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...
the michigan cichlid association is holding their winter auction saturday january 31, 2004. cichlids only at this auction. registration is from 9-10:30am,...
The Champaign Area Fish Exchange will hold its Winter Auction on , Saturday January 17th, 2004 at the Urbana Civic Center 108 Water Street, Urbana, IL. The...
Hey everyone, Just a reminder that our huge winter auction is coming up on Saturday, February 7th, 2004 at the Strongsville Holiday Inn Select located at the...
Are there any fish species from the Americas that will devour snails like a loach? I've got an "Amazon" tank and I'd like to keep all the plant and animal...
Hey Andy, You're in luck because just about all of the raphael or talking cats will eat snails...they just need to get em in their mouth to crush them. They're...
Tyler, thanks. I read up on Platydorus costatus upon your suggestion. Unfortunately every comment about it, while adored as an entertaining community fish,...
Welcome Andy, but just so you know I wasn't only suggesting them for snail control.. as all Doradids love em. I did look up a couple common species and found...
And thanks again. I wondered about those two, and since I haven't been thinking beyond corys I never noticed them at the stores. Sounds perfect. I began...
I have kept the regular raphael, the long nosed, the spotted, the chocolate, and three other less common types. I never had a problem with them seing other ...
And thanks to you I took a look at some at the store today. They look good. I think that's about as big as I ever would want a fish to be in this tank. How...
I made a webpage for these so it doesn't take up your bandwidth and with a question about whether or not anyone knows what this growth is. That way, I can look...
