sorry it is just a 30l tank with 15 babies heater is running at 27degrees and filter system is just a canister type one with cotton wool, in the centre it has a air bubble thing. The tank is bare but after your comments i'll get some plants.

do you need to go to the dinner to get into the auction??

thanks for that sounds about right. should I just do the daily changes for a week??

I agree! seperation is the best way. I have also found that once they have come out of the mums mouth it is best to leave her in there for a couple of weeks then pull her out. This helps them get their confidence up and she shows them what to do so they learn everything quicker. If you leave her in there much longer I find she starts to eat them! odd really :-?

I have got some babies and they are in a little tank. They were all happy and swimming around until on sunday when I did a water cahnge ( like I do every 3rd day) but I also cahnged the filter wool and now they are all swimming around on the top not happy at all. Would they have boated stomach due to eating all the crap when I was cleaning it? anyone know what I should do as they don't look like they will make it much longer!

thanks for that. also how big should the new ones be just incase they get eaten. half the size of the existing or maybe quarter?

Right here we go. I have a fully set up tank with lots of hiding places and get away spots but for some reason some of them seem to be dying off due to being beaten up! Tank is 120cm x 50cm x 40cm Now in the tank I have 2 male yellow electrics 3 mech... johan.. blues ( sorry don't know spelling) 1 golden striped cichild and a red tail shark and a couple of barbs Last night they (the johani.. blues and electric yellows)beat up the other golden striped one but I was too late to save it, it died over night in a isolation tank And a month or so ago the beat up both my breading female electric yellows!! A) how do I stop this ( Ithought she had eggs in her mouth and transferred her but 6 weeks later no luck!) B) how am I going to introduce some more if I want to buy them at the show next weekend!

You can get them through Wanganui Dolittles for about 180.

Also what is the NZKA???

I know palmie has one but i have been slack so far. so I might call them tonight to join. With the auction do you have to be a member??

Hey in the tank will be silver dollars, plecs, cats, angels, dwarf cockatto things, clown loaches, kuili loaches and kissing gouramis. (mind all the spellings) In their existing tank I have a Jebo 902? I think and I either can't work it or it doesn't work. Hope this helps a bit more.

Thanks will think about that. Does it matter if I go to the dinner and I'm not a member of a club yet?

Does anyone breed these? how hard are they to? Also do they need to be in a tank by themselves as I know they just shimmer next to each other and drop their eggs on the ground. Ta

I was just wondering if two in tank filters are ok? I ask this as I am just setting up a new tank (1200 x 600 x 600) and I don't want a undergravel(stupid things). I do have canister filters else where but I don't think they work that great (might be me ). All comments welcome.

Hi Finally I have been successful with the angels I thought were "infertile". Just a little query is that when do I start feeding them the liquid food? At the mo they are like little tadpoles sitting on the bottom. Any comments will be great!

I too looked at these beautiful fish but The Wanganui pet shop said they could get it for me at $170 and down in Palmerston North they said yes aswell but at $200! so if I were you ring around all they local shop as they all will vary.

thanks for that but I too have 2 other pairs of angels breeding but I was just querying this topic as the younger ones are producing more than the experienced ones. Thanks

yes they have. they did their job for about 3 years but now he doesn't do his thing

Hey thanks for that. But I know they are as the size of each and they were the only two in the tank when I bought them privately. Thanks anyway.

hey thanks for that. They are angels. whats the ideal tank set up (ph etc)?

As the topic says. I have a breeding pair that I bought and all 5 lots of eggs laid have gone white. Also will snails eat the eggs? The snails are only the say size as the eggs but they appeared out of now where in the tank.
