Hi.
I have a pair of Nijsseni in a community tank, and they have tried to spawn twice now. The eggs have been eaten by the female on both occasions, and I don't think that the fry would survive for long anyway. Too many other occupants, and a couple of very stubborn and resilient cory cats...
Hi.
I have a pair of these (least I think so), and they bred about three weeks after arriving home. I keep them in straight RO, although the water seems to be around 60ppm in the tank. Ph is about 7.
I didn't have to do anything special, just feed them, and away they went. They seem to be...
Hi.
What would be the recommended size for a growout tank for Apisto fry?
Also, should it be a bare tank (painted bottom, no substrate), or is it better to leave a couple of plants in to help with amonia consumtion, and some java moss on bogwood for infusoria etc.
Thanks.
Ian.
Well, I'm no expert, but my cac's (triple red), bred in a 10 gal, and although she pushed him around a little for the first couple of weeks, she was never very harsh on him.
On more than one occasion I have watched him collect a stray fry in his mouth, and spit it out back into the brood...
Hi All.
I had my fisrt spawning about 2 weeks ago (well my fish did :D ), and I am wandering when it would be best to move the parents to their new tank.
When I discovered the spawn I rushed out and bought a grow out tank, which is a 30 gallon. I then decided that the father was getting a...
Hi all.
After much confusion about my second Cacatuoides sex, (female or juvenile male) she turned bright yellow, and yesterday I noticed a huge number of 'things' in my tank.
The things turned out to be free swimming fry 8O I didn't even know they had any eggs! One short panic later, I...
Thanks for the replys folks.
First I will stop worrying. :D
I have a pair of Inca50, who seem very happy, and show no signs of stress, or any other problems. I guess they are about 6 months old now, and are constantly showing and displaying to each other. (have been for about a month...
Hi.
Having spent some time searching this site for info on using RO, I've found a wealth of very useful info. Thanks to all who have posted.
Hoever, I still have some concerns about using RO water for my fish, and I would like someone to help put my mind at rest.
As far as I understand...
Thanks guys.
Now I am more confused than ever, because although it doesn't show up on the pictures, the fish very definately has black on the front of the ventral fins.
(Although I have done a search and noted that it is possible, if rare, for males to have the black on those fins).
I will...
Hello.
I recently bought two cacs from my LFS, but they didn't guarantee a pair. It was suggested that I may have either a female, or a juvenile male.
Everything I have read here suggests that it is a female, but she is showing no signs of turning yellow, despite some flirtatious behaviour...
Whilst tidying the shed yesterday, I came across an old 24" tank I had forgotten about.
One good cleaning session later, and I have a perfectly serviceable tank. I already have a spare filter and heater, so some sand, a couple of plants and some coconut shells later, and I'm off to the lfs...
Oh it's far too late for any of that. :lol:
And if the missus ound out it's a disease, she'd start trying to find a cure, so it's best she doesn't know. :roll:
Situation has changes slightly, in that I have had to move one of my Inca50 into the community, as she was getting a really...
