I have a spare 20 pounds if anyone wants it!!

Can you please explain what you mean by Do you mean colour variations or the actual species. If you mean the species, try reading some of the comments on the cichlid or killie posts, and see what the opinions are on crossing species.

You'll have some normals, some albinoes, some normals carrying the alb. genes. Others that are into genetics will give you a more detailed discription I'm sure. I don't mind being corrected either. But that is how I'd see the results.

Yes, X meets Y = babies.

Good sites Frenchy. Lookout, wormfarm on the way. Maybe.

Got me St_Gabriel, that'll teach me to work on the forum on the Graveyard Shift. :oops:
-
I had one that did exactly that. So I hung of the back of the stand off a nail on a string. Silence. Well nearly anyway.

lamnidae, apparently they come down stream at a very high tide, spawn in the long grasses on the bank, then in a months time, the next equivalent tide pick up the fish for their marine experience then it's back home as whitebait up their original river/stream that they cam from and head upstream to continue their life. If they get passed the nets of course. The time line I do not know tho.
-
Hi there lamnidae Welcome to this wet side of the world. I just got a scholarship to do a course too at Maturangi. Awaiting my first interview then into it.

Tom, you are going to get it from Caryl when she gets back. She'll want an article from you for the Aquatic World, on how water stays in your tanks. Has me beat, so it'll make an interesting read for me as well as others I'm sure.
-
Also it is a good idea to have a small box filter handy. Fill it with carbon and leave it in for a week, working. That'll remove the medication from the water. That is the reason the carbon filters are turned off while treating a tank.
-
Frenchy, you shock me, they said to remove your bod just cause the prof told them how it was?? Shame!!!!
-
So you got it in ok Tom?? How'd ya do it. Where did ya get ya manpower from to get it in?? I know where there are some fronnies, they'd look kewl in that once you have it all set up.
-
Gee Frenchy, here in NZ we would never admit, well not openly, that we had smuggled fish or plants, etc., in our possession. We could expect a knock on the door any time after that from MAF. You could then loose all your collection, even if 99% of them were legally obtained. I heard of a guy that copped this up Coromandel way. Lost some super-hard to get Killies too. I tried to get them saved at the National Aquarium and/or Kelly Tarltons but to no avail.
-
With commercial breeding happening all round the world now, you can start getting markings, and colours variation, is there such a thing scientifically as a "Red-fin"?? Or is that just a catch phrase name??
-
NO!!!!! They are just Julidochromis marlieri , nothing else. As Caserole says, unless they come in with the location name, that is all they are, Julidochromis marlieri. And no you can't go by someone saying "Oh! I know what that is. It's so and so." It is as it came in, Julidochromis marlieri.

The pic has the TradeMe watermark on it and also the members name.

Try some with vinegar and see if it bubbles A.PROPHECY. That will show if there is any calcium in it and if there is it will raise the pH. Some plants will love that.
-
They were expert jumpers. The parents had to be separated out very quickly from the babies too. Actually, I saw some on a wholesale list back about xmas time.

It was years ago Gannet

They come in occasionally, by the way, I have bred them , and they are livebearers, just in case ya didn't know.
