First of all: I would like to thank all of you for a nice weekend. I really enjoyed it, meet a lot of people, and the lectures was very good as well....
I just wanted to say hello as it's my first post to the group and a BIG THANK YOU! I only managed to make the auction on Sunday (missed some of the fish that I...
Hi all, Thought I would take the opportunity to share my views on the auction lots..... I thought the auction on the whole went really well. 10/10 for ...
Hi all, After sharing my views on how the auction went for me, I also wanted to share some views overall.... The event overall was superb. Well done to...
Hi John Your Limia perugiae from Haiti (location: Eting Bois Neuf - I think it`s some kind of french..) is from me...:-) I´m glad, you`re pleased with them.. ...
Hi Thue, Thank you (I had forgot your name - but remember your face!) Some questions - 1. How often do the females have fry? 2. Do they eat their fry? 3. How...
Hi John I´ll try to answer your quwstions. 1. Every 4-6 week. If you have them a little colder some time (for examble 2 or 3 months), they will have a break -...
Thanks Thue I really like them - they look to be a young pair so am hoping the male grows/colours up in time A couple of other questions... How long do the...
Hello John They live more like 3 than 1 year, maybee even 4 years sometimes. I think that bigger fish often lives longer, and these Limia are`nt small. In the...
... Could someone check out the links page in the guppy section of the site. I'm showing no problem but a member is having persistent problems in the page not...
Tim, The code for some of the images isn't right, and is references your computer (apparently a Windows PC). So, for example, one of the failing images is...
... What about a section for goodeids as well, then? In my opinion it`s some of the most interesting livebearers - with there very advanced birth-biology..:-) ...
Thue, I agree! If we're getting serious about livebearers, there should be someone working on coelacanths as well! But as a general suggestion Tim, I think the...
Hi, I have been keeping 1 male and 2 females of Poeciliopsis prolifica alone in a small 15 lt tank for 6 months. The problem is that they appear not to be...
Hi. I'd never heard of "endlers" until this year. How long have they been around ? What defining features seprarate endlers from "normal" guppies ? cheers ...
They were considered a separate species until fairly recently when it was decided (not sure by who) that they were just a type location of guppy. They are (or...
Its a little bit more complicated. Just now one scientist tries to make a description of endlers as a species for it self. I know that for sure. According to...
in an article regarding endlers i TFH sometime in 2004-2005,they found 17 different locations containing endlers, all with different coloration/markings. ...
I kept this fish in a 30 Gallon Long tank(120Liter?) and they were so prolific, I quickly got tired of them. A friend of mine got some of the fish from me,...
Do you want to re-use the water collected for water changes? ... From: BritishLivebearer@yahoogroups.com [mailto:BritishLivebearer@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
Seems like my information is a bit out of date! I would say (not that I'm an expert) that they should be a sub-species. They are certainly similar, but too...
Thank you Doran, I have to convince myself not to keep any small fishes in tanks this small then even if dealing with pairs or trios of such small fishes. In...
Hello, A few days I contributed to a thread on this topic at Tropical Fish Forums, and rather than write it all out again, I paste my comments below. I'm not...
Thank you, Neale, for your very fine statement. You are right about lumpers and splitters - and you have exactly that discussion about Endlers. To day it is a...
Wow. This is a pretty hot topic. thankyou to all for the respective comments. I was once taught that the following definition of a species: "where two separate...
It is very diffucult to define a species. Thats for sure. I quote: "where two separate breeding populations of one species become so genetically "separated"...
Regarding the price of fish, many shops only stock those that are easy to keep for a considerable time in small crowded tanks with tap water, which Discus...
