i have a spotted mandarin two reds, which i am trying to breed, and none of them eat prepared foods , just copepods which my system is full of , they are producing more copepods then they can eat , so i don.t worry about them eating food

hey all, had a question on what would be the best food to feed to red mandarin fry, like to get things ready for hopefully my first spawn,

you would have room, but if you get babies, that will be a problem for sure.

the fish would need an airstone and really some kind of filter to survive for any amount of time, its normal for the male to chase the female around, normally will not do any harm, more than one female is best for each male you have, usually 3 to 1

your very welcome, anytime i can help someone, to make there fish experience a good one is worth it, as far as where to put it you would have to have it in a tank with a light, i had over twenty tanks running so i never ran out of room, and i use to give a little away.goodluck

i fed them for the first month, after a couple weeks i would alternate the worms with first bites, dry food for fry. then i was able to right to flake food, crushed up,

thankyou, for the info

no extra work at all with java moss. all they need is basic light, no feedings, nothing , it will spread, i bought a baseball size bunch on aquabid, i ended up with six or seven tanks full of them, my gardinia killifish loved them they are egg layers, they would swim in it lay there eggs, and...

you will have more than enough in just one culture , you swipe a toothpick on the side of your plastic container where the microworms are, and shake the toothpick in water, whats great about the worms is they are climbing up the sides so you don't have to worry about getting any of the medea...

one think i wanted to let you know, not sure what you have in your tank, for plants, but if you want a good cheap and very easy plant for your baby fry, get some java moss, this stuff will grow with no extra work,just needs normal tank lighting, this stuff is great for baby hiding places and...

yes three two one is the way to go. green algea, can be a pain, soak it in warm water , then some scrubbing, do not use soap, you will have to get the new tank cycled, so amonia build up won,t happen which will kill your fish, let the tank run, and some people put a couple fish in to get the...

wow, thats to bad, ill look at your thread,thanks

you should get a culture of micro worms, i had several types of cichlids breeding in my fish room, had great success with those , and they are so easy to keep, i bought a culture on aquabid. com. for three dollars, and when the culture starts to die off you make a new one with oatmeal and yeast,

ok thanks

its sometimes hard to get fish to get along, all the time, the smaller the tank the harder it is , chasing is normal as long as there is no severe damage to each other, the only other thing to do is to put a seperator in your tank, if you don't have a place for him

make sure you have some places for the fish to hide, and also give the male guppy a couple female guppies to chase, to give the platy a break

i had some of those very nice, make sure you have a good cover , they are jumpers

attempting to breed red mandarins, just wanted to know what would be the best first food for the fry,

yeah have to go with smaller pump or bigger pipe, you won't loose siphon if your overflow was built right

on my fist part of the sump, where tank water enters i have a chamber where i keep my flosss cabon, and bio balls, not every one has that but its been working great for me, then my refugium, where my live rock chaeto and other algeas grow, skimmer, bubble trap than pump, i had to do alot of...

you could, maybe on the large side for the show tank, but you could, turn into a sump, refugium. have room to put a skimmer in there also, you don't need to drill holes . just make or buy a overflow setup so the water will gravity feed to sump.. you will need to buy a pump that can pump up to...

good luck.keep us posted

congads on the fry. i don't officially count the babies actual birth until they are free swimming, while they are wigglers they still have there yolk sack they are feeding off of

most of the time they are very good parents, but once in a while they will eat the eggs or babies. don't panic right away if you see the parents take them in there mouths, they will do that to clean them and to kind of round them up when they stray or if there is danger.
