Snail harvesting, was pretty low... and they are a pain to get in the big tank....
have found... they go crazy over mozzy's and daphnia, which is probably pissing off my tetras in the other tank!! am surprised, damn, they can move fast if they want to chase down something!
heres a couple of pic's... don't think they had come across daphnia before...they were a bit slow,  after they got a taste... damn... they are on a full hunt....
 
 
 

Finally, after getting rid of the the Trumpet snails....
I noticed these little guys in my main tank!! 
now, I'm waiting for some Zebra Danios to start popping out!  (have 150+ of 'em already!)
These guys are just out of snack size range! probably some more hiding in the Java!
Yep, they are Emperor Tetras, counted 7 so far... only spotted after a water change they are
in my main 750l tank...

little guy lost the battle this morning, managed to move him into a smaller tank with some metafix....
:-/
Guess Fishie Fight club is going to start up again, to find the next dominant male... (have 45+ emperors in the tank)

Update photo because I was talking about this to someone today  babies are now in with their parents and are busy growing and looking adorable 24/7  I've ended up with about 15-20 babies  

signed....

Here's one of the girls in light mode can't see the other one...

Not sure what kind of whiptails I have, (they are both girls), they actually, change colour, depending on what surface they are on.... i.e. pale white, when on the sand, and alot darker when on the drift wood, I may have to take some pictures of them....  Yep, I love the corys! not sure if the tank is big enough tho, honestly, the personalities of all my fish, changed, when going into the bigger tank...
Think my tank would be really awesome, if it was just 20cm wider!, (is 40cm at the ends, and 60cm wide at the centre) still I like it... a Friend that showed up in the weekend though it was custom made for the house! fits just right!
 
Haha, well you should try Emperor Tetras, at water change time, if you want crazy/interesting behaviour.... I will try and take some pic's of the whiptails...

Little guys are 2 weeks old today (free swimming)... (first batch) second hasn't hatched yet
Is the first time, I've done anything with the eggs... is kinda easyer, due to myself harvesting snails for the dwarf puffers every morning out of the big tank!
not sure what to do with the corys, if they survive, have 20 sterbai, and 5 albino in the main tank, may have to setup a cory only tank? :-)  anyway they need to survive first!!

Hi,
My Cory knock shop is running well, the little guys are getting plenty of action, the girls, keep on putting out,  question, is can I have multi-able batches of fry/eggs in the same tank?? will the older ones, start to eat the younger fry/eggs etc?? (fry tank is 90 litre, about 3/4 fill)
Current batch I saved, is about 2 weeks old, are pretty happy swimming around (20-30 of the little guys)... second lot are just eggs at the moment,
I've ordered a  ZET-E55 Ziss Fish Egg & Shrimp Tumbler Incubator should hopefully arrive in a couple of weeks... looks pretty cool... should help in the future...

woooah, give him another lot of white worms today...yep... think he's discovered they taste like candy floss!.... he's been hunting them out! pretty entertaining!
New question, should I get him a tank mate?? Neon Tetras? or a couple of corys?? tank is only small, 22 litres
Thanks
-Chris

Finally got a fighter! (Taken me ages to get around to it...)
is in a 22litre nano tank...at work,  maybe a little too overplanted at the moment...
pretty surprised at how active he is... seems to do alot of people watching! chilling out of a leaf, only problems... I have...
he doesn't seem to be interested in, daphnia/mossys (so if they start to hatch! I could be in trouble at work!)
also, whiteworms he's not interested at all? 
-Chris

I've enjoyed reading your posts!
My little guys, laid some more eggs all over the tank last night 12-13th April, (actually managed to rescue some eggs, (was collecting morning snails for the dwarf puffers))....probably a 200+ eggs, not as many as previous spawnings (where the damn tank has been covered with eggs), think it's about the 3rd of so spawning since, your guys started, (have ignored the eggs... due to lack of tanks!!) & normally the chain loaches clean them up by the time I get home from work....
Spawning happened after I overdosed the whole tank with crazy amounts of whiteworms....(huge clumps of worms got down to the corys!!) (not sure if that helps)
Not sure if it was the sterbai's (20+) or albinos(5)
ugh! anyway, means I've gotta setup another tank!! by the weekend!! FUN!
Question, where did you get the Indian almond leafs? or will any old leaves be ok? what depth of water should be in the baby tank? guessing pretty shallow...
-Chris
 

managed to get a "white worm farm", small old fridge/ whiteworm setup from trademe, should be able to run 6-8 cultures... pretty sure the little guys will love them,
upgrading the puffer tank from a 90litre to 130litre this weekend.... 640 to 640T (found a really cheap one on trademe & couldn't help myself),
getting too many tanks... ugh!
Thanks again for the help!!
