I finally got a little movie made the other day of the loaches and rasbora getting a bit excited over a change in the filter position. I put the outlet out of the water so it made lots of bubbles and current, they thought it was Christmas. Apologies in advance for the purple streak of the light reflection on the right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjarmrXq_vM&feature=youtu.be

this site hints at reclassification this year http://www.stroodaquarist.co.uk/page931.html now I know why HFF calls them Emerald Dwarf Rasbora. Much more romantic and Wizard of Ozzy

From the email of Pete Cottle, the danio guy, their name is Microdevario erythromicron - we were all wrong :slfg:

edited....... first post changed while I was responding I like this one much better 8) I saw one in New World, looked quite good. I have never made one though it would be fun to do

that is so sweet. I love how she eyes the bugs and licks her lips 8)

I'm scared to put mine in the net breeder after the female rasbora I did that to died :oops:

What you are saying is that just because people break rules means it's OK to break them. It's not even a logical argument and is not making you look like an informed person. Next you'll be complaining about being put in jail for drink driving or having to do community service for shoplifting. Both of those acts are also OK because everyone else is doing it according to you. I suggest you keep your so called allowable rule breaking to yourself in future and stop attention seeking.

sorry to hear about your dog Jack

I wouldn't say they are 'ridiculously' easy to breed, only the first few fry in the community tank survived. I'd call guppies and platies ridiculously easy but these ones you do have to keep moving the fish if you want to save the eggs from being chomped. Of the 5 I mentioned above there is only 1 left, last week 4 of them disappeared but the biggest one lives on alone in the breeding box. Now I've got 2 more pairs in the breeding section of the breeding tank for a few days to see if I can get more fry. I like them anyway, I will keep at it :spop:

If I were you I'd just cut down the lighting so it comes on later in the day, 5 or 6 hours. That should help

Well my tip is this: take your time walking in and make some noise so they know you're coming, otherwise they won't have time to do their hair

the prospect of 'visiting' gorillas makes me laugh - do they know you're coming?
