by plane?

my guppies are due to drop very soon. as i dont want to trap them; java moss is the best solution i guess. but i couldnt find any at my local LFS...

thank you all for your input!!! i will move the fry to a separate tank today... cheers

funny thing happen to the male guppies i got from you Steve, they are chasing each other!!! :lol:

i sure did...haha

but feeding them will be hard wont it?

thanks for your input Ballistic...cheers!!

does this apply to all livebearers or just guppies?>

ok....but the fish is living happily at the moment disease free

i feed them newly hatched brine shrimp, for example, these 30 fry are going to consume more and in less time if placed on the breeding trap. Finding bbs in the large tank is much more difficult for the fry, since the food particles as well as the fry are present in much less density. It is more time consuming and often yield sub-optimum results. With this approach, you are likely to end up increasing your maintenance requirements in the form of siphoning waste, cleaning filters and replacing water. 1,000 newly born fry in 5-gallon may be the optimum fry density for feeding purposes. How feasible these rearing densities are in practice, and what sort of systems are better suited are the real questions. 8)

i noticed some of them not eating as much of the others would and they started to float of top of the water edge and them gradually loses stamina and dies...

i had 2 batch of platy fry about 6 days ago. about 35 of them all together.. right now they are kept in the breeding trap and i feed bbs and egg yolk everyday. they are still growing very slowly...cant wait on they day i released them back to the main tank. i know its is normal to lose a few frys or two.... but i have 6 frys death in 6 days,.....is this normal???

i sometimes placed a few drops of whitespot cure or ammolock in the tank just to keep the disease out. is this a good idea?

dont mind having some

ok right..thanks

so is it true that they breed on a daily basis? seems odd..

icool..is it that easy to breed these fish? i heard they breed on a daily basis? true?? i might get some...how many do i need?

since this is a breeding forum, can i ask is there a temp range that will induce their spawning? or other condition?

by plane?? i wonder if they let me thru??

i was wrong it was $14.40

i dun mind havin some though

im going back to christchurch soon. i saw some real nice looking guppies there. wonder if i could bring them back to wellington?

thanks bill
