ohhh i love gold nuggetttttsssssss i was going to get one until i saw the price :roll:

i want some tooooo :lol: i've been looking around for the yellow black eyed ones.. but they're so expensive in shops... i have the normal ones.. they've spawned once but only one baby survived.. anyway, please let me know if ur selling them.. and for how much

thanks he's now about 1.2cm :lol: oh, the hard thing about only having 1 baby surviving is the feeding.. if i put anything in there he doesnt really see it.. thus he doesnt eat it.. and it goes bad.. so i've given up giving him food... inside the breeding trap, i just have a tiny bit of driftwood and lots of plants with algae on it.. seems to work

in case anyone is interested... the baby is doing well he's about 1cm now by the way, what do i feed him? last time i put in a bit of spirulina but that went bad cuz he didnt eat it... right now i just have plants in there so he can eat the algae..

just an update.. not all 17 made it first of all, 3 hatched and i dont know where the rest went ! when i came home from uni, i only found 3 in the net... so i decided to put those 3 in a plastic breeding trap (i know i should've done this when they were still eggs.. *sigh*) anyway, as i was putting them in the plastic box, one escaped and went into the main tank! then i couldnt get it back into the plastic box cuz Milo (the dad) was guarding it :roll: so there there are only 2 in the box.................. then 1 died......... so i only have 1 left in the box......... i dont know the status of the one with Milo.... he's not guarding it anymore.. i guess that one died too......... all in all... i only have 1 baby...... getting darker now... hope it will survive..........

i now have 17 healthy eggs there's a red line along the eggs.. looks like blood vein? no black dots (eyes) yet... hopefully they'll hatch in the next couple of days by the way.. how sensitive are those eggs to those blue ich medicines? i had to put some of that medicine in because one of my mollies have ich............

so the eggs being separated and handled like that is ok?

ok i separated the white ones from the clear ones.. and removed them. they're very sticky arent they?? i had to use my fingers to separate them... some of the clear ones are still sticking together but will they be ok separated like that? (some are in clumps of 3 or 2, and some are one their own.) will they be ok after being handled so much? i only managed to save about 20 eggs....... im so scared...

some (about half) of the eggs have solid whitish colour in them and some (the other half) are still plain clear orange why is this? does it mean that some of the eggs are fertilised and some aren't? this is the best pic i can show, its a bit blurry cuz of the net..

can u guys stop arguing about this.. its really not a big deal.. if Ira wants to be annoying then let him be.. i'm certainly not bothered. who cares about some stupid typos. i know my english. been here for over 10 years. i'm just more used to typing bread rather than breed. so just drop it. and let me read this thread in peace............ this is supposed to be an exciting moment :lol:

meh.. fine i fixed my spelling errors.. anyway.. i do have a plastic breeding trap, but the vents are at the bottom of the box and has a lid. is this ok? what did u mean by this: what nobs?

oh.. those on the top left and right corners are some spirulina pallets.. for them to eat... but OMG.. here's the news...... they WERE breeding!! this morning i found a bunch of EGGS in the filter but the parents were outta there already.. so i got a breeding net, carefully placed them in there and also put an air stone to keep the water moving.. am i doing the right thing here? is there anything else i should do? how long do i wait til they hatch? 3-5 days is it? oh how exciting :lol: here they are in the filter: here they are in the net with the air stone: a view from the bottom of the breeding net (and my clown swimming across haha):

hi there i have a little problem.. this morning i found 2 of my bristle noses in my aquaclear 200 filter (1 male, 1 female) i guess they went in through the waterfall part of the filter... i took them out of there back into the tank but later that night they were back in there! is this a sign of mating?

where abouts is your shop? i'd love to come and visit

my clown passed away by this morning..
