 I have 2 x 210L glass fish tanks (bow front) free to good home. just the tanks & lids - no stand or fittings.... just need to collect (Leeds area)...... Anyone interested....???  

Ha! ha!.... The Icemaker beats my pace...... produces faster than I can consume...... SO!.... one of these days I might even invite a friend to join.... Will have enough Ice for the 2 of us... but.... he/she'll have to bring their own scotch..... Not enough storage to share!!

Thank you everyone... it was a super day!!.... Daughter took us all to lunch at a restaurant.... Son took us to another one for dinner.... Got to bed way past midnight... and... I'm opening my Scotch liqueur very early in the morning to test the new Icemaker..... 

If they have been with a male during the preceding 2 or 3 months!!... Chances are that they WILL be pregnant!...... They deliver at approximately 28 day intervals.... and... at least 3 or 4 times after impregnation by  a male.....

If you want to try egg scatterers,,,...Zebra Danios and Black Widows are recommended for beginners......

Unfortunately.... if that was a spawning ritual.... nothing will come of it... as they are in a community with Kribs, BN's and Chromides..... Eggs.... if any... will probably be eaten as they are released.... I did not see any....

I just resigned to the fact that Clown loaches cannot be bred in captivity and have never seen any accounts of them being bred (successfully)...... BUT... they are so cheerful, friendly and nice to have fish... that in my 43 years of keeping fish... they have always just been part of my...

I know I have read somewhere that there is a discrepancy between which is the Pelmatochromis....and Pelvicachromis..... Some resources claims that they are all the same..... and Pelmatichromis should never have been labelled as different.....??.... Call it a Kribensis Pulcher then.....

I had those ponds in the Limpopo province Tc..... where worst case scenarios fell to minimums of 12 deg C (mid winter).... but averaged around 33 in summer... (up to 41)...... I moved to Kimberley about 8 months ago... where we do go into the minuses (in winter) and I have heat the ponds with...

As was previously mentioned..... ambient temperatures is vital in your decision to keep tropicals in outside ponds..... Here are a few of the fish I have kept in outside ponds.... and.... they flourished....... I have also done White Clouds and various species of Killifish.... I currently have...

I'm just wondering??.... What was wrong with the Reddsam entry of the beautifull Pearl Gouramie???..... Seemed legitimate to me??..... (why was it not included in the voting polls??)   #3 ReddSam Fish Fanatic Member 167 posts Gender:Male Location:United Kingdom Posted 18 July...

In order to keep them moist.... I did the following and had an almost 100% hatching rate..........

9 entries..... 10 to vote for??.....

That female has a long time to go.... (at least another 15 to 18 days)..... gives you enough time to get some hornwort floating plants rather than putting her in a breeder box.....

I have moved with fish a couple of times through the years and.... normally with around 20 .... to 40 tanks with each move and never less than about 10,000 fish each time..... I merely remove the ornaments and rocks......drain the water to about 3 or 4 inches depth..... and transport them that...

From being with a male,..... the Guppy female will remain pregnant (even if the male is removed) for up to around 5 deliveries....... of approximately 20 - 25 fry at approximately 26 - 28 day intervals... (depending on the water temperature) ...... Directly after delivery... the gravid spot take...

He! He!.... if I can get a foot in the door...... After all these years,...... I maintain!!!!..... Undergravel filters... that covers at least 1/3 of the floor area..... remains my favourite...... I have run tanks for 8 years plus.... exclussively on undergravel........

I once posted a classical photo on this forum..... of a Shrimp.... busy swallowing an adult (live) Platy..... and was severely reprimanded, (even as a mod on the forum) and sent to junk post immediately for posting such cruel material.... It did happen.... and... it does happen.... Shrimps do...

Ha! Ha!.... I assumed autocorrect.... "Defiantly" would've been a bit controversial.... I stick to my original statement!....

That looks much more Guppy than Platy.... Platy fry normally shows colour from birth... and.... they have shorter (and wider) tail section..... could be one giving birth atm..... watch out for more.....

Happy Birthday!!!!.... have a great day!!!

Welcome Galiffrey.... enjoy the site and show us some photos.....I also believe cw fish are highly underrated and deserves more credit.... such a variety available nowadays.....

May your love be as bright today as it was on your wedding day..... many, many more happy years together for you and Jenny..... Spoil each other on this day and allways...... 7 years!!!

See!!.... now you made me read back.... and... I'm glad I did..... I lost the link to that video of mine and now found it again... thanks Snazy....

Ha! Ha!..... Agent 13......or .....14??????.... who cares?.... Nice to see you..... Nice dragon..... and congrats!!!

Just put ém in there..... no problem.... It'll be benefit of the community.....

Don't quote me on this, but I often shoot from the hip and..... my personal opinion is that they only breed when wheather permits....... it HAS to be the correct outside barrometric pressures...... and it HAS to be the absolute water conditions and that has to coincide to perfection before they...

My entry Photo for August 2013......   .       my verification.....

Oh!... and I need to say thank you to especially Dr. Rob.... Lateral line... and the admin of this forum for their efforts in trying to get me back online by communicating with my (inefficient) service provider and all other IT techniques they applied from this side to resolve the situation...

I think the jump from breeding Guppies and other livebearers.... and even Angelfish is a huge jump into attempting to breed Pleccos..... unless you're talking about BN's.... My honest suggestion is to try to progressively build up to the more difficult species.... atm... Pleccos are out of...

I just love my Raphaeli catfish.... nocturnal, so had to chase him out for the Photo session....but... here we are..... My entry photo.... and ... my verification photo.....

Thanks for the welcomes..... enough familiar faces on here for me not to feel like a stranger.... I'm at home already..... Those I have not yet met.... I am from South Africa.... I breed tropicals and cold water fish.....(have bred approximately 40 different species)..... I have just retired...

I am not even going to do all the "Backreading" on this topic, BUT!!!!.... I am going to state categorically ..... Since 1995.... I started a culture of guppies from 2 males... and 5 females..... and... that specific beginnings led to more than 20,000 healthy.... an very hardy offspring in less...

He! He!,,..... I am the nasty facebook administrator.... but... don't let that put you off TallTree.. actually deepdown..... I'm a friendly old soul and a nice guy...( ) ..... I've just added your very own Dr. Rob as admin there as well.... (mainly to keep me on track when I get too much out of...

For many, many moons.... I could not access the forum from my current server and resigned to the fact that when my contract with them expires..... I will stop the contract and change to another server where I can get access ..... well..... just for kicks..... I tried again this afternoon...

See.... it's great to be 9 hours ahead of the USA..... gives me the opportunity to be first with the birthday wishes..... (and..... since my server does not allow me access to this forum..... I quickly "borrowed" my wife's mobile phone card for access.... just for this anouncement)......   HAPPY...

Happy Birthday ..... have a wonderful day!!!

Specify what fish you have to breed.... and what fish you intend to breed....... The spectrum is wide and hard to generalise.....

It appears that my access to TFF was blocked by some unknown error on my service provider..... I swopped for my wife's mobile simcard (which is from a different service provider) in my modem.... and whalla..... suddenly I have access again....   Nice to be here again and looking forward to...

Mr.Fry.... she is still pregnant and will deliver her next batch of fry in approximately 27 days.... keep an eye on her and post another picture in about 25 days from now..... In the meantime.... see if you can get some floating or bushy plants for the fry to hide in.... it is (never) a good...
