ryanjury Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Awesome photos Is there 2 holes in the coconut shell but one of them blocked up with mesh or is it something else that I can see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 The 2 last pics are when i put the coconut in a breeding net to save the babies, so its the same hole but the coconut is upside down. They'll go in a 50 litre tank tonight to grow them up in (it'll just have the gba babies in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzyJeff Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I am intrigued with the coconut shell... is it just a normal coconut shell? Or was it sold to you as an aquarium accessory? Where can one get one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzyJeff Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 have a look here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=25479 cichlid7's post shows the type i now use Thanks firefish - I think I will keep my eyes peeled for a coconut this weekend - I think I have seen them in the bird section at the LPS - if they not too expensive then this might save me the trouble of scraping out the flesh.

firefish Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Had another spawn hatch out today :bounce: 118 this time: Still growing up the last lot, which are about 2cm now. & 4 from the previous spawn which are about 4cm (I left that lot with Edward, who started eating them which is why i only have 4 from that spawn) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefish Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 New pic of the 120 spawn: Kinda looks like a little army ready to charge! (they were actually clumped together cos Kingston jumped into their breeding net - so i might have less than 120 now :lol: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
