go BUD !! does he do autographs ?

I'd like congratulate the many sucsesful breeders and to ask the people on this thread two very important question, How many of you are Club and FNZAS members and how many of you have bothered to register your breeding with the Federation ? and if not WHY NOT ? :-? :-?

don't worry about work or lunch but I really hope your Dads ok Caryl , our thoughts are with you

I think you need a fish tank on that bench Caryl

Congratulations! to you both looks like an amazing day :bounce:

probably just a change of water conditions , even tho the water is now "better" its differant from what they was used too. If a fish gets used to "bad" water , its a shock to their system to suddenly have "good" water. maybe a slower clean up or better yet always having good water would have been better. Do i hear the other fish yelling " ban him again so he keeps us clean !!! "

I'm currently running 72 tanks largest are a couple of 700L , 400L's 300L 200L etc

I have Black/blue swordtails

not since i took thier wide screen TV off them

Just been watching my lastest spawning of galaxy's and i'd estimate around 50-60 free swimming fry, so about 3 months down the track there could be a few going up for sale watch this space for photo's and updates.

Ancistrus sp. L144 Blackeyed Golden Ancistrus

I have swordtails with danio's in a few tanks and never a problem

just thought , do they all look like females when young and the males show their colours as they mature ......would make more sense.

Hi Guys I'm a bit confused , but nothing new in that What i would like to know is: 1, I've read king killies can be peat or mop spawners but 99% of what i've read say peat, whats the likelyhood of a spawning from a mop. 2, whats the likelyhood of all the offspring being female ? Tell you why , I had a mop floating in a tank with a very adult pair of king killies , thought nothing has happened and just put the mop in a tank that was very hevery planted . i've just gone to clean that tank out of most of the plant and there is young all over , and some fairly large. there used to be just cory's and some rainbows in that tank cory's they are not and completely the wrong shape for rainbows they ALL look just like feamle king killie ...couls this be ? Does the temp and Ph etc determin sex with this species ? any thoughts ? Thanks

Congratulations! Winston Awesome news mate !! hope baby and mom ( and Dad ) are all doing fine baby photo's to come ...............

PM Wok on here and he will sort this out for you

he means kribensis , they are a beautiful fish. Also some of the more less common danio's , such as glowlight danio, spotted danio would be good, easy enough to breed and there is always a market for something differant

I find that if you get a good male and a good female you don't need a third , that said i have breed GBA's in pairs and groups .

Great photo's thanks for sharing

Hi Stu and Welcome . The best way to really get stuck into the hobby is to join a club , PM Caryl on here I think thats the closest club to you. Your also lucky that the annual Conferance is in your neck of the woods this year so lots of us will be heading your way in June, look forward to meeting you and good luck with starting up

Hi sarah Yes i think that was the pair I got from you I also got a 2nd pair from another friend and to be honest i'm not 100% sure which pair went into which tank but I'm pretty sure the 2nd pair have eggs also

the seem fine , growing well , the male seems to just ignore the fry and the females is never far away from them Fingers crossed all carries on this well

i have some Carla but not spawned yet sorry
