Guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 So you want ideas what to breed? You could try killies, livebearers, some sort of dwarf cichlids (they raise the fry themselves pretty much :roll: ), corys, BNs or WCMM. What type of fish do you like?

sparrowmayhem Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 not to breed as such but just watch grow i have a disabilty and spend a alot of time watch my axies i think some fish woush be good as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'd get baby platys and watch them grow and they also breed easily so you'll get babies and get to watch them grow aswell or get kribs as the rasie their own fry and it's really cool to watch them.

Ira Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 For the most part, most fish aren't going to have a significant difference in the amount of work it takes to keep them. Throw in food daily, water change and gravel vac weekly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjafroglet Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 WCMM are coldwater, and pretty tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oeminx Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 paradise fish, they are cold water can live in a rice paddy so they are pretty hardy. if you buy smaller one then you get to watch them colour up. plus if you get a pair and a little more effort you can breed them. I think they are a pretty good choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrowmayhem Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 wow Paradise fish they look wonderful where can i find them in nz and what sort of set up do they need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 u should be able to find them in nelson petshop from time to time maybe once you have set up the tank( pretty much same as for goldfish but you can have plants if u like coz they arnt gunna eat them) you could ask in private trade and exchange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
