Nice fish mate. How much did the pair cost?

[Discus Planetarium]

well done are they in there own tank how big is the tank if you get swimers you will have alot of work to do lol...

[Exotic Aquatic]

congrats mate!, if you get some eye balls in those eggs be sure to stick a spinge on the end of that intake ok?

Wow exciting:D

good luck man!

[swifto]

thanks all,no not in own tank but a communial tank.doute any will servive.will do what i can.

[Exotic Aquatic]

get a divider dude!

[swifto]

hi, would like to know if perspex can b used as a divider,will drill holes (smallest drill i have)or is it toxic.and has anyone used this b4

[pfeff]

There is definately a perspex you can use but I dont know what grade etc.

I just remember the show on the Okinawa Aquarium and the big viewing window is made of like 30 or 60cm thick perspex...

[Discus Planetarium]

this is what i think you should do get a 2ft tank put sponge filter air stone heater leave it bb no stones put a breeding cone or a pot in when she is about to lay her eggs turn air pump off when they are finished turn air pump back on.when you have swimmers take sponge filter out so the fry will go to the parents lower your water and keep up with your water changes they may eat the eggs but they will get it right some day give them time good luck....

now have wrigglers,perents are moving them to the corner behind in take pipe.If any make it, it's a plus parent's are first timers as am i.

[swifto]

for got 50-75% fertilized not bad when u dont expect it.thank's marlon u are always helpfull.

[swifto]

i think while moving wrigglers they decided to eat them.cant c any in the corner.put it down to first time spawn/parenting.better luck next time.

[Discus Planetarium]

yep they will do this a few times before they get it right you should get them there own tank as i said in my post.if there is only one eating the fry you should take him or her out let the other do all the work

[swifto]
