have recently purchased a breeding pair of Geo's they have a nice big tank and if ive got it right the female (long flowy fins) keeps picking on the male (shorter fins) so sepereated them for a week and feed the male up on blood worms ox heart spiralina tablets and flake food and was full of beans again after introducing the female he went all shy again and hid in the corner.... i have a blue LED light set up to view in the dark and he comes out after a while fans about the place and gets put back in his place. im not sure that this is all right and beginning to think they arnt a breeding pair.she has made a complete mess of the tank up rooting plants moving substrate all over the show and her bottom fins have got realy realy long. they also keep a breeding pair of angles at the other end of the tank. hope some one can shed some light on these silly buggers and help with some infomation. thanks heaps

they look just like the picture supplied of the bristole nose eggs. there all in one clump as aposed to the picture of kribs eggs. they could be bigger than 2mm .

righty oh just purchased a few angles could or could not be breeding pair (one was fat) i put them in the tank with a few kribensis and male and female brislenose any way one of the angles disapeared and i heard it going to town behind a rock thinking it was stuck i lifted the rock to see a tone of eggs. so ive googled it but they all tend to look the same... :cofn: im thinking they are not the kribs as they looked to big for a little fish didnt think it would be the bristle nose been on a smooth rock or could the angle have droped them ? the eggs were bright orange and each egg is about 2mm and about 50-80 eggs help any body? cheers

Hi all thinking of setting up a home for a easton blue tounge. i have a whole heap of glass to make a big enough tank and im a qualified carpenter. when it comes to heating what do YOU suggest? under floor heating? need a lid? hopfully i can get these basics to make an awesome home for my pre orderd baby.

hi all a couple of quick questions regaurding silica sand is it alright for my cat fish ? is stuff from placemakers OK? :gigl: if not anywhere in hamilton i can get it? pros... cons... hope ive done this right :slfg:

okey dokey no eggs survived they all went white before going else where... thats ok i guess wasnt overly prepared. my discus are only babies aswell but i have scince set up another tank and seperated a few now so we will see how that goes with a less crowded tank. quick question though why did they go white? and do i need to move the BN out? will loaches be ok? thanks for your help it is much appricated

hi there yeah i realised afterwards and im still getting used to these little forums. in my tank i have Dwarf gouramis discus rams and fighters guppies BN. ive been keeping a eye on them and the eggs are slowly disapearing and cant see any babies yet and this is day 3. thanks

Also If all goes well i will have some kribs to swap/trade sell if any one is interestd in hamilton area

Just found my little Krib gaurding a little entry to a cave and on certain angles i can see lots of little eggs on the bottom of a rock. Is there any thing I need to do from now? I hadnt expected them to breed in my community tank. if only my rams would pair up now.

I have used a similar product and its realy good i was a bit weary about it to begin with but its realy good and cheap to run i have a blue one and a white one. if i could upload photos and take a decent photo id post what it looks like. $12 just try it out

Hi there i rescued a crown tail the other day from a friend that was going to flush :-? him because the other male got in his enclosure and beat him up now all his fins are shreaded and tatty. is there any chance of them growning back? if so what can i do to grow them back faster? he gets a mixture of betta food, blood worms and some discus food. sometimes i take the dark divder out and let them flare up against each other so he can stretch abit hope he can be fixed he would have looked the bees knees back in his day thank you

Congrats. exciting little novel... i enjoyd it very much

Man these are gourgous! would go ideal in my new tank

thanks for the welcomes guys

Hi there Im a newbee in Hamilton Been into Aquatics for a wile now and owned and breed a few differnt speices of fish over the past few years just for fun and recently just getting back into it again. Im not overly clued up and change my mind and tanks all the time at the moment i have a nice little community tank (160L)with baby discus's bolivan rams dwarf gouramis neons male guppies female fighters and the old faithfull bristol noses all resting on a home made pine stand which looks like a million bucks. Im flating and dont have a lot of room to have big set ups so my tank is hidden away in my garage but have a nice tank divided up into 3 for my male fighters which i currently have a crown tail and a rescued halfmoon and something special on the way.... I enjoy breeding fish for a challenge and to see babies grow i dont care about profits its all fun just a bummer i dont own my own house hmmmm the possibilities Thank you, Brad
