  2. Why can you keep more tropical fish than coldwater fish?

    in Freshwater

    Posted

    some goldfish can get a lot bigger than a lot of tropicals too... i assume a lot of aquatic staff are told to tell customers to keep a minimal amount of goldfish per whatever the tank size is. certainly better than overstocking and having the tank crash. alan is right, if all conditions were the same (filtration, water changes, plants, lights, tank size) then technically you can stock more of the same-sized fish (that create a similar amount of waste) as cooler water contains more oxygen than warmer water

    Thanks everyone for the kind words I am working hard to improve the quality of discus in nz and to expand the range of strains available to the public. I have recentily made contact with a importer who will bring alot of new strains into nz from different parts of asia, we should start to see something new very soon. I am an albino fan and will requested albinos to be imported so i can create a solid breeding stock also ring leopards and eruptions aswell as newskol reds.

    With a bit of luck and dedication discus in nz should be upto world standard within the next few years.

    sounds great! :D :bounce:

  5. New Discus Breeding Tank

    nice tank! looks great. it will work well. yeah cycle the new filter turned on (to get the oxygen through it).. it should take 2 weeks but cos it's prized discus we're talking you might want to go 3. how thick is the glass? also those 300w jager heaters are rated to handle up to 1000L!!!

    hi danval. i didnt find either light sensitive, though i kept the tank dim (no overhead light) for a couple of months. I fed liquifry (can you still get this stuff? i spawned them years ago but keen to try again soon :) ). but as Bryan mentions in his article they can go straight onto newly hatched brine shrimp on the afternoon of day 5. feed a tiny amount as overfeeding will foul the water and check their bellies to see if they're consuming them

    anyone know if Bryan is still around?

  22. Breeding neon tetras

    yeah good advice here. i've spawned glowlights and neons. i found with a good breeding set up they spawned just as readily but glowlights just have more eggs (the females should look like whales if ripe :)) one other tip i heard is to let some morning sunlight in as a spawning trigger but it's not necessary. goodluck

    Interesting. There's a long article from a guy who tank bred his online somewhere. Their courting went on for months. He took some pics and fed them live goldfish leading up to the spawn. Apparently the eggs were the size of golf balls.

    That gold cross-back sounds good! pics? :)

    PS great to hear some fish are going back into the wild!

  25. Breeders wanted

    you could name it Fish & Tips. Sell the fish and give out info on them.

    zayne was saying if it was called "fish and tips" people would think you only sold fish. personally i must say the final name mentioned is a bit long with 2 puns.. but goodluck with it all :)
