Yes that shift key always gives me problems. :)

I do also have Chinese algae eaters that are about 3.5'. They do well as long as they are with other aggressive types.

I can also help with Panda Cories, Green Aeneas Cories and Flying Foxes if you like. Let me know if I can help Jay

After a few days they should be able to take the BBS though, just put a few in and watch them to see if they accept it. Jay

Hi all, Just a quick not on the feeding of the GBR fry. When they first hatch use fry powder and Walter worms, for the first 2 days, then you can use Walter worms and BBS, if you are using just an airline in their hatchout tank, then you can put some very tiny ramshorn snails in there to eat...

HI, The Barbs are the only ones you really have to move, they are the most aggressive. Add some floating plants or Java moss to the tank for the fry to hide in, In our guppy breeder tanks we just us Christmas Garland for them. As long as your filtration is adequate you shouldn't have any...

They may peck at them, thinking they are food. It may be best to do a water change and get the filter running. Just add water from that 10 to your filter to get some good bacteria in it. When they get dime size they will be fine to put in the other tank. Of course you will have to get more...

Yes you are correct. The biggest thing right now is to get the water cleared up, as the cloudiness means that the bad bacteria is taking over and all the fish will become ill. It is important to get the filter running and do a 50% water change, if you have another well established tank you can...

If you can set up a 10 with a sponge filter and put the fry in that. You will want to be sure the sponge filter is cycled well before putting it in there though. Place a snail or 2 in there to help with the excess food too. When they get bigger you can put a small Ancistrus pleco in with them to...

We have a breding pair set up. I was about to give up hope on them until I came home one day and my wife told me they did it. They spawned in a cave with 7.2 ph and near neutral soft water, which I was surprised. They just spawned and I didn't know until the female was guarding the cave. Now...

Wow thats a few fry. Do you have enough grow out tanks? Also did you put airlines in the bowls? It will helpkeep the oxygen levels up. Also if you have a SMALL snail you can put in each bowl, it will eat any excess food and help keep the bowl from clouding up. Good luck and nice job. Those will...

It is better if they don't have to search to hard to find their food. Moving them is probably the best bet. This is the most fun and trying part of raising them, but when you succeed you really feel like you accomplished something. Have fun jay

May I suggest some Albino Bristlenose Plecos, get them young and they are Algae eating machines. They only grow to 4" and are great for any tank. They don't eat plants and are peaceful fish. Get them at 1.5 to 2" and let them go. You can leave your lights on all day if you like. Also real...

Sorry, Update:: The Boss corrected me. The fry get very fine fry powder for the first few days, then the worms. Jay

Hi, Get some micro worms or Banana worms or Walter worm cultures, they will love them and they are small enough for them to eat. Yes they are very hard at first to keep alive. Feed them a couple times a day if you can. Rainbows are mop spawners, so any thing you have that is similar, is where...

55s are a great way to go, they are very versatile as far as having a wide range of option of things to do. As far as plants go you can just add phosphorous and nitrogen suppliment, made by Flourish. Just add once a month and set the lights on a 12 hour timer. Add a bunch of fish away you go...

Thank you. Those are the Rams my wife raises, and our namesake. Jay

I'll try to get pics up of the fish room. We have a drain pipe in front of each rack that drains into a tub, in which there is a sump pump that pushes it outside through a hose to our gardens. We have a filter that the water comes through to eliminate chlorine and sediment. The water lines I...

Thank you all, and yes I am. Jay

HI All, Which you may know the general rule of thumb is one inch of adult fish per gallon. Dependant on filtration you may even go more than that. Water changes are important too. Live plants help turn CO2 into O2 also. The Ph may drop on its own as you add fish, and your filter cycles itself...

I will put something together. Hopefully by tonight. Jay

My wife and I have a modest little fish room in our basement(about 166 tanks and 4- 55s,1- 75 and 1-46 Bow front in our living room, and 1-30 gallon in the bedroom) all in all about 2000 gallons of tanks. We breed and raise a few varieties (about 2 dozen), and I just recently started acquiring...
