Hey guy's any of you ask if you could take a pic of the zebra pleco's - - add them to the maf file?

4 years ago I saw a large tank with at least 50 ass colours of adult male betta , they came screaming to the front of the tank as you walked up to it 8) BUT I am coming to the opinion that males develop there finage faster/ younger if keep by them selves , food for thought ?

Jody , you may have to set up a picture tank- one that is use solely for taking pick of fish. this is what I'm doing as it is hard to get a steady shot other wise. ModernAngl , contact CatBrat and get him to send a file of the pic's I was unable to verify.

Klaymann, what I didn't say was I have another pair ( but mum eats her eggs ). the male in that pair is the father of Shae's male.

Rob can you please answer KRIB'S post

thanks Caryl ,knew ther'd be some thing there rachovi, caprivi lovely wee notho could you hold fire on that for a short while please, even if we get it in the end Kelly still needs to sign and declare he had these fish. thanks Stu EDIT oh fine

changed my mind :lol:

CAT, my all L # book does not go up to L 260 ,it also does not have LDA 31. if you could send me a "SMALL" file of those # I do have, I can check and relay back to you ISBN and page # for your hard copys.

In a word Krib YES. If you would like the rare species you keep on the new list YOU need to particapate!!

thanks Caryl, my puta is not powerful enough to handle that , pm Alan see if he could take them . there would deff be pic's we need on it. thanks Stu

yes I know time is short Rob , i've just got a camera and i'm taking pic's like crazy . have talked to Alan about contacting Kelly I also have some b/n species that are not properly id, so will need help with them.

yes I have a copy. I also have 1 very old Corydoras julii male, THE REAL JULII Rob, with out me looking them up are any of your whiptails the red w/tail?

Hi PENEJANE, General rule of thumb when moving fry is same tank water and temp , Blue&Kim are right that b/n are extra sensitive, but it can be done if you follow rule of thumb I gave a good number of very young b/n aways to a friend that lives in the same city as I AND we run simler water systems = same water conditions. He hadn't lost any last time week talked , so it can be done

As to the % of fat in white worms and beef heart that I mentioned , they were the result of an analist ( sorry can't spell ) done by a research centre close to were I live, it was done for free so no report was written. What I didn't say was the amount of fat in beef heart can change dew to all sorts of reasons but the magotity of the fat IS STILL saturated animal fat . and the amount of fat in white worms would change too, BUT unlike beef heart worms have a high % of amino acids in them ( fatty acids you know omiga3 and alike ) they still show up as fats when analised thou. take it or leave it, poke fun at my spell , what ever you like, have a good day

yes there was a studie done on feeding beef heart to guppys, but I have only herd about it not read , so don't know were to find it.

Thanks guys on your complaments. Here's mum with a better look of the kids http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y187/sjoestedi/Apistogramma%20cacatuoides/RIMG0146.jpg

Well for thou's out there REALLY wanting some of these this is the second spawning of this pair . the first spawn is ticking along fine ( no pic as tank just got a scrub ), the fry are now little fish between 3 and 5mm long. Both the male and female were breed by me but the ( unfortunatly ) male now belongs to Shae, I'm just looking after him for a while If your not to sure there cockatoo dwarf Apistogramma orange flash colour form Just under the pair is little orange dots :lol: there the fry . Oh by the way I just bought this camera yesterday and am still trying to figer out how to work it. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y187/sjoestedi/Apistogramma%20cacatuoides/Cockatoodwuafchiclid.jpg

Well i've never breed betta's , but that does not mean I don't know anything first of all it would be handy to know all that you did, like tank size , hiding place for female , temp that sort of thing. a close up pic of the females vent would be good too = was she really in correct condition to breed a pic will show this even thou she's bet up. but this can happen with betta's, even if the female full and ripe. I don't think putting her back with the male is a good idea just yet- unless your prepeared to loss her.

Why does it cause bloat ? blood worms are a natural sorce of food for them.they hatch in such large numbers over the african lakes they form clouds that can be seen from km's away.

:lol: so have I

:-? if fat is bad for your fish would you feed whiteworm, they are 18% fat and trimed beef heart only has 15% fat and gardenworms are cusions of white worms so the same may apply to them so why would you feed any of these ?

:lol: :lol:, that so true and so funny - klaymann snap :lol:

Well I agree with B&K, if you put the fry in as they grow they will make more and more waste as they grow. young growing fish, if feed well do produce a lot more waste per cm of fish then a large - full grown fish "" in most cases"" > and livebearers ( females )produce more waste per cm of fish then most egg layers ? true or false

NO I wouldn't move any fish, you will spread the infection. yes if your fish are gasping at the surface then you will need to up the bubbles . will your CO2 system create a problem at nights?

no i wouldn't go highter with neons they like it cool 18C to 22C. keep up replacement medication with water changes ( it's best to do a gravel vac at the same time to remove that stage of the parasites life cycle). how aggresive you choose to treat the infection is up to you , whether you do dayly or every second day. I find methlene blue to be a safer medication then the "green" good luck
