i've had mixed luck with these guys this summer.i seeded a 600 gallon stock tank and got loads of them for a while and as it got hot they have slowed way down.my 300 gallon tub didnt do well at all had it out in full sun and it produced for a little while.i did something though that turned out...
i was wondering if there is anything i could look for specifically to try to sex these guys.the biggest ones are about 1 and a quarter inches.they look alike to me and i'm afraid they may all be female.the biggest one has lost most of the stripe down the midline and i am hoping it is male.i'm...
after being out of the hobby after a couple of years i have started to keep and breed a few kinds of fish again.i have raised at least 2 or 3 thousand rams in the past but for some reason this time around i am having problems.this particular pair will eat the fry if i leave them in for more...
i have finally got another culture producing after 3 attempts.i had assumed it would be easy cause i had the last one going for over 2 years -no problems.tried twice back in the winter with organic potting soil(could'nt find anything else in the off season) and it just does'nt work well.they...
Has anyone heard how Hudson is getting along.he is staying not to terribly far from where i live.i would think he would find this area kinda boring compared to Brasil(at least after the novelty wears off) just wondered how he was doing.
here is a strange question for everyone.i have'nt found anything yet that brings out the color of my rams and angels like frozen cyclopeeze but it is fairly expensive.i have some "vermillion" orange koi angels that i'm conditioning for sale at the aca and am wondering how to get the most bang...
i was wondering if anyone coming to the convention might be able to bring me a trio or pair of taeniacara candidi and or some b.opercularis.if so let me know price.old school was going to hook me up with some candidi but i can't get ahold of him.tried emailing him no response.i've been wanting...
i was wondering if anyone had ever tried keeping these little dwarf halfbeaks in with any of the more peaceful dwarf cichlids.i was thinking of setting up a show tank with some of my dicrossus filamentosa and some rams and a group of these guys and maybe some dwarf L number catfish.i'm getting a...
here is something that i thought might interest anyone out there that keep daphnia.i have a 300gallon water tank that i keep about half full of water full of daphnia.in the past i've fed green water(as i was able to produce it) and babyfood(sweet potatoes diluted in water)it worked pretty...
i was wondering if size is any indication of sex for some apistos(i know it is for my cac's and agazizi) specifically macmasteri and hongsloi(super rostrich).i have a "trio" of macmasteri but to me they all look a lot alike.two are quite a bit smaller then (maybe 2/3's the size of the male) and...
hi everone!i was wondering how you all deal with collecting your microworms.seems like i always get some culture medium with the worms.i've got 5 new spawns of angels,some rams and 3 other kinds of fry so i decided to try microworms again to give myself a little wiggle room in case my bbs take a...
i bought this trio of fish as viejita rio meta and i'm wondering if they aren't macmasteri after seeing mikes reply to the woman in the netherlands.the pic doesn't do the male justice but its the best i could do.
i was wondering if anyone could share a little information about these guys.i've never spawned any west africans before except h.lifalili.i bought a pair a little over 3 weeks ago.they spawned last tuesday.didn't see the female for 2 days.then she came out for brief periods for a few days.the...
hi everyone!i have tried 3 different kinds of sand(tahitian moon sand,3m color quarz and quartz pool filter sand) they all seem to affect my water chemistry in ways i'm not liking.i'm getting tired of setting up tanks and not being able to keep the ph and hardness where i want it(my barebottom...
i've been using sulphuric acid to lower the ph of my ro/di water.i bought a plastic container of sodium bisulfate and am going to mix up a stock solution of ro water and the s.bisulfate.does anyone have any idea how much i would want to add to a gal or liter of water.also any idea as to how much...
after 3 different setups my checkerboards decided to spawn in a barebottom 20long with a large piece of driftwood in it.i found them tonight(about 50 fry)the female has been trying her best to kill the male and extra female for maybe a week now(stupid me thought she was just being mean)i pulled...
need some advice.i pulled the 32- 1/2" fry put them in a 10gal tank.i didn't use parents tank water like i should have and they were all dead by the next day.i'm not sure if it was the water or if i overfed them bbs.i've had angel frys stomach bust before so i'm not sure what killed them.the...
i was wondering if any of you guys have had any issues with bloat after feeding live daphnia.uwe romer cautioned me about overfeeding apistos when i asked him for some tips at the aca in atlanta.i've tried to watch how much i feed them but evidently i fed my cac's too many daphnia and lost one...
i have agazizi and caucatoides fry around the same size.i was wondering if i could get away with growing them out together.i need to get them out of their parents tanks and have limited tank space.my agazizi continued to spawn after the last batch i had but the older siblings always ate the new...
i got what appears to be a trio of f1 or f2 dicrosus filimentosas.i've had them in a spare 10gal tank that i had set up for a pair of rams(the rams are not in there now)one of the females looks to be gravid so i would like to move them into an appropriate breeding setup.any sugestions as to tank...
