is that the corydoras bondi? black stripe cory

Yes that's the one! They have them in at the LFS I get my cories from. They are beautiful but no doubt too big for my tank :(

Sorry guys I am back!  FM1978-my little ones 4, if she was still in nappies there would be a problem! I had to go to the post office to pick up my parcel I missed and of course there's nowhere to park so had to walk! I was laughing at the notifications whilst walking back!   Here is mine-look at...

dwarf gourami!

I used to have all females and just a few males too. The last batch however only had 2 females and the rest males. The only thing I did different was turned the temp down, it was 28 I lowered it to 24, I have very soft water PH of 6.4. I don't know if temperature or water softness has anything...

Lol! we may need to wait a few more hours!

Morning game players!   dreamer - That is a very informative answer!

Yes same time here lol. I will post mine tomorrow morning :)

Is it a burbot? scientific name lota lota

Devils hole pupfish - cyprinodon diabolis Lol I did that one on one of my turns-the only way I recognised the pic!

  Ah didn't know if it was a loach or a catfish! Thanks

Can you make the pic bigger? I can't see it's mouth.

I think 10 is a bit much since they need swimming space Saying that, I have a 64L fry tank with 1 male guppy, 1 male endler and 5 male fry. I rehomed all my females but found 6 newborn fry, I will be at max with all of them!

Thank goodness for that lol. 

haha! I have no clue what it is! 

Scarlet cactus pleco, L25 isn't it beautiful! MBOU wins! Your go!

Aww! What just happened? Do we have 2 on the go? :p    I have an easy one, since we are playing in wills absence   Absolutely gorgeous-again too big for my tank *cries*

ah is it formosae instead?

Rubber lipped pleco - chaetostoma milesi?

I hadn't noticed before, but the fry actually have half orange and half black pectoral fins! You can just about make it out on the pics. I hope they stay that way! Very unusual, never had any with orange in them before. 

Yeah, wake up and mail on my phone is into 3 figures! Love this game!  Patiently waiting for someone to take their turn...

Must just be this heat hahaha! On that note, the rest of the week is meant to be raining. We quickly forget the beautiful sunshine we've been getting with just 1 rainy day!

Are you having a thunder storm too? It's so refreshing, just want to run out into the rain and get soaked without looking like a maniac! What did I say about us turning out fine...:p

I'm back! Looks like I didn't miss much lol. 

Thanks guys, he was stable then took another turn, was on the drip for dehydration but is back to normal now. I am going back through tomorrow. The heat in edinburgh was a nightmare, i'm in central scotland, I came back over and was like it's not even hot lol.  Oh they are only kids, we didn't...

Lol lets hope so!

I am in the process of bathing the little one and bidding on something on ebay! Will be back shortly!

I didn't even think about breeding, first spawn was when I lowered my temp for my platies. 2nd spawn I had been away to my parents for the week and came back on friday to eggs everywhere. The tank lights had been left off because of the heatwave the temp managed to stay at 24. Now that I want...

I didn't promise them anything, it's like with any fry, you don't know how many will survive until adulthood. They were just friends who said oh I will take some then they tell someone else then they want some then word spreads lol. 

  I had 4 people wanting groups of 6 each. Nevermind. 

good 1!

It's ok, always me. The 5 I have who are 3 weeks old, had a similar disaster. The fry trap tipped and I didn't notice. 5 left out of about 40 - keeps it manageable I suppose :/

It's not a barb is it? hahahahaha!

No it's a melon barb - puntius fasciatus I think lol

Is that a banded barb?

I got the fright of my life when I moved a rock in the main tank-about 3 or 4 little fry darted out! That will have been the eggs I dropped whilst removing them. They could be hiding if any got away, I wish at times like these I had white substrate not black in my fry tank so I could spot them...

I will give it to you lillefishy, it is indeed the mighty L264 sultan plec. So pretty :)

Do you know the number for bonus points? :p

That's what I was thinking too. The trap itself was hooked onto the top of the filter and the other end hooked onto the thermometer. I looked this morning and thought it was tilting, the filters low so the water level could have been the same as the trap. I don't know but all of them? :(

It's lovely! I can never remember the various catfish, the LFS my friend added me to, hold auctions with loads of different catfish and plecs I remember seeing one similar!   Here is mine, I had to turn this beauty down as it would get too big for my tank :(
