new zealand discus man Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Three arrived two years ago from the Amazon with other whiptails.. First was to grow them on and luckly i got a pair.. Next was the had yards waiting..Spawned and saw at least 50 young at 12mm free swimming..Decided whiptails dont worry young..Well..Next morning not one fry left..Decided it must have been female as the are so rare that they even eat meat..All my others imported would not...Should have clicked.. Next time the male was in tube with about 50 + wiggling eggs so i decided to remove the female..All good and on the 9th day decided to remove the male to..The tube was partly open and a air stone at the entrance as was earlier..They free swim on day 10.. Came back a bit later to find most had died..???...male must to really pumping water past them..But after many hours of pricking out dead i saved 13...Some months later the female died..Now 18 months on i found that the 300 L tank they were in was babies every where..Quickly the large amount of wood was removed and all adults..Stood there watching for 1 hour to ensure i missed no one.. A week later they are at counted roughly 70 and have put on 3mm so now 15mm..It will take 4 or 5 months to get to 1/3 rd size..Adults are just 100 mm long with wisk on top of tail...The look in photo is that all the time..Dorsal fin stays up... This it the third type breed here now from wild imports..Whites Whiptails are now at 40mm and are starting to be sold..No photo on them a yet but pail with dark bars...Rhinoloricara is the new name for all whiptails and no second name so maf have accepted R ... Black.. Cheers Phill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new zealand discus man Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Was not you that note was for but a few others that will be busting to get these whiptails.. Because of mostly attacks i now dont post advise or try to help because of a few that turn every thing into a rat case..I will now only run my own listing or send private notes of help..By generally i look and go on.So the forum often is missing out on 40 years of experence breeding just about you name and yes killies..
