Hey folks, It's been a while that I haven't been very active posting things on this site. Last Sunday was our local aquarium society's auction. Got some ...
... snip... Congrats on some nice new fish. Good luck with them. They are both interesting for their breeding habits. Yes, get another tank. Barbatus are the...
I think he means this is just a temporary tank in the hotel, in which case it should be fine unless barbatus males have a certain distaste for eachother? Tyler...
... snip.. Must have missed that part. But the males do compete for females, and the females are aggressive to the males when spawning. ===== I love it when a...
I musta missed that part, too, Les, and I'm the one that wrote it!! LOL I'm not in a hotel, nor did I plan to set something up temporarily. I'll just leave...
Greater Chicago Cichlid Association Tropical Fish and Equipment Swap Meet Sunday, Nov.16, 2003 10:00am to 3:00 pm (set up @ 9:00am) Holiday Inn Rolling Meadows...
Hey All. I'm looking to buy a group of panda or sterbai corys. I'd prefer to buy from someone in southern california since I live in So-Cal. Anyone raising...
Hi Scott There are some for sale on aquabid.com, also you can email this address. He sells them for $6 each plus shipping. I have 8 huge ones and they are...
Thanks for the referral, Bob. I may resort to shipping if I absolutely have to. I've just lost so many to shipping that I"d much prefer to get them locally...
Hi Scott I found if you make sure they don't use oxygen you get along better. I think it is when they go to the top and take pure oxygen it kills them. Bye Bob...
I have a "good problem." First, I'm new to your group, hello. I'm in Chicago. I've been preparing for the past year or so for a 65 gallon "Americas" tank...
Well, first off, welcome, Andy. This group has been in sleeper mode for a long time. (No reason that I know of, just has.) So, thank you for waking us all...
Sounds like a good plan. Moving them can disrupt them for a while until they get settled back in. But once they start spawning, they usually continue. ===== I...
Thank you. I did gather that I was very lucky in getting a spawning session. After reading the laborious description of a single breeding success in Baensch...
Here's a question for the group ... I have to confess I'm addicted to corydoras cats. At present, I have 9 different kinds. Well, 8, and aspidoras goia, but...
what type of substrate are you using? some corys can be more sensitive than others with that. as for the spawning, i'm honesrtly not sure. i've never heard of...
Worn barbels usually comes from too rough a substrate. If only females are present, they would still go through the 'herd instinct' of spawning if someone is...
Those and other corys are exactly what you want for mates. Pandas will spawn two ways. A few eggs daily, or one large spawn at a time. ===== I love it when a...
Barbel eroision can be a sigh of bacterial problems in the tank. Some corys are more sensitive, also. I had nine species in a tank, and only trilineatus had a ...
Re bacterial problems, I think that is very true. Probably you will also get to see some cases of fin rot if the barbels of the corys have eroded over time. I...
... <caninkor@s...> Also, on a different note, lately, my aspidoras have been spawning on a regular basis, but never any eggs that hatch. Out of 5 fish, I...
Yes, Marty, this works for me, too. And it's what I've been doing for these eggs as well, but still no luck. I'm wondering if it's not too cold for them to...
If they regenerate, they do it slowly. ===== I love it when a plan comes together __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Hotjobs: Enter the...
Don't miss GCCA'S WINTER AUCTION featuring hundreds of bags of cichlids and other tropical fish! Great fish, great prices and great fun! You DO NOT have to be...
The main way to tell you have males and females is to check them from above. The females will be wider and usually even in the aspidoras, a little bit bigger...
I have had this happen with my C. paleatus and C. aeneus albino's. Whent he females are ready, they are ready and will spawn with or without a male present. Of...
My pandas would spawn every 3 - 6 days. Usually all the same day. Their eggs are larger than C. paleatus and C. aeneus. I would average about 60 fry per spawn....
For us, we always remove the breeders and leave the fry for a couple days before moving them to grow out tanks. I have been doing this method since 1987. I...
I know I have been quite busy on this end so don't get to respond as often as I used to. But, I am still alive! (LOL) I have always bred my pandas with one...
