Sinibotia's & MissGurnus's various builds!

H202 for us in US is 3%.
1 ml per gallon should be safe for the eggs.

Thanks! We'll pick some up tomorrow and then if we get wigglers we'll get some bs eggs in the mail.

Female ram almost seems like she's trying to find a gravel spot in the patchwork of pot dishes.... If they spawn on the gravel again I'm gonna soften their water WITH FRESH SNOW

 

[sinibotia]

Still no spawn, and still seems there's indecision about where to spawn. The male seems settled on the dish but the female is intent on poking around all the gravel spots. Fingers crossed they choose one of the flowerpot dishes.

We're excited beyond belief. Breeding angelfish has been our planned project for a while now and we couldn't ask for a better chance. Thank you again! We really can't convey how grateful we are.

Think I could get away with an oto or two in the ram tank?

Yay! How many did you get?

 

[sinibotia]

I got 8! 2 for the ram tank, 6 for the angelfish tank. Expecting some mortality, hoping for 4 in the 55 and 1 in the 10. I also got some good Vermont slate!

Has anyone ever had their rams hurt their mouth cleaning a spot? My male looks like he might have a tiny scratch or something on his lip. Dunno where he would have got it.

That's great, looking forward to pics once they're settled in!

 

[sinibotia]

The slate is nice good slate too, got it from a tile supply store. Cut into 3x12 sections. 4 pieces of slate for 3 pairs of angelfish should be good!

Also, Ann has convinced me I'm just paranoid, so disregard the question about the ram injury Here's hoping they spawn soon. Female looks very ready, nice and fat and I see her tube.

 

[coralbandit]

Glad you found slate!
I'm sure it is cheaper then priority but I couldn't get estimate online(new attempts??)besides priority prices??.
Otos are too cool!

Pretty certain mine have breed in my 180, but some days I see none and others I find 5+ in one area of plants...

As far as injury it is certainly possible.
Keep their water real clean now..
The changing water can induce spawning.

 

[sinibotia]

Water is full of plants and just changed Sunday so it should be real clean I see everybody's tubes right now- angels and rams.

The one worry I have about this slate are green/blue looking spots. They were in there all along, but I didn't think about them being copper. I swear if it's copper.... Well, at least I have a copper test kit. I can let them soak and test for copper in a few days.
