oh man, i don't check the thread for a while and come back to bulldog, bull terriers and more rotties!! Awesome!! You must be so excited Blueandkim, which one is your wee pup?

Awwww, gorgeous dogs!!! Hey davidb, yeah i'm going to try and show myself more often. Everything's really good, but started 2nd year vet nursing now so busy busy busy!!! Sold most of my fish, was down to my 5 clown loaches, 2 blue rams, a male betta and some BN's - went away for a week (had a fishsitter) and came back to everyone coated in white spot and looking really ill. Treated them at half strength but ended up losing everything over the next few days. Bit sad about the clowns, so taking a break on the fishy front (unless i see something irresistable) for a while.

Just a fun 'post your puppy/doggie pics' thread Have just gotten my new baby and would love to see everyone elses!! On 19th Jan my partner and I picked up the new baby - Dash is a male rottweiler, born 19 Nov 07. He took ages to lose his puppy fluff and is still a big sook. 8 1/2 weeks: A little bit older: And the current size, at 14 weeks with a lot left to grow:

Sorry to hear about this Mark, quite a sad loss and upsetting after all the work you put in and how great you are to visitors

the second-to-last pic is cool nice boy

I can't come Everything's kind of piling up at the moment, or rather i am adjusting to new job so am doing a less efficient job of stopping it from piling up... :oops: See you guys next month though, if the world hasn't crashed down around me by then... Have a good first meeting Jasmine

awesome pics guys, Mark i have a few pics of your dragons that turned out nicely, will email them to u in case you'd like them. i covet the dragons...

guppies are in their own tank now, since i saw the fry

welcome!!

lol, have been neglectful lately, as have got a lot on my plate, but just went in to feed this morning and saw two fry sitting still together next to the ceramic pipe. When the eggs were eaten i thought i saw a couple still there, but wasn't expecting anything. Was surprised that they were outside the pipe, as mum was inside, dad at the other end of tank, and i thought the parents were meant to be pretty protective at first, herding them around?

:lol: :lol:

gorgeous!! nice find

not yet, thinking it may be better just to set another tank up, so everyone has more space...

Could always get a cambodian female with light colouring and see what happens? Yay for you!!!! I'd be excited too!!

sounds awesome, are you getting him? Try and get a pic up, wanna see!!!

eggs are gone maybe moved to roof of pipe, otherwise will have to just wait til they have another go

i was told to use a 2ft for one pair, but mine probably would have spawned in a water glass after leaving the busy tank

Yay!! :bounce: And i actually have something going on this month!!!

darn, i knew i should have check my email last night. Will let u know tonight...

lol i raced home to have a look and make sure they were still there What makes a good DIY tank divider? Want to put the male guppies in the females tank...

:oops: :oops: I read the heading, and wondered why gills specified that the sandpaper was over 3 years old... :oops: :oops: Another case of too much/not enough coffee :oops:

Update :bounce: - got a 2ft tank and on sunday i set the kribs up in it with a ceramic v-shape pipe (quite short) and a bit of bogwood for baby BN's, and that they can hide under, as they were acting pretty shy after coming out of the community tank. Had also set up a tank for my guppies next door, and on a whim last night i decided to separate the guppies out - females and juveniles in the guppy tank, and males in with the kribs (as they were staying in their pipe i figured i might as well use the rest of the space for a week or so, and maybe the other fish will make them feel better after coming out of a cramped community tank). Last night when adding the male guppies i moved the ceramic pipe and didn't notice anything. But this morning i went in to feed them and there were some little light brown things on the bottom of the pipe (realised they must be eggs after a sleepy blink and a stare or two). The female was looking after them and the male was (gasp!! finally) actually OUT OF THE PIPE (has been in there since they moved in) and was sitting around under the driftwood, and seemed quite calm (maybe pleased with himself?). So looks like the guppies helped, but will have to move them out to prevent them indulging in a few baby kribsicles :lol: Yay!!! It's been a while since i first asked about breeding them, so i'm going to have to brush up on what i've forgotten (how long it takes for eggs to hatch, what to do, etc etc). To be honest i didn't expect it to happen this soon, thought they'd need to get settled, do the swish-shimmer-courtship etc first. Apparently the constant teasing in the big tank (think it was too cramped for them to actually give it a go) worked a charm...

how did the tank get scratched with sandpaper? :-?

Have a look into BBS (baby brine shrimp). it sounds like your fry got to too big a size to eat the liquifry food any more, or they could but it wasn't enough. i don't know much about barbs but BBS is suitable for a lot of different fry Someone else should be able to give you some more specific advice, but if my post helps a bit then awesome

Lol, i had to suck on the outlet of both of my CF1000's, but i'm very very carefull to get out of the way when i see the water coming!!! Let me know if u don't get it sorted David - i'll come give you a hand *bravado bravado* :lol: Hopefully something fixable, and u don't have to return it...
