    One more Daisy Ricefish fry !

    Saw another one this morning.. and it looks identical to the one I saw more than a week ago, so I think it must be another one, not the same one. Got a pic, but all you can see is a bright blue blur where the eyes are. Their eyes glow brilliant neon blue.. the rest is transparent, so pics are...

    Giant ramshorns as duckweed control ?

    To my surprise, my giant ramshorns have proven to be outrageous consumers of floating plants, most especially duckweed, salvinia and frogbit. I put them all in a 5G tank, because they were making a mess of the frogbit in my frog's tank. I had lots of frogbit, it was just getting really beaten...

    This can't be normal, part 2 - QT debate

    [Moderator edit Continuing post from this thread regarding fish possibly having Ich Part 1 http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f12/this-cant-be-normal-323936-3.html#post3095289] ] I will continue to pray I never have to deal with it myself. I've been fortunate so far and I'm careful too. QT is...

    Daisy rice fish fry !

    I might have some live fry, after I'd pretty much lost all hope of it happening. I lost Bubblebutt, my female Rice fish, perhaps because I didn't ever separate her from her male and she spawned non stop all summer. She simply vanished last week, and I suspect she died and was eaten by the...

    can a fish spawn so much it dies ?

    I had an amazing pair of Daisy Rice fish, and they started spawning last June. I'm fairly sure she spawned every day since then, though I have not yet seen any fry. The tank conditions may not be right for the fry, and I am so far from being any kind of expert on rearing eggs. This species...

    experience raising Daisy rice fish anyone?

    I have a pair of these charming little fish, and they have been spawning all summer long. The female has new eggs at least every two or three days. They are an oddity, because the female sticks her eggs to her ventral fin for some hours, swimming around with them. At some point she either...

    Daisy rice fish spawning

    I have just one pair of these charming little fish, with their neon blue glowing eyes. I've started seeing eggs on the female every couple of days, which is great, but I've never raised fry from eggs and I read they take about 3 weeks to hatch. So assuming any hatch, they have a day to use up...

    Opinions on whether I should try this ?

    What I'm thinking of involves some minor surgery on a Betta fish. I've a fair bit of experience doctoring a number of various animals, from wild birds and squirrels to shell damaged turtles and snails. I'm good with my hands, not squeamish, and have a fair bit of practice at advanced first aid...

    Picky betta

    Suggestions for enticing a very picky Orange Polka Dot HM to eat more ? He seems to prefer live food to dry, and I'm culturing wingless fruit flies & bean weevils, and will soon have micro worms. He has eaten both flies and weevils but where his other Betta pals would eat a dozen flies, he...
