Afrikan Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Congrats to mitzy, so good to see people breeding the rams, can't get enough NZ bred rams... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitzy Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Laptop all fixed, No eggs now somebody ate them I think either the parents when they hatched or the kuhlies loaches. I didnt plan at this stage to breed them but now I know they can , Im hoping they do it again , may move the kuhlie loaches first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Heya mitzy It could have been either one, one or both of the parents or the kuhlis... Did you keep the light on the tank at all times or turn it off at night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitzy Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I had the light on when i saw them , then left it on till i went to bed , Should of have left it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I always leave the light on if I have a pair of cichlids guarding their spawn with other fish in the tank... once lights go out, fish slow down, and then the nocturnal scoffers come out :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitzy Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Maybe uo dont realise how small betta fry are. Yeah I have breed them so I know there size. SO theses have to be babies or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumzy50 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Just been to mitzys place they are not leeches.they look like blood worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 the tank would have to be real dirty to have live bloodworm in it. Not much difference in the size of ram and fighter frys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Yeah I have breed them so I know there size. SO theses have to be babies or something. Put a hose near them and if the parent attack the hose then you have frys. They are quite hard to spot being so tiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitzy Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 the tank would have to be real dirty to have live bloodworm in it. Not much difference in the size of ram and fighter frys. I do a gavel clean weekly but do have a bad algae problem brown and bba, they were only under the flower pots. Looked up leeches and they dont look like that.
