Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to post your experiences. I'm not breeding at the moment. I'm to busy. Ive put in a large rain water tank recently and will go back to breeding with regular changes...

Hi Gang,

I've found the Kusuri to be great. I have a 1000lt Discus display with the usual clean up crew, Cardinal and Rummy Nose Tetras, various Cories, breeding pairs of Bristle nose with about...

Hi ddr,

Livingfish78 can sort you out. He's helped me out big time,

Cheers

Looking absolutely fantastic! : )

Hi Jim,
They get along fine. Pretty much keep to themselves. They are a good addition to a clean up crew. I have Cardinal Tetras and Rummy Nose Tetras also for the mid water, fine food clean up....

Hi,

Not sure what happened there re the double post?

Cheers

Hi Shaka,

I've got a lot of crypts in mine amongst other plants. I have a fine natural brown gravel. Just a tip if you go down the gravel path that most cities have an industrial mineral supplier....

Hi all,

I recently had a favourite female damage an eye and start losing condition fast as not feeding well. Moved her to another tank with her partner as was barely swimming after a while and...

Hi Lawrence,

Great pics, I always enjoy reading. Best of luck with round four. Any details to share on what happened with the third batch?

Cheers

Hi,

The "shimy" is a great sign that that fish is most likely getting interested. Keep things stable, try to keep your change water as close to your tank water as you can ph wise etc, don't fuss...

Hi Leah,
Very cool. Pics would be great if you have any. How did they turn out?

Cheers

Hi Livingfish78,
all looking great as always mate! Maybe you can share a bit of the tanks care regime as the plants look very healthy. Co2 or not? Ferts added etc?
Cheers

Hi,

Congrats! : )

That's a great pic of the fry,

Cheers

Hi,

Another treatment for you to consider. There's a brand of products out there called "Huey Hung". There are various treatments etc. Its great stuff. If your fish are still eating, thaw a pack...

Hi,

I use it regularly with the fish you mentioned in the same tank. Never a problem. I had an outbreak of snails that were introduced with some plants. The best thing about the Kusuri is it...

Hi,

Yeah, I imagine the live daphnia or similar would be labour intensive.

The fry only lasted the week as didn't transfer to the first time parents. They have been previously laying...

Hi,

I looked into Daphnia also for when feeding from quarter inch to three inch discus young. Found this very informative article from Gwynbrook Farm Discus Hatchery.

Hi,

I set up a green water drip today. Its a litre container over the tank with a simple airline as a hose and a cheap plastic airline tap to regulate the drip feed. Its set at a drip about every...

Hi gang,

recently I learnt about feeding "Green Water" or phytoplankton when raising some Royal Whiptail Catfish in their very early stages. I have some free swimming discus fry as of today that...

Hi,

I agree the Forrest shipments had some great fish. Good to hear they are continuing. I see that Aquatic Escape has a facebook page, but unfortunately no pics up. I often drool over some of the...

Hi gang,
I've not been around much lately. Relocated etc and just getting back into breeding. I thought I'd just add to this thread something that I realise now I was doing wrong.
I was using...

Hi Leandro,

Eheim brand cannister filters are the best in my opinion. My rule of thumb is to filter the volume at least twice an hour as a minimum. By that I mean if you have a volume of 360lts...

Hi Canadian Kiwi,

One other thing to think about is that females will sometimes pair up, one lays eggs and the other will go through the motions of fertilizing them. Of course they are not...
