Sorry i came off a little rude in my last post. I listened to a sales rep the other day advise a costomer that it was ok to simalarly stock a 40 and stories like this frustrate the heck outa me. I aplogize sara i read your other post with the back story to this situation. And its not your fault...

Cool little product thnks for the info

You should be ok as long as you kept the original filter media in your filters to seed. Your nitrates are high tho. It is likely due to the substrate being stirred up during the move. I would be inclined to test water paramters one in the am and once in the pm for the next two weeks just to be...

So do you use the hot pack you stick in your mittons lol. Thats what i was thinking of using anf placing it under the bag in a small styrofoam cooler with an old towel packed all around that to prevent shifting and keeping heat in. I know thosee things get pretty warm for the first hour or two...

Im wondering if anyone has shipped fry via ups or priority post? Or recived for that matter. Im wondering how they keep the water temp correct. Do you just put one of those hot packs in the cooler with the bag or does this add too much heat. A friend wants me to overnight ship some convit fry...

Not sure bout the chiclids but i know for certian that the two cat fish are pitcus these are eating machines and will get very big. If i read correct you have a 40 gal tank? If this is the case then they need to go asap. You will need a minimum of 200gal to have a chance at housing all these...

Ooops sorry got confused with another post lol sorry bout that

How did it go did u get them transfered ok

They should be ok aslong as your gentle and your water parameters are ok. Just make sure you keep up with your daily water changes and keep the grow out tank as clean as possiple.

Odds are its a female you will know better in a while when your blessed with a buch of babbies. Nice specimines

Its been a long time since ive done angels but koi strains where always popular and fetched a few bucks. Pearl side i think they are called are really pretty fish to, and they seem more costly compared to marbles or silvers. I have aleays wanted to breed a koi and pearl side together to try and...

The bottom pic the single fish is deffinatly a male, a nice one too. The top pic with the two in frame is a little harder to tell with out the dorsel fin up full. I think its female but not sure. When it is swimming around the tank, if the back of the dorsel fin is more rounded and dosnt come to...

If u have oscars id get them out asap. As soon as they start free swimming the oscars will get them. Even a rubermaid bin will work or something to the effect. If have a 5 or a 10 gallon thats perfect you can siphon off enough water out of your display tank to keep them going. Course you will...

My bowfeont display tank (firemouth platty daino and red tailded shark) The other is my octagon which is now my convit breeder)

I definatly see your point, i do trust my water and set ups and have not had any issues. I have always figured that juviniles are very vulnerable to almost everything i want to give them the best start possibe. That being said when i pick my breeders out of my hatches they dont get treated so i...

Thanks for the input. As i say i do this as a preventative. I quarenteen and treat any new fish coming in, so my thought process is to do the same going out. Maybe im being overly cautious.

Water change water change water chage. Im not sure if jd will care for their young or not if they do life is easy. Do a water change. Take a bunch of flake food place in a ziplock bag and crush in to a fine powder and use this to feed babbies about 4 or 5 times a day. To feed just take a pinch...

Im just wondering when others treat their babbie for ich and fungul meds? My new pair of convits hae babbies 10 days ago and the hatch has turned out exceptonally well. I have approx 200 that have surived to this point, my best mortality rate yet breeding fish. I will pull the babbies in a few...

Very well stated Fishfur. When i was doing reptiles and anphips. Most of my speciminse where rescues and the most common ailment was metabolic bone desise, due to lack of calcium. Some where so bad i had to do injections, not fun and very costly. Ime i added calcium according to directions and...

Good thing you didnt allow them to dump them in a canal. The species you have ate not native to the uk to the best of my knowledge. This is a huge problem in the pet industry. I used to keep reptiles a while back including turtles. (Red ears are common here in canada). A few points on keeping...

Oh yeah btw, thanks to all for all the input it is appreciated and sorry bout all the spelling mistakes lol. Im a terrible speller.

Yeah did a lil reasearch on tangs and realize they are too big which is not a big deal, i know i can find something else that will work. Heck id be happy with just a coral tank lol, i love corals. The skimmer i do plan on adding at a later date, its just a matter of affordability at the moment...

My main concern is the set up it self. I have never done sw before so im not sure if i well be beat before i even start if i go with filtration and substrate as mentioned above. I will stock fish to suite the tank and filtration. The family is prepared for that.

Yes i have. They are insistant on the clown but other than that all options are open. I personally like wrasses but im keeping out of the selection for the most part as i have all my fw tanks so this will be for them. But i will NOT allow them to pick something that wont work and just die

What about my beach sand idea good or no?
