Ahh is that what the female is then, we just saw her, thought she was really pretty and the other angels were picking on her! When we got her all her fins were battered. Now she's beautiful! I think they've eaten the eggs, I did see 3 wrigglers on a leaf this morning but now they are gone.

So its been a long time since I posted. Covid 19 shut down the UK and with it my newly acquired retailer to sell my fish to! As such I took the decision to shut down about half of my tanks. My hope of getting Marcos rams this year faded into dust as they are also having their own issues in...

I've spent the weekend thoroughly cleaning all my tanks after various efforts in trying to worm my fish! Let me explain:_ I decided on Flubendazole as I'd always found it pretty safe, but this time I bought a bulk powdered version, rather than the NT Labs liquid. At first I just measured out...

All thanks to your support for getting me started! Update on the fry: definite Black/Gold mix of Fry, around 70% black and 30% Gold.

wow! nice fish and massive spawn! How's the dark gene going? any luck increasing the %.

So, its been a long time since I've posted, work has been insanely busy and a nightmare in equal parts! Many may not know but apart from my equestrian business, we buy product from auction, refurbish and sell on ebay. Our main product was a particular brand of Hoover but this last 12 months...

Do you think having the lights on longer improve spawn rate? Just curious as some of my tanks are natural light only and wondered if adding a light might impove spawn rate.. its been raining a lot here so very drab/dull a lot! lol

HI Jake Its more temperature than anything, some do put them with Otto's but only if you don't have the temp too high. However I don't have anything with the breeding pairs. In my community tank I have one pair of EBR but I never see them spawn.. if they do they get eaten pretty quick. The...
