found out why convicts wont breed they are two males were told they were thought to be a pair but they wernt to sure themselfs so now brought some more still a bit young yet but will be ok when they are bigger did a 50% water change on the kribs and fed them bloodworms last night also moved a rock round to give them more room to get under them as that seems to be what they like so hoping to see results tonight or tommorrow am also waiting on almond leaves that should arrive tommorow for the tetras have a tank for females and for males and have been feeding them live food such as mosquito larvae and microworms as well as bloodworms

Hi there yes aim to do a 20% water change weekly and filters are all good.. not sure what else to try

thank you heaps we are going to give them a feed of bloodworms now and will do a 50%water change once they consume all the food we put in thank you heaps

Hi just to clear up a couple of things i forget to add i only have 1 pair of fish in each tank i have a few tanks setup for breeding today i put all the kribinsis in the same tank and hoping they will spawn. the convicts are doing nothing but sitting there the black neons doing nothing columbian tetras doing nothing danios doing nothing tbars doing nothing i am sure there is something i am missing in the breeding stage i condition the fish with live food small water changes etc read up on each fish and how to get them to breed....fish that are suppose to be easy to breed just do nothing have sold off other breeding pairs and within days of the new owner having them spawn... so if im missing something would be really keen to knwo what it is as its doing my head in Glenn

Hi there sorry my bad i should have put all the fish are in different tanks a pair to a tank thanks

Hi there i am looking for some help on fish breeding. I currently have black neon tetras columbian tetras kranbinsis tbars and convicts i am trying to breed. Not one breeding pair is even remotely interested in breeding. have been trying to condition etc for almost a year and never had any eggs the guppies are doing ok in a year i have 30 babies that im raising up. so can anyone tell me what is the best way to get them to breed. all the females are full of eggs but when put with males dont do anything? the tetras all have peat water and hte other fish are all been fed live food. the tetra tank ph level is around 6.0-6.5 so and all egg laying tanks have a mesh in the bottom to stop the parents eating the eggs so im not sure what i am missing here can anyone enlighten me on what i can try next as i have exhusted all internet sites and am just going in circles now Please any help would be great ps . i have no idea how to check the water hardness or softness so no point in asking me anything about that Thanks

Hey and thanks for the input . we are still devoloping the site and my partner wrote up all the pages we are spell checking the site as we redevolop each page i am error and spell checking each one... as for the photos we are not "selling" the photos and a few of them are our own tanks and within the week all the fish photos will be of our own fish... please keep the input coming as we cannot get a good site if we dont get the input and the input is helping to devolop a better site ...no offense will be taken to critism that is productive Glenn

The whole site was stripped of pretty much all its starting code and been redone ....we have someone working on the site at the same time and it will be using CMS soon so im doubting with all the changes we will have to display another copyright notice but will look into it

Hi there i have been looking around on the internet for information on breeding red tail sharks and have seen that there is no known cases of breeding in a tank... i think it should be possible and want to know if anyone has or know of anyone that has bred them in a tank and if so how was it possible? can anyone help with any advice as i would like to try it out but dont want to spend a fortune on buying lots of them to find out u cant breed them in a tank thanks

and also what would of caused the water to sell so bad? and cause i have had the buckets inside im assumming there is no health issue from the smell apart from how bad it smells

thats good to know now i am just applying the same tatic to the rest of the containers to see if i can mimic it all the way through. i havent added any green water yet just using small amounts of the water i removed from the containers that i used the yeast in we are going to collect pond water tonight and will start adding that to the cultures tonight

how much for some off you?

hi there yes pity u not in chch but we have managed to salvage maybe 50 daphnia and left a number still in the outdoor bucket in the rain we having at the moment. your reply has been the most helpful so far and practical to try... so wat i have tried so far is taken water from the bucket outside and added axy water to it then waited to see how much it clears then i again drained water and added axy water to it and now the water is almost see through and daphnia is looking ok so far does this sound like we are getting it correct?

hi there i am in desperate need of daphnia i need to know where is a good place to start looking for it we have in chch place they call the duck pond that has a pond would that be a place to collect it i brought a culture off trademe last week and its almost all dead i think i polluted the water and now i have nothing to feed the new born axolotls and i have no more money to shell out for food so can u please help me so i know where to start looking for these insect things so i can feed these babies before they all die... at least if the daphnia is free and it dies i wont be so gutted on how much i shelled out for a single feed for the little guys
