    Hello I'm New Here

    If it is not so....it should be so.... we get members joining just to sell their wares & then never hear from them again..... At least with a number of posts behing their name, they indicate that they are serious to stay.

    Hello I'm New Here

    We have a number of Canadians on here (Rummynose comes to mind immediately) but the majority of our members are from the UK and USA..... which is also why the forum is so quiet at this time of day.... (well it is 6h45am here in South Africa).... but most of the members are still sleeping.

    Supermarket Selling Instant Fish......

    Guentheri would've been my 2nd guess..... They did not specify what I should expect in the box (other than "Magic Fish").... That is an Apple snail in the background Blubble and they are now in a 24"tank.....

    Angels are relatively easy to keep and breed.... rearing the fry is more difficult... some parents will eat the fry, others not. You'll have to monitor closely to see and then decide to hatch the eggs seperately if it looks like the fry are threatened.... It is better to get established breeding...

    Guppies are natural breeders..... all you need is 2 males and 6 females and plenty of hornwort floating plants.....Females will deliver fry (between 20 and 45) every 26/28 days.... the first batch will probably be eaten and you'll have 5 to 7 survivors... the 2nd batch will yield more survivors...

    Supermarket Selling Instant Fish......

    The biggest one (of the 5) is beginning to take shape and showing some colour..... At an early guess, I'd say it is a Rachovii of some description... The smallest one is being chased by him, so I hope enough retreat area is provided..... they are now in a 2ft tank filled to 50%.

    He really did make a big dent into my stocks, but since I have no market for the fish and can produce another 2,000 at a weeks' notice..... He was (kind've) welcome to them....(up to a point of course)..... I currently have some 1,500 fry in the fishroom which are ready to be transferred outside...

    Shame!... I Feel So Bad For Him.....but!?

    He's had his fair share of easy fish.... just about 1,000m from my house there are about 7 dams with lots of natural nutrition for him to feast on.... less decorated though, (reds and pinks) but still taste the same... and slightly more difficult to get at..... Let him earn his keep...
