jc360 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Finally signed up to the site, love keeping fish and have found it to be a very challenging and rewarding hobby. Seriously considering trying to breed some of my fish, have established a foot long tank with a variety of plant life, just unsure of what fish from my display tanks i should start with. The fish that show the signs of breeding are my Lemon tetras, Rasboras, Scissor tails, Buenos aries tetra, Gouramis, and fighters. i want to have a successful experience, without to much disappointment. i am not even sure if this is the right time of year or anything, any suggestions? and what does imo or imao mean? It would be great to hear from any enthusiasts in Tauranga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caper Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hi & welcome! You'll get lots of help here in trying to breed fishies. Many here have/are successful breeders. Personally I don't, nor do I want to, breed fish. Time, finances, and space are only a part of why I choose not to breed fish. It's is not something that I am interested in doing at all. Anyway, good luck with your breeding of fishies. Post a pic of your tank sometime. Approximtely how many liters/gallons does your tank hold? You said it's a foot long, what are the other dimensions? Take care & have fun, Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc360 Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 thank you for the heads up with the abbrev. I have got a few tanks set up now ranging from an ar620 through to a six foot. the foot long tank is actually two foot (sorry) and i was just going to use that for breeding. i am trying to figure out what is the best way to post photos, i have seen some actually in posts, how is this done? any suggestions out there.

enzoom1 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hey and welcome Is it because the pixels are to big to show full size? :-? I have no idea so I'm probably wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I've made it bigger but it ruins the sharpness.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Mine get resized to 640 x 480 then saved as medium which makes them about 80kb, give or take 20 or so kb. That is a good size. Yours looks like you have made them too small, pixel-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 any ideas of how to make it bigger? Is there a 'Resize image' option in Photodump? I use Photobucket and you can choose the size before uploading the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 it may be b/c i am using a mac? im going to try photobucket later see if thats anybetter There is nothing wrong with using a Mac!!!! In Photobucket you can get it to automatically resize your images to the 640 x 480px forum limit, by choosing the size in the dropdown box here. Are your pics from a camera or phone? If they are too small to start with, it may be causing the problem, but I see Dixon seemed to be able to get ahold of a higher resolution picture... Oh, and welcome to the forums!

Cricketman Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 hey mate, theres a few people round tauranga that have set-ups, living art has what? least 6 big tanks, i have a 4 ft and a little breeder and another tank that ill be turning to a breeder for scissortails soon hopefully. MTS is kicking in... lol about time we got some more tauranga people actually, need to get the local fish club numbers up... incl myself :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc360 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 cheers snorkel, i just took three pups of the tiger lotus which i am really stocked about, the planted aquarium has been my most rewarding pursuit so far in fish keeping, fish love it to. I want to do a bigger project with my big tank but have some non-compatible with plants, but love them too much to axe them, so its kind of a catch 22...
