Loopy Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 hmmm I have a similar problem with my severum. Got 2 week old fry in one tank with my few Emperor fry and gba's, wrigglers in another tank and mum and dad laid again yesterday :roll: . I also have angel wrigglers, and another pair of angels laid last night. And still have a few zebra danios to get rid of, which share a tank with the young bettas that i am growing out. I have 9 tanks running at the moment and i wanted to cut down over winter to about 4. :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktttk Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I had a similar problem with siamese fighters that I was breeding - they would always be fighting each other. I didn't want to hav to jar them - managed to sell off most of them though. I can take some off your hands if ur running out of space :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wok Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 just set up another small tank for the latest lot of fry. Now I see that the randy Male has gone and blown another nest. Sure Steve.. the first lot have just started on flake food. I will wait till they get a little bigger first. most have started to show their feelers now.

SpidersWeb Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Congratulations on the gouramis Wok 8) Still can't get my convicts to do the Jiggy thing. :-? They did it once then stopped Also congratulations on getting convicts that dont breed like rabbits. I'm setting up a Firemouth breeding tank this weekend, stop them from chasing everything else with fins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Thanks Spidersweb Didn't really take much doing to not have the convicts breed. They supposedly breed like rabbits but I have only ever seen them do it once. Same goes with Killies... they supposedly like to commit suicide by throwing themselves out of the tank but mine are pretty laid back and stay inside their tank :roll: Just can't make any sense of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wok Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Fish don't normally breed in my tanks.

TimTam22 Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Hey Wok, Hows the babies going? Are any at a sell-able size yet? If so how much are you selling them for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted August 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Great news. the first lot are around 2cm long and showing good colour. so I guess they are Saleable. looking for some ridiculous amount of $3 each. If I try hard enough I may even be able to sex them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
