Shrimp are awesome. Have you moved any plants from tank to tank? I would think they might have been baby shrimp that hitch hiked over. Shrimp are my new thing I can't get enouh I can watch them for a long time I love looking for them it's like find Woldoe.

Since you would starting with young fish I do t think it matters much if you add them first or after. But if you really want to breed them and get fry you will want the pair in their own tank with no other fish. A pair of angles don't act like angles. They get mean.

Those native shrimp are awesome. You are lucky you can get those shrimp.

The fry are still alive and well. I need to do a wc. It will be amazing if a fry makes it. I hope I get one to keep. I put a sponge on the filter intake so that will not be a danger. So far the other discus Are giving them space. Fingers crossed I get to see fry feeding off parents.

How many discus do you have? They will always do little chase here and there things will get bette. But they are cichlids and they work out the a pecking order bu the order will hange and the pecking does not end just gets less. My discus are not shy they come right up to me they eat from my...

Root tabs will help crypt a lot.

Nice video. It is so fun to watch fish raise a family. I have discus that just had wigglers. They do the same thing. I had an angle pair. What I loved was the mom would collect all fry once free swimming and put them to bed. Too cool.

Buy or get a proven pair or start with 6. When fish pick their mate things go smoother IME.

Yup. They have to fight a little before they start a family. That's the cichlid way. They might even turn on each other after they spawn or they will work together. It depends on the fish. Courting can last for a few days then they spawn.

I have just got into keeping shrimp I am in love. Shrimp are so neat and pretty easy to breed. Here is one of my cherry shrimp I got this sunkist shrimp as a hitch hiker on a plant. I was very happy. Here is a baby black crystal shrimp they are my breeding project. I need to wait till...

Yeah get different snails. I have rams horn snails they are great. They don't eat plants they keep my plants looking good they clean them for me. I love rams horn snails they are small come in different colors and don't get out of control. Another good point that was brought up was how healthy...

You never know 1 or 2 fry could turn out nice but most would not. We will see if I get them to free swimming sage. Take mates are other discus, cory cats, sae, clown Pleco. So maybe the parents can raise a few fry.

I would not sell these fry they would be poor quality fish total mutts. The mom has a chip eye she is the lowest of the low quality. The dad is not bad but not a pure pigeon he has ok shape. If we're going to raise some I would be just so I could see what this mix would look like. If any make...

Here are my proud parent fish moving the fry. This new big branch I added to the tank really put them in the mood. Link to video. http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj223/pepy311/660b8092.mp4

My pigon blood discus has been really horny lately. He has spawned before but the eggs never made it they always eat them. This time my pigeon spawned with my ugly brown snakeskin mutt female. The eggs hatched I have tiny wigglers. I have had these discus a year now. I never got wigglers. It's...

One of mine is pretty big 1 inch. the others are so cute and little. I have them with cherry shrimp and hope they don't get too big and eat too many baby shrimp.

I have these awesome little Cory cats in a 20 gal long with other tiny things RCS, galaxy danio, 2 Otto, pair or sparkling gourami. This is one of my favorite tanks to watch. Here are some photos. Anyone have these guys? No sand to dig in here but there is lots of HC to play in.

Well today the male is not being mean he is courting the female. She is not always hiding any more.

Yes it's normal. Most snails have a kind of air bladed that needs to be filled every now and then.

I think the shrimp with red spots is a young male cherry shrimp. Low grade cherry red shrimp are not always solid red and males tend to be not as red. Very nice photos . I love my shrimp they are my new thing.

It's been along time. The summer was time to play mountain bike everyday and work. I got a new pup and have been busy. I also got bored with the hobby. I have all my same cichlids some since 2009. I started to get into smaller planted tank and shrimp. I still have my true parrot and I don't...

SA the fish from the amazon and rain forest areas are amazing. If I some day retire and move to centers American I will have native fish. But till then SA.

Thanks he is my baby. Got him when he was 2" now he is 8". He is my all time favorite fish and the only one I could never let go. I got him sep of 2009. Watch out severums will steal your heart or maybe it's just me.

It's been a long time since I have been on. But I think you made a good choice. Chocolates are very cool big fish. There is one at my LSF but my Big tanks are full.

No one? Well I think I am going to move mom out let dad stay and see if the eggs hatch if not I will move dad with mom in my tiny 20gal community. I think i will look for another female too. Then breed shrimp in the 5 gal. I don't want to have to mess with fry too much work.

I go to check on my pair they are in a 5 gal tank with no other fish. I could not find the female and the male was hiding out. I look closely and find the male is guarding a bubble nest. The female is hiding behind the filter the male is chasing her if she comes out. I don't know if they...

I am back and with tiny fish.

This is my male See the worm like markings. Females don't get any face markings or very little.

Yeah I think it was more fun for her to see the flakes fall in the tank. I was getting worried the fish in this tank where getting enough food.

We caught her in the act so the food was not in there long. Yes I have to hide the food some place high or lock it up.

About 2 hr after I did a big wc I had to do another. My 3 year old loves to feed things. She feeds the dogs and now my fish. :crazy: :angry: :shout: :grr: :angry: Cleaning the mess

Well for me redoing the tanks today helped. My tanks look great so clean. I found a nice new big branch for the discus tank and took out the big chunks. The branch needs to get water logged then I will rearrange a bit more. But that little remodel was much needed. I am setting up my 20gal long...

Awesome thank now I am 100% sure I have a pair. They are lots of fun.

Well I got a pair of sparkeling gouramis male and female. I am. Dry excited about them. They are a fish I have wanted for a long time. They are in a 5 gal planted tank and doing great. I am going to put a sponge filter in just in case I get eggs. I am getting ready to take down my planted...

I got some photos. I am 99% sure I have a male and female I got lucky. I have some bright light in the tank and I can clearly see eggs in the female where the male has nothing. Also these is a slight differance in pattern. The male has very nice dots the females dots kind of blend together. You...

Well I lost my betts, mr sexy. he was 4 or 5 years old. He was in a 5 gal by him self. I was going to turn that tank into a shrimp tank but I get 2 sparkling gouramis instead. The tank has a branch covered in moss that's branches are at all leaves of the tank. There are a few other plants in...

Yes I still have my little bockhead male still. My tanks are full and I am bored but I still like the fish I have a lot. I did get into nano takes. I have a 10 gal planted tank and a 5 gal planted tank that will be a shrimp only tank. Shrimp are so cool I have a few now. I have a 20gal long...

I have been keeping fish on and off for like 12 years. I have had my fish now for 2-4 years. It's been almost a year since I got any new fish. I'm bord with my tank. I dont clean them like I use to. I'm happy with my stock but bored. I can't get rid of them because my fish are my pets and I care...

I have a well planted 5 gal and a 10gal planted with 6 galaxy danios and ottos. Could I keep steel blue killi pair in a 5 gal with no other fish? Or should I put them in the 10gal?

Do it
