Okay thanks for the advice! I would like to make it easier on myself! I would just like to breed them grow them out and pick out a couple of my favorites to keep as my own fish a grew up and sell the rest. I don’t want to make a huge operation out of it! I’ve recently been considering a 40b...

Good to know LowConductivity! I am known to be a fairly patient person, but I guess there’s something out there to test everyone’s patience! I will plan on just 1 female as I have the male in a 15gal flex. If the tank was larger I may try for more. I have a 10gal grow out tank already for fry if...

Indeed MacZ this picture was the day after I got him he is still very young at just over an inch maybe inch and a half unsure how much color they typically have at this size. I’ve had him for about a week now and his color is already showing more! He doesn’t mind me watching him but the moment I...

Linda1234 I believe my gh is 14 and kh is 4 if that helps?

Very cool yukondog! Did yours breed in softer water? My water is fairly hard but would love to eventually try to breed some eventually

Thank you! I’m very excited

Hello everyone I was at my lfs yesterday looking to get an Apisto for my 15gal Fluval Flex. I lost my male GBR Franklin that I had for 10 months just a couple weeks ago due to an injury that would get better but not go away after a couple medications I tried. It was sad coming up to his tank and...

Very great tips flyfisha! I am going to get a sieve it’ll make things so much easier! And good to know they are best eaten within 48 hours! I was able to feed again this morning at about 41 hours I’m impressed they are all still alive with no air stone but I also don’t know much about these...

I sucked them up into a pipette and then used a coffee filter! That was my only issue when sticking the pipette in to suck out the brine shrimp the floating egg shells at the top of the water would stick to the outside of the pipette it was kind of annoying but easy to deal with

Absolutely worth a shot! Your platy fry will have an excellent start

Hello everyone I just wanted to share an easy way to hatch live bbs! I saw a video on YouTube about a week ago and had to give it a shot! I picked up some brine shrimp eggs. First I started with a decent size glass bowl. Add 1qt or 4 cups of tap water I did it a tiny bit warm maybe 78 degrees...

I’m sure one can of eggs would last me forever! I only have 3 tanks currently

Awesome I already have one of the ziss air stones and the usb air pump. I’m already part of the way there! I’m gonna give it a shot! Thanks again Awesome I already have one of the ziss air stones and the usb air pump. I’m already part of the way there! I’m gonna give it a shot! Thanks again

I’m willing to pay the extra money for quality and ease of use.

He definitely is usually more plump! They usually give in and eat frozen brine shrimp. I’ve been thinking about bbs lately! I get live brine shrimp but they are a little big so they don’t go after them much at all. They are definitely the trickiest fish to feed that I’ve kept!
