I always like the idea (although I don't always practice it) of several smaller heaters rather than one large one. It gives me peace of mind that if one fails (on or off) the other should prevent disaster before I can save things. Lets just say I'm once bitten...

I recall seeing one of those floating dead in one of the smaller lakes a few years ago. The koi they believe have been sterilized to avoid having a problem. No idea about the catfish. Years ago there was a ranger who used to walk around the place talking to everyone. He was a friendly old guy and told me they had turtles released in the lake. I have never seen any and he was murdered not long after so I could never find out. It probably would have been 20 years ago now.

If you have some softer wood in with them, you had better believe they will eat it. It is a slow process and you may only have to replace it annually.

I have bred danios and I don't separate them either. Beware of the bollocks people will try to tell you about doing this or that to make them breed...

It is truely a special kind of person who can ever get a picture of most of these fish!
-
This sounds like the typical pleco situation... I know it well.
-
Take those which look the most like the smudgespots and breed them with the other one you are getting and the existing one. They will slowly breed out the panda in them and become "pure" again over a few generations.

Duckweed is a nightmare when it gets into your tanks! Fortunately my angels eat it so I just have one tank growing it and harvest it every day as it multiplies exponentially.
-
So crazy geoff, do you have any offspring available? Particularly of the blue fin variety?

A bucket might do the job.

That really good going. I hope you can raise the leopard danios up. I would love to see someone breeding zebra and leopard danios. They're great fish to watch zipping around the tank.

His poor old ticker just couldn't take it huh? Other people don't get it. I've had the same with pets and others think big deal, get another one. Its great that you warned everyone else about the risks.... and lucky you didn't try it yourself! :lol: :lol: :lol:

What is "approved" ????? Do they mean to those likely to breed them or able to buy them in packs of 6????
It makes sense to buy a couple and pool them with other owners to get a breeding group. At least that would remove the need to buy them by the dozen to get males/females.
-
Large numbers?
-
If you can get females then snap them up!
-
Gibby was my first thought, but hey, if you sell it, get greative and call it a giraffe pleco and slap a $200 pricetag on it!
-
Just make it say cheese!
-
If our other animals had the same mortality rate as fish often do we would not accept it as normal.
At least fish don't tend to fetch a stick for you so you don't really get as attached. Its still a bugger, but I can accept it a lot easier than when my dogs die.

I'm such a big pleco fan. I really need more tanks!
-
the big one has been taking testosterone supplements which makes you angry
'roid rage...

No offence to anyone who likes them, but I really hope the longfin BN's don't become as prevalent in the BN genepool as the longfin zebra danios. Both look handicapped and its so hard to get strong healthy shortfin zeb danios now. I can see the same thing happening in the bristlenoses in a few years.
