Awesome Alan THANKS !!!

Hi trying to help with the MAF ID project but i can't fined a ISBN book referance for a GBA ( Golden blackeyed Ancistrus ) can anyone help ? :-? :roll:

I got a few more for you Kevin , will give you them at the next club meeting , unless you need them sooner ?

the one in Animates Wellington when i went in a couple of weeks ago was a full size male , maybe they sold him now got a female ?

Thanks Alan, the parents were at 26.8 C, the eggs on the rock have been moved

thanks for that Winston , i've takes the eggs still on the stone and placed it in a free tanks with air bubbles floating near the stone to give some circulation, fingers crossed , the pair must have also killed the thrid golden ram i had so its all down to these two now

Quick advice needed : I've just noticed my golden rams have layed a heap of eggs on a stone i put in for them, there in a tank with justa pair od angels which i've seperated with a devider so there safe from the angels but what about the parents ??? Are Rams good parents should i leave them in there or move the rock with the eggs on it ? , the fry would swimm through the devider so its just a temp to stop the angels eating the eggs , but what should i do ?? all advice greatfully accepted

Just to let you know , we followed some great advice tonight and cought a malawi cichlid from our chiclid tank that had babies in its mouth and Stu you were spot on!! I carefully opened her mouth head down and out they swam, a total of 13 quite large fry, some dark and some light but all fairly large, if they had come out in the tank they would not have stood a chance , so again Stu , Thanks there is still a couple in there but we don't want to stress the mother any more so we have left them with her, maybe they have more room to grow , who knows but at least we saved these 13

No your temp is fine how many fish did you add at once and did you treat the water with an ager (Aquaplus) to get the colrine out before you added the fish . This seems much more likely the course of the fishy deaths than the temp.

I've lost two adult B/n the same way , just an inch gap for the hoses and out they went , found on the floor , too late

Great to see 6 others with at least as many tanks as me Not sure if it makes me feel like I'm at least semi normal or i need to buy more tanks and have a 35+ section ...lol

Hi I have a pair of Neolamprologus leleupi and i notice yesterday a nice big batch of eggs , has anyone breed these guys before ? is there anything i should or more importantly should NOT do ? I've read on the net there good parents and eggs hatch in about 4-6 days , any thoughts or advice greatly accepted Thanks Paul

Looks great in the pic but even better in real life , Thanks for letting me come take a look, it was great to meet you ,have a chat and a beer take care Paul

way to go mate, i kept mine n the breeding trap about 3 weeks till they got a bit of size on them and have now released them into a much bigger breeding tank area but still pushing food onto them 24/7 and there doing great, kept it up

Kribs do prefer a ph of 7.0 but as long as its stable and not to far away from that it should be ok ;0

Hi as most of my tanks there at a Ph of 7.4 , just because thats the tap water ph and its easy to keep it stable at that

yes thanks mate i have a tank or two to home them in :roll: last count 26 ... :oops:

yes there so cool , they stay gold as seen in the adults in the first picture

Hi These guys are doing great, growing fast on a staple diet of Pleco chips and Zucinini, I've left some with the adults but moved most into a breeding trap where i can keep food in front of them all the time and those ones as i thought seems to be growing faster but all look healthy and happy

That looks so Cool and so easy !! Makes me want to try one

no did not show , i cut the url to a new window.

the top one is a Giraffe Hap but not sure of the other sorry

I use a dark gray sand from Wainui beach and i have no problems with that but again the iron conent would be no where near what your talking about useing , Try a little in a small tank for a while with some cheep fish is all goes well .......your away
