Mollymate

:dno: Thank you for your advice. I must say i am impressed with the help I have got from Adrienne and yourself. I have the boy in the breeding tank and have started conditioning him. Haven't quite decided which female to try him with yet,, the one in the photo is probably to big, so might have to go with one of the smaller girls. The two bigger girls I brought from Animates in Takanini. The three smaller ones which are supposedly HM's came from a guy in Mangere, really nice guy. I brought a HM Dragon male from him also, really lovely and he has very full flowing fins, I am not too worriesd as they are lovely fish, tried to send a photo to Adrienne but for some reason she hasn't received it. Have a small spawn from him and the crimson female. Only small cos my first time, so waiting to see what they are like.

:fshi: Thanks for that. I have been in touch with a couple of them. Waiting for some pics.

:dno: Gosh thanks for that. Looking at them maybe only one could be HM. So what would you class the others as and what would be the best type of male for them, if any??

:cry1: I don't think I will breed these girls to crowntails, will try and wait to see if I can find a CT female, it is always an option if I can't get one. I also have a Super Delta described as copper - Has turquoise body with Mustard gas coloured fins and a Veil tail Red both Males and a white CT but he isn't that nice, they are just to look at although the Red boy is lovely.

I will try and send you the boy again. Three of the girls I was told when I brought them they were HM dragon females, shows how you can be duped when you don't know. Was a breeder not shop, the other two I brought at animates so could well not be HM. The Whitey ones and one reddy one are supposedly HM - I wonder know if the Male is a true HM dragon, will try and send you a pic of him. He looks a little tatty as he has just come out of the breeding tank.

:bggrn: Thankyou for your advise and offer, I have sent you two pics, one of the better of my two CT males and one of my HM females, hope that is ok. They aren't the greatest of photos but for me .................who knows nothing about computors (but willing to learn) they will have to do for now. :slfg:

Finally have pics. Just have to sort out how to get them HERE!!!!!!!Geez I feel like a real DUMBO haha no pun intended..

:cry1: It is a Telecom R101 3G - That is what I have done in the past, successfully, now everytime I try it says haven't logged on, but when I try nothing happens so I get P'd off and chuck it, might have to ring Telecom and get HELP. lol

:facepalm: Thanks for that. Looking at them I would say no they don't stick out the ends. Still trying to get photos from phone to Computor but phone won't play the game, will keep trying.

:bggrn: You are talking to a real dumbiiii here very new to this, Not sure what crowning is...........da. Have got some pics on my phone, just have to figure out how to get them onto here, so bear with me.

Thanks for that. Will have a look. I seem to be having trouble when going to facebook, computor just locks up, but will definately give it a go.

Crowntail Female/s or a breeding pair. Does anyone have any please. If not what can I use to breed to get them. I have two Males (although not wonderful specimans) but only have halfmoon females. Really want to do it properly just for the sake of it. Dumb newbie here so appreciate all the help I can get lol

Thanks for your replies

:bggrn: Could anyone tell me where I can buy these teabags, I am in the Pukekohe area. Cheers

Using an existing tank, had guppies in it so salt wasn't too strong, have change 1/2 water so far. Left 6 guppies in to keep tank going for now, until I get the newby. Ta for replies

Thanks for that. Yes mollies can have a lot, but wondered if I did water change and diluted it down quite abit, eventually it would be gone, just that the tank is already cycled so wouldn't have to start again.

I am looking at getting a couple of bettas, was wondering if they tolerate salt in their water. I have been breeding mollies so have salt in my tanks. Would like to use some of that water as it is already cycled. I use Marine salt for the Mollies. Appreciate any help.

Lyretail Mollies - How popular are they? Don't see much about them.
