Just wanted to post an update. The GBR's on strike have still not laid - over 2 months. Last night I moved them to a 75 w/about 40 small GBR's in it. It has perked them right up - I actually saw the male making a sand pit and the female is all over him. They haven't laid but this is the first...
Hey Darrel and Slim,
Thanks for the insights - I think I will rinse it off just to be safe and I will "cook" the rest of them in the oven. So I may have alder tress growing in my sponge filter - cool. I think I'll plant them in the yard so I will have an endless supply of alder cones...
Hey Bunnie,
Not a problem - I do understand about waiting on them to grow to adults!! It seems to take forever. I have one breeding pair and I finally have another pair that I can finally make from my babies - it has been well over a year to finally get them there. Glad you could find what...
Mike and Slim,
Thanks for the insight. Slim - should I remove the cone, rinse the fuzz off and put it back in or do as Mike suggests - remove it and add a new one? How long do you typically leave the cones in your tanks?
Thanks again,

Howdy,
There is also a member on AquariCentral that has some, 100 for $4. Here's the link: http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221713. He is great to deal with and ships fast. I got 400 from him last week.

Hey Bunny,
I don't usually sell the bigger ones - they grow sooooo slow that I tend to hang on to them. I looked on aquabid -there was an auction for 2 adult females that was at $30 right now. I was thinking $12 if that sounds fair (+ shipping and $1 or $2 for a heat pack depending on your...
Hey Bunnie,
I raise albino bristlenose plecos and do have a male that is starting to get his whiskers. He is not quite 3 inches. If you are interested let me know, I will get a pic for you. These are regular finned.

Hi all,
I am new to the forum and fairly new to dwarf cichlids. I have been breeding angelfish for 4 years now and I am branching out into new territory. I have 2 pairs of german blue rams in 20's w/sand bottom, low cover and other spawning sites. I have had them for several months and in...
