looking good personally i would not have used an airline on top though Another simpler option would be to make a hole on the pipe and on the side of the end cap. If you then dont glue the end cap, you can fine tune your drain line by turning the end cap in order to adjust the air going in the...

i am a bit lazy to take pictures myself now but here is one from the web:) The white spots on the gill cover and the pectorial fin are the breeding stars (breeding tubercles) The eggs are sticky and will adhere to plants, decoration and gravel. The female will release eggs preferably close...

Agreed. BN plecos are quite easy to breed provided the right conditions. It might take a while but once they start there is no stopping them. I suggest that you take a look at planet catfish. Its an excellent site and will provide you most, if not all information you require to successfully...

just some side notes to the above posts The 29g tank is more than sufficient. I do not follow the 20gallon for first and 10g for every other fish rule as i find it very exaggerated. Personally I would keep up to 3 goldfish max in that tank, provided a very good filtration and good water quality...

the males have tiny white points (breeding stars) on the gill covers and along the first ray of their pectoral fins. Mine were about 1-1.5 years old when they laid eggs. Sexual maturity should be around a year old. Some of my young moors (the results of this breeding), already have breeding...

the video was shortly after feeding time and there were some tiny pieces of food on the sand:) I fixed the link to the other video! thanks for the heads up thanks both for your comments!

thanks for the comments everyone! Here is an update i kept the 8 most beautiful ones and put them in my new tank. The rest i brough to a trusty LFS YouTube - Black Moors 5 months old Yesterday i removed all anubias from the tank as the little terrors literally tore them apart. They seemed to...

thanks! here is some info that you might find helpful;) -first of all if you make similar jets, know that water will go out at much higher pressure. At first i had one jet but it could shoot water across the whole room. Thats why i made a second one and combined them. by the way, the pressure...

Update! After realizing that styrofoam by itself would compress and cause problems with the bottom of the tank, i redesigned my "dressinator :D" I bought 12mm thick hardwood and placed it on top of the styrofoam. Then i covered them with the black cloth. I also wired the lights and all...

hmm i read a bit on this on the web after your post Doesnt seem like a good idea after all.. HOWEVER, my stand is not flat in the middle and something MUST be done.. Replacing the top is not an option How about this: Redo the styrofoam base but differently Stand-->Styrofoam-->wooden...

its been a while after my last update but here it is! I moved the aquarium and stand from the basement to my house (3rd floor) OMG the stand was heavy! The surface of my diy stand wasnt what i would call straight Thats when i figured that Styrofoam is your best friend! My problem: styrofoam...

hehe they are very active indeed. Thats what makes it so fun for me :D I will keep 5 of them, give 2-3 to relatives and the rest i will give to a experienced LFS. Sadly enough i cant keep them all as i want them to grow properly, but i trust that LFS and i know that they wont end up to be in a bowl

UPDATE! 4months old! video also contains feeding :D YouTube - Black Moor Fry 4 Months old

edit: LMAO at "feel fry" unintended mistake haha sounds like your feeding is really good honestly i wouldnt worry about their size as soon as they are healthy and eating fry grow really fast. i think in your case their growth was slown down by low temps. Fish have higher metabolism rates at...

here is all that i did: - Make sure that the fry stay warm (about 22 C). I used a heater during the first month for that as fry are most vulnurable when they are small. After the first month i just left them at room temp (around 20-22 as well) Make sure that temp doesnt fluctuate much...

thats a very nice looking stand Mine took a lot of patching and fixing to get it looking nice but it looks like you got it spot on!

Here is an update I installed the lighting outside of the aquarium and took some pictures Connections on the ballast Lighting. I made the photo much darker than it was so that you can see the bulbs and the light easier After this i will focus on removing those scratches from the glass and...
