I've ALWAYS got that problem Wok :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Hi The danios will eat there own eggs as quick as they can scatter them unless there stopped, try making the tank bare bottomed and having the adults in a breeding basket, Home make ones from netting or bought ones work well ) This always works for me and i have a high baby count whenever i try this, Snails are a possablity but with danios at least you would have to have a heck of a lot of snals as they can drop 100's of eggs per female.

glad you ladies are all happy

taking into account what size they will grow too i'd say 6-8 no problem

not a problem there great community fish and the betta is not fast enough to catch them

this was done with a small group of 6 , 3 male 3 females in a homemade breeding basket and left for two days then removed before they could get to eggs are newly hatched fry

Hi have a pair of fighters on trademe if anyone is interested you can pick from about 8 fish which ones you want http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 301811.htm

Had a good spawning of these guys so if anyone wants any they should be moving size soon

Heres a few pictures: Koi Swordtails Leopard Fish

Hi Just a picture i took of the blue peacock in the cichlid tank i wanted to share Thanks

will be a great help , good idea, fine for me

Well Done KA BTW it was great to meet you all yesterday and thanks for making us feel so Welcome !

Awesome Wok, my GG'ss did not work , must have been shooting blanks because i saw 100's of eggs but will try gain when a tank comes free

yes Pawz the batch before this , glad you happy with them

quite a few :roll: but have been selling quite a few too

looking great , a tank to dream about

I left them with dad till they had just about used up there sac and took them then while still all together .

Just took a picture of the latest GBA's to hatch , there so cool.

[quote=" Although I breed discus the biggest novelty for me is breeding rummy-nosed tetras. I got 15 to teenagehood. quote] I'd love to hear how you bred the rummy's

Can be either Mystic , but i'd have thought you would get more from it if they lived :roll:

Hi Everyone, I get a real buzz from breeding fish , all kinds for all differant reasons, whats the most interesting fish you have bred and why ? I think mine was GBA's , because it was very uncommon down in Wellington to breed them and it was one of the first fish i bred that i set up a tank all there own with breeding in mind. BTW there still breeding stongly with a new batch hatching this week

Hi, I got a fantastic surprise yesterday , my Koi swordtails have been dropping over the past two days and so far i must have fished out about 75+ babies but the hugh bonus was that 3 of them are albino . I wanted sme Albinos but all i'd seen were either too expensive, i could not afford at the time of on trademe would not ship so I'm over the moon !. I'll seperate them from the others as they grow a bit and hipe i have male and female ( or one might change to give me a breeding pair, just can't wait !! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

they are all pretty small fish and as a rule an inch of small fish is less than and inch of big fish when it comes to stocking and as you say the filter is more than enough for the tank, as long as regular water changes were done i'd see no problem with adding a few more danio's. Others may disagree but some of my tanks are technically over stocked but with over filteration and water changes i have no problems. I SAY GO FOR IT

Very sorry for your loss
