Getting my wild caught imbellis pair, wild caught smaragdina pair and copper smaragdina pair on the 16th. I'll keep everyone updated.

  I see, I'll contact the owner of Macrostoma.net and ask what the setup he used in that vid to artificially hatch the eggs out. Good news is my pair already courting again. I really like the breeding colours and full flare on male Macs, during courtship. Now that my male's fins have healed...

Bad news again, my male ended up swallowing again. Going to give him one more shot, but if he swallows again, I'll start using egg tumblers.

Nice Aphyosemion.bivitattu. Most of my N.korthausae Mafia Island fry are still pale, possibly all females. I have 1 male N.guentheri fry out of my 10, Think it might have to do with my water, it's pretty soft here.

Just wanted to start this thread, to let everyone know some of the killies species that I'm currently raising. At the moment I have: 20 Aphanius.mento Zengen fry 7 Austrolebias.nigripinnis fry 27 Hypsolebias.fulminantus eggs 10 Nothobranchius.guentheri red fry 17 Nothobranchius.korthausae Mafia...

Been a while since I updated this thread as well, any how I'm getting some new wild bubble nester pairs on June 2nd. I'll be getting 1 wild caught imbellis pair, 1 wild caught smaragdina pair and 1 copper smaragdina pair.   Here's a pics of the male wild imbellis I'm getting:   I'll post the...

Good news everyone, I woke up this morning to quite a surprise, my male mac is holding again! Guess they must have bred sometime last night and the brood looks bigger than last time. The male's head is starting to point downwards slightly, from the weight if the eggs haha! I relocated the female...

  Just splendens including wild splendens need to be separated, but tolerance of tank cohabitants does vary between wild bettas as well. The majority of the time, wilds are quite docile towards each other, but I have noticed B.mahachaiensis tend to be slightly more aggressive (compared to...

Will do, I'm going try a different method this time, if that doesn't work I have a couple of small egg tumblers on hand (they're the last resort though). The first time around, I moved the female to a separate tank and stopped feeding the male (for obvious reasons haha), as to the breeding...

Yes, as with the majority of wild bettas. Betta.macrostoma are a wild mouth brooding betta species. Females of the species are usually dominant and are the ones which initiate breeding, which is why the male is so tattered up in those pics.  Since introducing them to my tank,it seems the roles...

Thanks, also yes. They've actually already bred for me 2 week ago, but the male didn't hold the eggs for the full incubation period. They're starting to court again, hopefully the male doesn't swallow this time Thanks, also yes, his fins have healed back. The male's colours have also gotten...

There are a numerous ways to lower your PH, but does your water come out of the tap that high? Usually when you setup a new tank, it's expected that the parameters willing be fluctuating. How long has your tank been running and what type of substrate/decor do you currently have in your tank? You...

Hey everyone,   It's been a very long time, since I last posted anything or even been on the forum. I've been just really busy with college and work related stuff, but I just wanted to pop my head back in and say hello What's even better is; I have finally had the pleasure of acquiring a young...

Thanks, in 2 weeks I'll be getting my hands on some truely stunning species of Ts, will keep everyone updated :) Thanks, I really appreciate that :) Wish I had a better camera though, all the pics so far were taken with just my cellphone haha. Tarantulas are definitely quite interesting and...

Here are the update pics for my newly molted Costa Rican tiger rump (C.fasciatum). The legs weren't fully spread out, so I couldn't get a exact measurement on how much bigger it grew, but I'm pretty sure you guys can guestimate lol. Sized up beside a Canadian dollar (which is the same size as 2...

Here's pics of my freshly molted cobalt blue (H.lividum) sling, molted yesterday afternoon. Doubled in size when I first received it, went from 1/2" to 1". Blue colouration is still very hard to see, unless you use a flashlight from above while looking from under (shows through as a grey-ish...

Here's an update pick of my G.pulchripes, that molted on Monday earlier this week.

Here's some pics I took of my molted giant blonde sling, it finally came out it's tunnel system. It's the larger one of my two. Molted early yesterday, doubled in size and went from a tan colour to black and it's blonde hairs are starting to show. On another note, my molted Chaco sling is...

Here's the pics of my newly molted versi sling. Not quite sure when he molted today, but I'm guessing it was early in the morning, because it had finished by the time my G.pulchripes started. It's metallic blue colouration is starting to become really stunning. My camera doesn't do justice for...

Haven't posted here on TFF, since I was I'm vacation with my family this summer, aswell as being busy with my new college program starting soon. Anyhow, just a quick update. All my slings (with the exception of the tiger rump and orange baboon) have molted earlier today. Here's the time lapse...

My orange baboon sling and versicolor sling feeding - OBT quick and clean, thought it would be more of a aggressive feeder. Versi savagely feasting on a cricket.

That's a pretty cool story. My first time getting a T, was a surprise present from my parents when I was a kid. Scared the crap out of me, it also helped me get over my fears of spiders, because the T bit me lol.

I did get it, but it was DOA. I informed the supplier and they gave me a store credit for the scorpling. Right now they're out of stock of Asian forest scorpions, so I'll wait until they come back in stock. They do have red/rust bark scorpions, but I'm more interested in getting a Israeli gold...

Room heater, heated to 82/30 degrees.

I'll try to get some pics of my fishroom when I can. As for what I'm trying to breed at the moment, right now I'm focusing on super reds, golds, yellow dragons, red dragons and platinums. The copper (silver) isn't a complete copper as shown in the pic though. Upon inspection, the caudal is...

Here's 2 pics I got of the cobalt blue (H.lividum) sling and OBT (P.murinus) coming out of their burrows. The cobalt blue moved from the side burrow to the middle one. H.lividum sling, out side of center burrow P.murinus sling, peeping out of the entrance. You can see the orange hairs...

Oh no it's not that type of situation here. The suppier has always had the support of the fellow arachnid community from it's beginnings to now. So once in a while they send one or two freebies as a thank you for the continuous support. They even provide you with the enclosure to house the...

Here's some pics of my new slings, just unboxed, got another free blonde sling too (N.tripepii). Upon opening the box, I got blasted in the face with hot air, which made me worry about the status of the slings. After digging through the packing and cool pack (at this point, it could have been...

Here are the new tarantula slings, I'm getting on Tuesday: 1x Avicularia.versicolor (Antilles pink toe tarantula, Arboreal T) 1x Haploplema.lividum (Cobalt blue tarantula, Terrestrial T) 1x Pterinochilus.murinus (Orange baboon tarantula, Terrestrial T) I'll keep everyone updated.

I'll try to get some, when I can. Here's one of my new breeder male super red HMPK, though.

Here's some pics of my tiger rump's recent molt from yesterday afternoon. I apologize if the pics are too large, I was uploading via mobile.

Been a while, since I last posted here, much to do with work, school related stuff and the storm 2 days ago (here in the Toronto/GTA area, which caused severe flooding and major blackouts). Well I actually have a few updates: 1. My female Phidippus.audax (Bold/Daring jumping spider) laid her...

20% water changes every other day, sounds like a too often. Although puffers are sensitive to nitrates, 20% once a week sound be ideal. If he's not eating you may want to check him for IPs (internal parasites), if he's infected he'll look slim. Pea puffers are a bit shy, so just try feeding...

I'm currently raising a gold dragon HMPK batch and a super black x red black dragon HMPK batch. There's actually two red females

Additions to the July shipment, landing on the 16th. Male red and pink HMPK Female super red HMPKs #1 #2 Male silver (copper morph) dumbo gene HMPK

There's a few here and there, I've been asked to help pickout some bettas at my LFS, before. I often get inquiries from local classifieds and individuals who have bought some of my spawns before. Not at the moment, maybe once I get a few more spawns going. I'll keep you updated though.

I'm originally from Toronto, but when I was 5 I lived with my aunt and uncle in Montreal for a year. In 2005 I moved to Mississauga, where I currently live.

It depends, most bettas sell for $17-$20, then shipping here is another $10 CAD. So $27-$30 in total is the average I usually pay for 1 betta.

Stay tuned everyone, 20+ bettas landing in this month's shipment. I should just breed all my bettas and open a store in the next 3 years LOL!

Sorry about that, here's some pics of the little guy. Boxed him to get some pics, he wouldn't stay still lol. You can make out the red spots circled with black rings, across the back half on the puffer. (Pics taken before I fed him) I've posted him up for id on a puffer dedicated site and was...
