? kyle

Not really tru whiptails maybe but i have spwaned L52 4 or 5 times and when i left them in their and the fry eventually left the cave the feamle ate them all apart from 3 so um ye. kyle

Ye sorry i get a bit confusing(i suck at english). Anyway this is the end of this subject! kyle

Nz has such a short supply of killies that we shuld keep these.Most of nz or all of nz gold gardneri were crossed with nigerianum so should we also kill them and have none left and probably never get them in??Comments like they shouldnt be bred coz there mongrels has no point to it as it is just different locations of bittaeniatum not different sp these 2 strains could LIVE 50km away from each other and may have just changed colour a bit even though the one in nz was believed to be an aquarium strain so was probably a hybrid anyway.So dont say dont breed them if u dont know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this has just been done a couple of months back with a guy bringing in zebra plecs feom aussie he said they cost him half the price of Hollywoods zebras so half of $600 = $300 not bad for a L46.The only down thing is he only brought in 2 as a test shipment i think hes going to bring some more in. kyle

Here are some of the catfish> L002 http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/loricari/panaque/735_F.PHP L204 http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/loricari/panaque/126_F.PHP Brown whip at a guess as this is one of the sp. from peru but fairly similar http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/loricari/rinelori/744_F.PHP And the white one is just a bit lighter than those ones above similar to parva. Hemiancistrus aka peru zebra as NZD is calling it but real name is imperial ranger. http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/loricari/glyptope/1295_F.PHP Bristle nose- Highly recommended tho beware they do not travel well CatBrat lost three on the way home with me and that was in 1 hr and mine even looked fairly bad when i got home but hav settled in niceley and look great. http://photobucket.com/albums/v491/kylefish02/?action=view&current=ancis11.jpg Spatuloricaria-Please dont get these as they are way to big already for ur tank as i have seen them and they are impressive just not for ur tank. http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/loricari/spatulor/768_F.PHP Leocassis sp. here are examples http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/bagridae/G_252.PHP SO i would have a think and maybe only get max three sp. of loricariidae as will fight and the maybe some discus and what not or maybe some of his apistos which he bought in which are awesome little fish. cheers Kyle

First i highly doubt anyone here can sex these guys as it is to the trained eye only.A mud wall is only half the problem as well as tank size and the u would still have to do rainy season so not much point.The commercial bred ones are bred in dams and 1 lady in aus breeds common plecs in her dam but u wont breed them in captivity trust me. kyle

Breeding = NO Sexing = NO kyle

Hey There not L199 there L270 there lines are not always stright and are no were near as far apart to be L199.Mine are going well 2 are sexually mature 1 male 1 female and 4 unknown. kyle

Its a Male cheers kyle

If u mean L128 they are thought to be smae species as L200 except are further north or south of the river and is only a colour varient.This has not yet been proven but i believe it is true. kyle

u could see my pond if u wanted.It isnt really amazing its actually green but the fish love it in their they grow twice as fast as in tanks.btw wat other killie do u have aquanut?? kyle

Interisting that you say u leave ur females only for 24hrs>i leave mine for a week with two females and 2 males and feed and main hatches get 50++>I have approx 120 choc australe in my ppond .My golds are the same except not as prolific maybe 20 per weak spawn.Btw remember choc australe com from very low oxygen level water so no oxygem pumped in water increases egg yield. kyle
