It's Wednesday. Looking after my younger sister's fish because she and Mum left for Queensland a few days ago.
Maybe, but in September.Aren't you going to Queensland for the ANGFA conference?
That's a nifty idea. But I'm doing a community tank (121.5L) for nano fish, so I'm not quite ready to breed fish yet.Get pymgy Cories and celestial danios and breed them in the tank. Then use the money form the babies to buy more tanks.
Ohh. Got it. Do celestial pearl danios eat their eggs? But I do like your suggestion to breed them. Not so fun fact: The White Cloud Mountain minnow are banned in British Columbia, Canada because they're a pest overhere. But they're not banned in Australia. I was thinking of a community tank with nano fish, pygmy cories and CPDs included. I just need to explain to my parents why a tank upgrade is a good idea before I do the community tank. I don't know if pygmies and CPDs breed like rabbits but CPDs are data deficient and we don't know if they're endangered.The thing about pygmy Cories and celestial danios is you don't have to do anything special to breed them. Just give them a nice clean tank with lots of food and water changes, have a load of plants in there and they will breed. You start out with 6-10 or each and after a few months you have 20-30 of each. You keep some of the young and sell the rest and go from there.
If the adults are well fed they don't normally eat their eggs or fry.Do celestial pearl danios eat their eggs?
Oh. I thought they're like tetras, eating eggs and cannibals to fry. I think the best way to breed them are a single species tank, but could breed in a community tank with other fish. They don't breed like rabbits or guppies, they're easy to breed as long as you have a big tank and leaving them alone with a varied diet. Here goes my breeding project then.If the adults are well fed they don't normally eat their eggs or fry.
They don't breed out of control.
Oh. Common plecos are even worse in Florida. And speaking of WCM minnows, why are they extinct in the wild in their original range (White Cloud Mountain in China)? We do not know what the streams in WCM looked like, but some aquarists recreated the minnows' natural range from memory. And it's rare in the hobby when people do that. Little information exists on the natural range of the species' habitat.White clouds are illegal in BC because they could become established as invasives, with their cold tolerance. That province generally (in places) has a milder winter than the rest of Canada.
I wonder, with climate change, if we are going to see more species banned in areas where sub tropical fish used to be no danger to the environment. It's pretty clear no one can count on the intelligence of hobbyists to police themselves. Just look at Plecos.
