breeding

Hello world! I've been watching my Honduran Red Points fish do some stuff recently that I thought some of you might find interesting, so here goes -- My largest female, Zinnia, and my largest male, Rhaegar, successfully spawned about three months back. As soon as fry were free swimming, dad...

So I have been in the Aquarium hobby for a while now and I recently got my first Betta fish and put him in a heavily planted 5.5-gallon tank. I have done a lot of research on Bettas and I have no problem looking after mine but I have noticed my betta has been building bubble nests lately and is...

My female angel just laid eggs again, but the male is doing nothing! He's just watching, hanging out in the top corner of the tank. A bit over a week ago they spawned in the community tank and he fertilized them just fine. Now they're in a breeding tank, and his spawning tube isn't even out. Is...

I got my first angelfish about a week ago and they've been laying eggs today! However this is a community tank and I have a lot of hungry fish that would want to eat their eggs. I can set up a 100l tank with water and filter media from the big aquarium. I really don't want to disrupt it all tho...

Hello everyone, Firstly I apologise for any mistakes I make whilst posting to this forum as this is my first ever post. I am wondering if anyone could help me by informing me if the any of the two mollies of which i have included pictures are pregnant. I am also new to breeding and therefore...

Would it be possible to breed daphnia, cyclops etc in the aquarium tank itself? That they could breed and live there and be eaten sporadically by the fish? Anyone tried this before? I have no experience with these critters, so excuse me if this is a stupid question.

As the title says, I want to know what I’m supposed to do if my Bettas accidentally bred? A male of mine has built a large bubble nest between an object and the wall of my pond. I don’t know what to do... On a side note, one of my croaking gouramis has also built a bubble nest in a sheltered...

Hello all. After a disease outbreak in my 7 gallon breeder tank, my flagfish were dead (keep in mind THEY came from my LFS.) and I was in the market for some new fish. My local petsmart is always pretty reliable in terms of high quality "healthy" fish, so I brought home a beautiful bright orange...

Like title states, my male gourami seems to be guarding these eggs, if that is what they are? Background: Yesterday, my wife saw the male, and BOTH the wild honey and yellow honey, doing circular dances. I had to leave for a while, asked when I came back if they did it more, or if they got...

Finally got eggs from my bristlenose pleco pair. Dad's a long finned normal colored young adult. Bought him at the pet store when he was tiny, only 6$. Mom's a full grown albino short finned female I received from the pet store owner. They've been flirting and digging pits near the caves...

Hi everyone, About a week ago I identified a breeding pair among my discus, (due to their constant proximity and the protective nature of the male). From that point forth I started doing 25% RO water changes daily, increased the temperature from 28°C to 30°C and also changed their food to...

I need help or any tips or advice after the larger female spawned. The eggs are on the red rock. The behavior got worse after the the female spawned but started 3 days ago since I transferred them to the 90 gal tank. I purchased the younger male at a LFS in hopes of finding a mate for my...

I have a 30G outdoor tank with lots of elodea and floating plants. It's been running for more than a year. Today during the rainy monsoon season, I found a bubblenest with eggs! My male Plakat Betta was guarding it underneath a floating plant. What should I do? Should I move them as there are...

This morning a gave my goldfish some food and i saw a white cloudy ball with a membrane float across the substrate and thought it was leftover food from the night before that got overturned and continued with my day. I came home and said hi to my goldies and noticed several of them attached to...

Evening all! So I've just got my first tank and I've made all of the usual 'tank from national pet shop chain with poor advice' mistakes. Totally should have done more research before getting into this, but touch wood no fish loss so far, and I'm hoping you can help me keep it that way for a...

Several weeks ago i purchased 14 MTS to start a colony for when i get a dwarf puffer in a few months. I researched about them and learned they eat just about anything of nutrition. i started off by feeding them 4 small sinking pellets every 3 days. i never have seen my MTS eat them or show...

Can someone help me identify this cherry shrimp to see whether it is a female or male. It is the one that has the white thing on the top of it. http://imgur.com/a/B7Dg8 http://imgur.com/a/3i7xi

I have had 2 Amano shrimp for the last 2 weeks, and having read about their breeding behaviour believe that they have been at it (having observed one sitting at 90 degrees on top of the other). I saw several things hanging from one branch of our fake aquarium plant yesterday, and they looked...

hey y'all,

Ever since I found out the new pet store sells mystery snails (rarely do I ever see them) I've been checking to see what new color forms they have in stock. My first purchase was a lovely blue guy/girl (not that great at sexing them yet). There's a little bit of wear on the tip of its spiral...

First of all I have 4 Discus (2 Female & 2 Male) along with 1 Bolivian Ram, 5 Tetras & a Pleco. I am lucky enough that 2 discus have formed a pair and laid eggs. It's super exciting for me as having Discus pairing up and breeding would be like golden prize for me. But since I am new to the...

Hello,ive recently picked up a pair Electric Blue Rams. I asked for male and female, but i dont think he knew what he was doing, and im having a really hard time telling as well. Anyway, since day one they have been doing this little dance 2 or 3 times a day where they circle around each other...

Hello peoples. I have four black and white striped angelfish, they were great fish together until they broke apart into two breeding pairs, each pair lays eggs about every two weeks and they're always fighting. The fighting isn't cool so unfortunately I have to get rid of one pair. My LFS will...

Hello all. I have a pair of Angelfish that are always laying eggs. I made a seemingly good fry tank for the eggs, they hatched a few days ago so I also made a brine shrimp hatchery with an old apple juice bottle. Anybody wanna share their expertise about angel fish breeding? Is brine shrimp the...

Hey everyone, I have a male/female pair of mollies in my tank, and I'm curious as to how easily they breed. Do they need a breeding process or will they breed on their own? Are there any telltale signs to look out for that shows they'll spawn soon? Also, if they do breed on their own, how will i...

Hey everyone, I'm new not only to here, but also to keeping tiger barbs! I know about the red nose is male and very round is female, but my tiger barbs are showing some signs of both. One of them is obviously female because she's very round, i think she may be carrying eggs, but the other two...

Hello everyone!  I have two angle fish that my wife bought about 18 months ago and were told that they were a male and female...not necessarily paired.  I didn't know anything about angels then so we took the guys word.  Now I've researched sexing angelfish, and have come to the conclution that...

I want to breed my two halfmoon Betta's. I have done all the bloodlines of both my female and male, I think the offspring would be quite good. I have asked the local pet store if they would like some Betta fish, they agreed.   Question is that, can I keep the male offspring together? (Obviously...
