This comment and its visual. Congrats on taking steps towards bundles of wigglers! My next purchase will either be pinoy paraibas or koi so excited about your koi project.

Hilarious! There's an interesting article idea...

Andy, I'm eager to see what you have cooking up there! Shawn

The Angelfish Society Newsletter The fall issue of FinTAStic is ready and I hope you enjoy reading it. For all the breeding talk here, you might find the albino article interesting. High resolution version (2.8MB): http://www.theangelfishsociety.org/newsletters/2013_Sept_HighRes_v30.pdf Low...

Hi everyone! Between house painting in the dead heat of summer in Florida and caring for my 2-month-old angels, I haven't posted lately... but there's been ton of activity here! I'm surfacing because work has started on the September issue of FinTAStic, the official newsletter of The Angelfish...

Lol... My pair did this frequently and each time my initial thought was, "Oh Gosh, they ate them! I should've removed them." Then the panic would subside. ;-)

Even though I am days late with a reply, wanted to say I agree with Andy's informative post. Many of the concerned breeders I follow are adamant about identifying swap partners with high quality fish to ensure fresh genetic code is bred into their lines without compromising the traits they're...

Congrats oscarchic11, I'm following along and enjoying.

Excited to see what comes from your breeding program!

More details at http://flafishshow.com/ It's at the airport Holiday Inn in Fort Myers.

Any of my Florida neighbors attending the Florida Fish Expo this weekend? I'm driving in for the auction Sunday and would love to connect in person. Shawn

Thanks Andy. The Altum tank is a thing of beauty. Seeing Altums in person was a fun moment, the enormity of their scale was comical! I know they're bigger but didn't really appreciate it until there was a tankful staring at me.

Hey everyone, I'm the newsletter committee chairman for The Angelfish Society and wanted to share the June issue of FinTAStic. Breeding will be the focus of the next issue so I will be looking for guest authors (hint, hint). Hope you guys enjoy! Low Resolution 3.3mb...

Congrats oscarchic11!

Small world! I actually have Lakeland on the list of possible places should I decide to escape the congestion one day. Breeding fish and building buildings, that's a swell welcome!

Wow, I'm really digging your ram!

Hey Andy, congrats on the recovering patient and potential facility upgrade! Was just reading an article about Lakeland and have a buddy who grew up in Winter Haven, nice area out there where you are... I'm jealous!

I haven't personally kept them, but find the Harlequin Rasbora to be very attractive. They do well in tanks that have been set up awhile and are balanced. The freshwater specialty store near me has stunning planted display tanks with schools of rasboras. I'd do a school of at least 10. Do some...

Forums are great for information overload! :) Good luck and be careful if you go with rummynose because they are very tough to acclimate.

It seems like they're being shocked by a difference between your and the store tanks. I experienced similar results with some rummynose tetra once, so I went to a very slow acclimation process. Float the bag in the tank for the entire process so the temperature remains the same. Give them 15-20...

Awesome update brewing! I'm excited to see what you've cooked up. - Shawn

I agree is it a combination of congos school size and other tank mates, but I don't like the idea of adding a more aggressive fish. Congos aren't the best schoolers and can be timid, so simply having a larger (peaceful) fish they might perceive as a threat at times might make them show. I have...

Mr. Fishman has given you some great advice. I tend to follow the one adult per 10 gallon philosophy as well. While nothing is set in stone, at least understanding the guidelines and reasons behind them help you make informed decisions. If we're talking young fish, I'd personally keep multiples...

Bob, what a collection! So much variety! Show me angel with a hint of blue and I'm sold, but really like the koi as well.

I agree this likely isn't their first time at the rodeo! Appreciate the tips, added a sponge filter to the tank tonight. Thanks for the compliment, I'm a fan of the smokey pattern.
