yup. billaneys right. its a blonde or golden variety. albino guppies have no grey melanin pigments on the body at all and have red/pink eyes.

can corys be easily bred?

that really sucks. oh well better luck next time, keep trying

oh man...that sucks. are they true albino guppies?

hey guys....i saw one of some air compressor in bunnings for $99. any good? might have to convert the output tube somehow.

wow.thats amazing!

i see. but they are not albinos anymore i presume?

i guess i was too late. did you get any? cant get them since i got work during the week days.

are you sure they have red eyed smcoleman?

wow wow wow...just saw this thread for the first time...ponds looking good!..its amazing to see the progression of pond from the start.

i would like to have a look at sunset wcmm too. never heard of it.

wow..i didnt know that. well you learn something everyday dont you? congrats PJ on the spawn. Now the challenging part is raising the fry to adulthood. in my experience of breeding bettas, it took me 6 months raising fry to young adults. quite a looooong time for a impatient breeder like me. has anyone got any tips of speeding up growth for betta frys? i am no betta expert. but i prefer some quickies like guppies and platies. took me only 2-3 months to raise up livebearers. lol.......

ok...if you turn off the lights at nite, then they couldnt see thus cant spawn. it is only when the after the spawning you need to turn the lights on 24hrs. that way the male can start guarding and picking up eggs if it drops. when to remove females: iafter the spawn,the male will take care of the eggs. if the female trying to interfere the nest the male will chase the female away. this is generally when you remove the female.

i am on my third batch of around 30 babies sorry cant sell them as yet but need to raise them up till they are breedable. as we are all trying very hard to breed these.

oh come on....another Wainui Martian ...why dont people live in town nomore.?? :roll:

wow...just look at the swords..i just love the long finnage!

ok...now i am the only left in the forum who cant even breed convicts

looks great. thanks for sharing. how big that they now? in mm?

we are so pleased to have you here too. lol

yes. they are not fussy breeders. i have been breeding them in a 9 L tank once . only 2 males and 2 females.

i tend to a little bit of cold water change to induce their spawnings. best spawn with a school of them.

wow. that is amazing. goldfish can have say 500 a spawn in 7 days livebearers can only have 30-50 spawn in every 28days. so goldfish is relative easier to breed than livebearers? may be probably a lot more maintainance than livebearers.

2000-5000 spawn is lot. how often does a goldfish spawn.

i have been searching for high capacity air pump myself. perhaps this is an option to look at? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pets-animals/Fish/Pumps-filters/auction-47660053.htm
