nope that ship has long since sailed
-
I breed plenty of rainbows. sort of just trying to see who else does,so maybe could do some egg swaps since you can post eggs sort like you do with killies. I really want to get some blue eyes but cant find any around here
-
Does anyone one here actively breed Rainbows? Or even blue eyes?
-
26 but still need more
-
still looking for any nothobranchius types that i can get my hands on or any other peat spawners for that matter.
any old peat bags that may have had eggs in them are always a good start.
-
Did anyone on here buy any of the Nothobranchius foerschi from HFF ?
-
If you dont want to hatch out the eggs straight away you can store them on damp peat in a sealed container
I store a weeks worth of eggs for 3 weeks for choc australe and 4 weeks for p82 before wetting.
Its alway better to feed killie fry on live food as the movement triggers natural feeding response. Vinegar eels are a great food source it you dont want the hassle of brine shrimp.
-
which retailers ?
-
yep they should be may just need to let the grow abit more
-
I had my breeding trio in about 10 ltrs with floating mops, with water change twice a week. In the wild they can be found in very small puddles. most literature I've read says to keep them in around 15-20 ltr for a pair or trio.

:cophot:
Looks really good, glad they've gone to a good home
-
yeah i did he'll let you know what else he's got if you ask
-
contact Pauljones on T/m for the first 2. I dont believe the last 3 are around anymore. But in saying that i think wonderworld had some Aphyosemion bivittatum within the last year but have no idea what happened to them. I'm starting to get a nice population of`clown killies(Epiplatys annulatus) going, really slow growing compared to the other killies i have.
I myself would love to get hold of some Aphyosemion bitaeniatum and Fundulopanchax amieti
-
have you thought about what type of killies you're after ?
-
some are rather dark but it seems mostly the females that are darker...
I've been experimenting with spawning the Guentheri on mops. seems to work well
-
That is a bugger! ive not bothered with the golden australe yet but i do see some fry in their tank, got around 30 chocs tho - always liked them abit better - some of the males are starting to colour which is neat.
Ive now found FOUR striatum fry - so SURELY one will be male, two fat females doing nothing atm. Killing me cause they are literally my fav out of the 6 specie i have.
Apparently there is a fulla down south with nothobranchius rachovii - offered $100 just for a pair but nothing. bugger.
My chocs are colouring up nicely too. the P82's are really fast growing have a fair number of males already coloured up.
I've heard about there being Rachovii around just never found out who had them.
-
lost my female choc australe over night. she stopped laying a few days ago. should have a female ready to spawn in a few weeks at the rate she's growing. hatched out about 40 choc fry over night and about 20 N. Guentheri got some P82 due to wet in a few days.
-
I was after striatum but i lost my male clown so im in the same boat as you untill my fry grow or i can get another male..
I've got about 70+ fry of the p82's, 50+ of chocs, 20ish of clowns and 80+ of guentheri and lots of eggs of everything apart from clowns
-
N. guentheri
had an ammonia spike kill over half of my clown fry :tears: so gutted
-
Just an update on the fry, almost a month old
some of the males are starting to colour up
-
1 to 1 and female MUST be removed after spawning. the male looks after the eggs and fry
-
keep the tank water level down a bit to give a good air gap at the top and with a good fitting lid will help to keep a zone of warm humid air. a good supply of green water is a must for the fry untill they're big enough to eat vinegar eels or BBS. A bit of ricia floating on top is good to help hold the nest together. Have a hiding place for the female and make sure you remove her after spawning.
-
thats great.
I see on on wonderworld's web site they've got listed "Two Striped Lyretail Killie" I'm wondering if these are Aphyosemion bivittatum
-
Do you know where you can get those taps from? I have looked at Bunnings and Mitre 10 but can't seem to find them. Maybe i'm just having a man look. Found the same sort of thing which I will order some time this week, if i can't find somewhere else.
