I fear we have hijacked this thread for our own business :rotf:

I am telling you these things for your own good, for a happy home.... you know it :sage:

I was thinking of swapping out the females in Tank 1/CPD as I still had found no more eggs, but as a last resort instead I decided to move the moss they were living in from the breeding box to the fry box. As I understood that the danio eggs are not adhesive, I didn't think anything would come of it but today I found at least 5 fry in the fry box :bounce: . Moss swapping is the technique used by some of the people on the CPD forum but I thought it would be prone to failure with the eggs dropping out when you move them, but now we will see. So with the 5 fry in the display tank, I just have to get these ones to a month old and then I have 10 to register. The experiment continues ... :smln:

Earlier in the week I took the log out to trim the moss as it was getting rather unruly and had some hair algae. When I put it all back I decided to put the log on the far right of the tank to give more planting space in the middle. What has happened is that the less dominant dario is not happy at all, it's like since I moved the log it's no longer his territory and he has nowhere to live so is hidden most of the time, I am not even sure if he's still alive :tears: . Am thinking of moving the dominant one downstairs for a while to see if he comes out to claim some territory but that could induce them to swap roles if killifish dominant male behaviour is anything to go by. The java fern on the log has started to go a bit brown which was also not in my plan :facepalm: . I have put some root sticks in for the other plants though, and have a couple more plants coming so will post a photo at some point. The fry I moved from the breeding tank is growing quite rapidly now too.

Does anyone have any links to good quality tortoise-keeping information they can share? I like the idea of having a tortoise or 2 but I don't know if my property could support them.

Ice222's new puppy :love:

Neon has a lot of platys in a planted tank, the fry swimming about with their goggle eyes are very cute

whatever your missus tells you is the truth and that's all you need to know :sage:

I like the combination of saltwater coral and freshwater plants :cofn:

take an antihistamine if you've got one, it should reduce the mcrash
