You are saying if I were to remove the baby cichlids, it should be done with the parents or at least the female then. In a community tank they do not survive and it is the feeding. I havent found a way how to feed them without attracting the swarm of rummynose/ember tetras and in the swarm the...

Is it doable to keep fry of multiple species in one grow out tank? I have a cube, 40x40x40 cm, plants, leaves, surface plants, gentle flow, heater I manage to have mountain minnows breed there, the eggs just hatched, I can see them on the top, near the surface plants. In another tank I also...

Hi guys I have few tanks where I am having issues with raising fry. I have some clown killifish fry that I saw in my vast hornwort/frogbit and some pseudomugil luminatus fry in my luminatus tank which also has hornwort and pennywort and naias on the surface. When I notice the fry I start feeding...

I am trying, continually removing snails, but hey, something survived, so a good start :)

I just spotted one baby fry! Hidden in the surface hornwort. I know this is just the beginning, but yay I removed some of the ramshorns, but not all and it seems it sort of works

Since I have the topic here anyway, let me ask: breeding I target bred the minnows in another tank and the fry joined the parents. I would still like to attempt to breed the minnows in this tank however. I did some redesign and the whole back of the tank is moss. Like 20 cm high 5 cm thick moss...

The natural strain is lovely, different colorations of the finage and they fit in with the others well

Yes it would take ramshorns, smash them against the glass violently and eat them... Scared me a bit :) when it was nervous it would hang under surface plants but otherwise it would hang in a cave!! Swim under the moss on the ground! Not a top dweller at all. I set up an 80 l tank for it with...

I removed the fish from the tank, it didnt enjoy the flow and while it was not really aggressive all the time, during feeding it would be very wild. It started to chase other fish from the food and up to the point of coiling and slapping around. The fish never hurt any other fish nor would it...

Some new pictures of the tank in the sun and the indostomus, also in the sun, though they do not want to hang out where I could photograph. Ofcourse the sun causes a bit of hair algae, but that is ok, it is worth the boost the plants get. After moving the tank and using the no planaria, the...

I have cover on 5 out of my 6 tanks mostly due to the fish/humidity, but also, because of dog hair. The sixth tank I didnt want a cover, cause of light that is too far above, and behold, saw the dog drinking from it once or twice. Would not recommend! I usually go to local glass shop and ask...

In the back, on the sides, all the way from the bottom almost to the surface Never had a tank where moss is so algae less and in half a year grew from a tennis ball size to half a tank size :) and i cut it twice!! Thanks for the other replies, I will consider the regular ones

I have removed the faunus ater and will most likely need to remove the ramshorns, but that is a job for later For now some pictures. They move a lot so hard to focus

Has anyone kept both strains, the goldens and the regulars, in one tank ? I wonder if they behave as one school or not, as that would affect my decision. I would like to add a splash of color, to break the tank a bit from the goldens, but I am not sure if second schooling species should be kept...

I have three now and i didn't know the appropriate volume so one is two liter one is one and a half and the last is just a liter. I should start a new one every week? And when should I discard the previous one? What is the lowest recommended volume, i do not have that many fish to feed this to...

Thank you. It is a lab culture I put in fresh/boiled/tank water ( three test containers, my first culture) and I feed it with yeast mixed in water with sugar (for bioencapsulation, if I understood the term correctly). I will test the water for ammonia and pH, for now it is still very clear, I...

Thank you. Question about feeding paramecium. I am growing cultures and I see the clown killifish in constant chasing, breeding behavior, so I expect there may be some fry at some 2 week point forward. When do I start feeding the tank paramecium? Given the density of surface plants there is zero...

No cyanobacteria, just poor light, led light and oak leaves. I have faunus after there for cleanup, as he is too heavy to climb to surface and moss to eat eggs. If they spawn regularly they should be able to produce enough eggs to best even the ramshorrns that are in the tank. I would love to...

Finally, after months of waiting for the fish to grow up at the sellers, they are home. For you it may be no big deal as they must be available everywhere in the US, for me, nt even glasser imports them regularly, so one local breeder doing killifish and having these? A miracle. I have three...

I found a lid for the box, so hopefully jumping adult problem solved Question for the future, if I manage to keep this fry alive, how long can I "torture" it in the one liter box and how large it has to be before it can safely join the adults...
