Hi We Can get the adolfi Cory's , i havea few myself and i "think" we can get the dwarf but not 100% onthat one.

Hi and welcome from one of the ex pats

Hi Mark and again welcome hows the Koi Swordtails going

i've not found any deformities in mine so i'd not think it was common, but if yours have the gene it will be common in there young as they cross breed.

All the best for the move Errol

just the best magazine published in NZ

they are pretty fish too, mine have breed too, must be the seasons for Daffodils and its not even spring :roll:

hi , i know nothing about the finepix but do recommend the Nikons , always been great cameras.

is there a form or amount or address to send it too

Always happy to join if it helps with keeping/breeding the fish

Great tip , thanks Alan

so the eggs are larger than a grain of sand? , and what color ?

Ok, well my Yellows were at it again last week and this time i was ready i've sysphoned off the eggs like Alan Said , i must admit I go sand coming through with eggs and to be honest i had a hard time telling eggs from grains of sand but figured adding a bit of the sand to the peat would not do any harm so just sprinkled the whole lot i'd syphoned onto the bed of washed peat, its just damp but not running with water or anything. I've put it in a icecream container and maked it with todays dateand marked my Outlook calender to remind me in two months they are ready Now i have just reread Alans post and it did not say to cover the eggs with a thin layer of peat which i have done , is this a problem ? So then do i ( after two months ) just slowly add some tank water and float the container in a tank ? wait for the fry to be seen and move them to another container of the same water floating in the same tank ? What i hope to do is repeat this every two weeks for a couple of months to see if i get better or the hatch rates improve , theys guys are the only peat spawners i have at the momment so no need to mark with the species but on the lookout for others

This morning all the eggs are still there and the parents seem to be taking turns fanning the eggs so i'll leave them at this stage, I'm feeding the parents well on bloodworms to make sure there not hungry and keeping my fingers crossed for good parents.

one or two and another batch with the parents at the momment too

the camera records all setting data for each picture , i can tell exactly the settings for every picture.

I use a Nikom DSLR 70s and for both shots was about 18inchs from the tanks

I was taking some shots of my Blue Rams and these scenes took my eye

My blue rams are spawning tonight , awesome to see but i'm in two minds if i should leave the parents with the eggs or not. It the first spawning for this pair so i'd like to give them a chance but also don't want to lose such a nice size spawn. I'll leave them for tonight as i'm not sure they have finished yet and think ablout it tomorrow morning. Any ideas ?

the ones i have for sale are not related to him i'm sorry to say .

i have some offspring ( grandkids from him and his brother

this guy was the best betta i've had so far , called him big red

a buzz is never silly , i still get a buzz with every new breed i have

Cool , thanks
