Hi,
I've put some Amazon Swords on the aquarium. I'll try and get Cabomba. (to
keep my guppy fry alive)

By the way what's the difference between foxtail and Cabomba?

Also,
i'm just getting my cement pot ready.
It's quite big.

To be more specific it's the ring that is used in wells.(with my
modification)

Is it a good idea to put some angels in it??(to breed)

or sshould i put em in my aquarium and shift the guppies to the pot??

Warm Regards(i won't use chill cause it's summer)

Hi all,

a LFS (in the Hanumanthnagar locality) which I have been visiting for
quite sometime now has the following stocks.

The proprietor Mr.Vinay is a jolly guy and has agreed to extend a 10%
discount to the members of aquainfo. The modalities have to be worked
out. For those in a hurry, you may tell him that Siddharth sent you
across.

The fish that have arrived are:
Asciatics
Arowanas
Real good Balloon Mollies
Kuhli Loaches (7cm long)
All kinds of common cichlids
Indian Elephant Nose fish(thats what he called them!)
Sword tails
Oscars
Flowerhorns
Pepper Corys
Albino Corys
Large sized Veil tailed angels(1 pair is ready to spawn)
Koi carps (small and very large)

I do not stand any kind of guarantee to the quality of the stuff.
Just thought of informing our group members of the availability.

Rgds,
Naga

Hi Naga.
I have four aquariums setup at the moment.  Two at my father's house.  A seventy
gallon tank which has some lake Victoria cichlids and three plecostomus. The
other tank is a one hundred gallon containing five frontosa cichlids, six
leluepi cichlids and a few synodontis catfish, and one plecostomus.  My favorite
tank and I cannot even watch it daily.

At my home I have a fourty gallon tank with a pair of jack dempsey, a convict
cichlid, two kuhli loaches, some corydoras, some tiget barbs, a pair of
angelfish.  Most of the fish are still juvenile, but it is quite a meanagerie.
My other tank at home is a 55 gallon with more lake Victoria cichlids and some
Demasoni cichlids, a couple bushy nose plecostomus, some synodontis catfish. 
This tank needs work, I need more rockwork and caves for them to hideout in.  I
should seperate the female victoria cichslids, they lok like they are holding
eggs or babies.

Ok, that's my collection, who's next?

Mike

Mr. Rajesh,

R U from BANGALORE?  If so , you can collect from Ulsoor Lake Bund or
Yediyur Lake Bund.  These lakes are cleaned and  the clay removed.  If not,
you may collect it from the tile factories if they exit in your
surroundings.

Hi,

As it is, we are a fish loving , aquarium crazy group. We are NOT into business
, But definitely are most interested at reducing costs in the hobby.

As far as transactions of fish exchange and sale go on, it strictly has NOTHING
to do with the group.

Going thro' the mail archives should help you to gain an insight into the group.

cheers,
Naga

yes

Hi Naga

I was wondering if the group has met up in the New year yet.

Don't you think it will be wonderful to say hello and share a cup of
tea sometime.

What do you think?

Cheers

Vijay

Hi guys

Hope you are ALL well.

I would like to know if anyone in the group has been successful in
breeding cardinal tetras and puntius denisonii?

Please share your experience with these two fishes with regards to
breeding.

What live foods have been used for the fry?

And is there anyone in the group trying to line breed guppies?

Cheers
VIJAY

Welcome to the group Vijay!

Nice to know that we have a surgeon in our midst. If you could tell us as to
which city you stay in, we could help you get in touch with the local hobbyists.

Do feel free to ask your q's however silly they might seem. We are here  to
learn.

cheers,
Naga

Hello Rohan.

Raising the temperature and 2 minutes salt water bath should take care of
your problem.. You can also use the AZOO medicines for white spot.  It
should heel within three to four days.

Hey,

i've got a pair of sharks(catfish) and swordtails. With about four mollies in an
aquarium. One of the sword tails and the catfish have got freshwater
ich.(Ichthyopthirius multifiliis)

i'd like to know if the catfish with tolerate a rise in temperature. I also
intend to add a little aquarium salt but don't know if catfish will
tolerate.(The aqua FAQ says that a rise in temp to about 90 degrees Farenheit
will do the job)

I need your help people.

Regards
Rohan

Hi Rohan,

The new fish r as follows:
1) a pair of swordtails.
2) a pair of orange mollies
1+2 are compatible , but not with golds

3) a pair of blue Morphs
these are cichlids and are not community fish generally

4) a pair of catfish(What they usually call sharks)
these are safe to keep with golds, but guess your tank is too small.

Any idea apart from medicines????????????
Exchange these fish with other aquarists

The concoctions that I referred to were "ammolock" and "stress zyme"

cheers,
Naga
