I lost all my females in a recent move so I'm waiting for juvies to grow up and pair off so I'm not currently breeding, just waiting. Sent from my NX008HD8G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

He may have lost the fin in a fight, and injuries n also cause bent fins. One of my best males was a big leopard super veil with a severely crooked fin, but the fin issue was because he was nipped by tetras before I got him and he had to regrow the fin. All of his offspring have perfect veil...

So that's why you haven't checked in for a while!!! You find a fortune yet Bob??? If not, I hope you do... Sent from my NX008HD8G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Well... my life threw me some curve balls d I ended up moving, and lost all my females. I also got a blue pearlscale pair, and lost the female from that... taking some time to let my juvies grow and mature, and prob get some new juvies to start new lines... :( oh well, life goes on. Sent from...

Well, I left unexpectedly for a few days, right before my wigglers became swimmers. Got home this afternoon and peaked at the tanks to see a HUGE cloud of fry around gold/gold marble pair. The fry are currently tucked into the corner for the night. I fed them as soon as I for home, and there is...

Thanx!!! I actually have clean rainwater collecting in a tank outside as I was gonna use the tank to raise bloodworms and marbled crays outside this summer. I'll have to borrow some water from it next time they spawn. The tank is kept at 78-80 so I didn't think temp was an issue. Of will be...

I also have a 20 tall, and 39, but would like to use them as breeder tanks. I currently have my other pair in the 18... Sent from my NX008HD8G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

His last spawn had about 25 survivers when I got home. Most of it was fungused eggs. I added them to the other pair's wigglers and they never even noticed the difference. His last 3 spawns, with 2 different females have been like this. He ate the other 2 before I could pull them. When he started...

I have 2 breeding pairs right now. What kinds of angels are you looking to breed??? I also have a guest ion for Andy and Bob tho... my big male I sow past his prime as spawns are having less and less fertile eggs from him, which he has noticed and has turned him into an egg eater. What would...

Got home from my gram's today. The eggs in the jar, which got no meds cause none are meth. blue, were wigglers. There were a lot of the fungused eggs, but also a few living wigglers. So I sucked the wigglers and blew them at the gold/gold marble's wall of wigglers. They picked up the ones that...

Well, checked on the tanks one last time before bed, and Leo, my smokey male, was snacking away on eggs. So I moved them to a jar, inside the 10g fry tank for now. There are a lot of dead eggs and I'm going to be away until Monday some time. I have no antifungals in it now as I'm not sure what I...

Thanx Andy!!! I'll have to look into it. I used old ugf tubes and sponge I got out of a shipping box of razors (from when I worked at Walmart last summer) the filters I made work great, but I'm now out of tubing as I made the filters for 20-29 g tanks... Sent from my NX008HD8G using Aquarium...

I have a rack set up in my basement, but I don't have the filters, or more importantly the heaters for them. I have plenty of tanks for the moment being... and lots of foam to make filters... need to find tubing to make the filters... I need a job so I can get all this stuff taken care of. But...

OK. Both spawns were layed just hours apart... looks like I'm prob gonna be setting the 20g back up. I had just switched the few fry I had left from the gold/gold marbles last successful spawn to a 10g from the 20 as they couldn't find food and weren't growing anymore, they were starving...

Well I put both my males with their wives, and both pairs layed today!!! Yay babies... but I was wondering... could I put my smokey/silver pair's eggs with the gold/gold marble pair to care for with their eggs??? They are better parents. Sent from my NX008HD8G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

i personally dont use breeder traps anymore as the stress can make them either hold fry, or abort the pregnancy... i would just make sure there are tons of hiding places and check for babies every morning as she is likely to drop at night. i got 11 fry from my last female to drop this way. you...

question? did you do the vinegar test on the slate... limestone and sandstone can both alter ph... i test all new rocks with vinegar before using... if they bubble it indicates a reaction and they are no good. just rinse after to get the vinegar off.

Where did the slate come from??? Pull everything new from the tank and do a WC in case its something from that... Sent from my NX008HD8G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

yup, snail eggs is what it looks like to me...

I have a bare bottom breeding tank, and part of my 55 I'd divided off and bare bottom for my 2 breeding pairs. Sent from my NX008HD8G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

They will!!! Get them a sponge filter and you should be able to just let them raise the fry. That's what I do. So awesome to watch them care for babies!!! Sent from my NX008HD8G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

She is prob a hybrid or very plain fancy then. And I had a breeding colony of feeders that got wiped out by fungus. I managed to save 2 females. Lost the other a while ago tho. Then I saw my 2 fancy males at Walmart where I was working at the time and needed them!!! Then I went and got them...

Did you remove the gravel as I suggested??? Sent from my NX008HD8G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

How long is the blonde?? She very well could be a feeder. I have a female feeder that is over a year old (I know cause she was born in my tank) she is about an inch long and done growing. Sent from my NX008HD8G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

She looks like she might be in labor... may have even already delivered some. Like I said before these are really young girls so its harder to tell how far along just cause they don't get as big... does she look like she is pushing at all??? She will flex up or down... Sent from my NX008HD8G...
