It looks a LOT like a livebearer fry to me.....my platy fry looked exactly like that. My GBR fry looked nothing like that. Guppy seems possible.

Check your breakers before selling the tanks. I saw a HUGE spike last year on my bill in March which made NO sense whatsoever, and it turned out that my water heater was constantly running and heating water causing a huge drain. Seems the thermostat on it might have gone haywire. Anyway, I...

Yeah, they kept eating all the other sets....even when they got to the fry stage, but these have been in there quite sometime and there are quite a few to say the least. I'll snap some piccies of the babies tonight....there in plain view on top of an Amazon Sword leaf. Mom keeps them there in...

I LOVE those koi angels. I had one too, but I had to give him to a friend because he was getting beat on by the 'couple' that formed. Dad is a silver marble and mom is gold....they have wiggling fry as I type. I miss my poor little koi.....yours are absolutely stunning. I wish my gold...

The male is the main defender....he will even chase the female away sometimes, but that's okay. I preferred to move the eggs themselves to a grow out tank. Of course, mine were laid in a 55 gallon tank full of fish and I had no where to put that many fish, but I got a container (plastic cup)...

I'm getting ready to start setting up my 29 gallon shellie tank and I was wondering....how many L. occellatus could I comfortably put in there? Anyone with experience want to chime in? I also plan to scape it with plenty of shells and some rocks, and mabe java fern attached to the rocks, but...

75K....wow!! 8O I'm not jumping out of my chair. It was okay, I guess you have to be into rare things. I would rather spend less on a monster set-up that could actually hold fish.

On another note of caution with angel aggressiveness......I had three in my tank and when the dominant male paired up with the lone female they picked on the outcast male pretty bad. They weren't beating the crap out of him exactly, but it was pretty stressful looking for him, so I gave him to...

Rummy's are a tad on the large side even for adult angels. I have some in with my full grown breeding pair with no problems. They don't bother the plants either.

I have bred my rams successfully on several occassions, and I keep the water temp at 80 degrees. I wait for the parents to pick off the fungused/non-fertilized eggs. I never move eggs until the eggs start moving. By then, it's safe to say that all the fungus eggs are gone. This has worked...

City of Harlingen population: 63,500 Mom & Pop Pet Shops: 2, Harlingen Pets & Animals Galore Chains: PetSmart & SuperWalmart I will buy fish at both Mom & Pop's (although Animals Galore is better) and I have bought fish @ PetSmart, but hell would have freeze over twice before I would buy any...

My 55 has 2 breeding angels, 4 breeding GBR's, 2 different Apisto species, rummynose, Von Rio, Cochu's Blue tetras, 1 lone platy, and a Queen Arabesque pleco, and I have a Penguin 350 w/2 bio-wheels and a Eheim ECCO 2233 (now know as 2234). My fish breed like mad. I'm way over filtered, but I...

How many gallons is it? I know angle fish prefer taller tanks, but it depends on how much water is available when deciding on what to stock.

Obviously they didn't bother to look at the pics of mine.....she's beautiful. Full of color with pretty fins. Some people just have no taste. :roll:

I need to go into business.....I think I could do okay. I ended up buying from Austin Apistos and I'm pleased so far. Don't know where Tarmack is....maybe his rams weren't as ready as he thought.

I'm going to have to set up several 'nureseries' around the house. Both sets of rams have spawned, than angels keep spawning, but none of the eggs have been making it. I suspect the Queen Arabesque is snacking at night. I'm looking to set a breeding operation up.....this is too good to pass...

That fish was on my "gotta have" list from the get go....I have them now in my 55 and I love to watch them. They are the coolest. I got mine at Petsmart....very healthy. Cool fish.

Man, I like Apistos, angels, and rams, but my absolute favorite out of those HAS to be my rams. They are just too cute!!!

Nope, plain view....these rams did just like my last ram couple....they used my CO2 diffuser. LOL, it's perfectly flat and apparantly the best place in the whole tank for rams to spawn.

Yeah, LOL, I don't know what's in the water in that 55, but I can't KEEP the fish from spawning. :lol: I sent an email to the guy I got these rams from and he's pretty impressed too. I hope I get some babies.

Well, here I go again. Sorry, but I'm about to pop with pride!!! My new rams, that I've only had for less than a week, already have eggs, and my angel pair has laid eggs at the SAME time. It is too funny to watch two very different types and sizes of cichlids defending their eggs at the...

One word....PYTHON!!! I already have one, it will just take time to do. My house is first floor with a concrete foundation, so weight isn't going to be an issue. Another thing, how does one filter a set-up this massive?? Would I have to get a 2nd mortgage on my house??? 8O Hopefully, it...

I'm thinking huge African cichlid tank. I love the Malawi fish. I just can't decide which ones I like the most. Nor would I have any idea which were compatible with what and how many I could have. The idea is daunting!! Does anyone have ANY idea what the dimensions of a 200 gallon tank...

This is really a serious big **maybe** , but a friend of mine's son had to help remove a 200 gallon FW tank over the weekend and they took it someone's home that didn't really want it. I ***might*** have a chance to get it for riduculously cheap. I don't really want to think about it since...
