Day 1- nothing, day 5- nothing, day 21- nothing, day 999- nothing, yesterday- nothing, today- they're everywhere, I counted like 8 or so but they could be anywhere FINALLY, BABIES! (ps: I know my tanks cluttered but I think they like all the hidey holes- a little sand on the one side, a bare...

Moved the lounge around and trying the couch against the tank, my kitten decided this was a great opportunity to go Cory fishing

South African summer is here and as violent as ever, fish are still happy and healthy and here are a few shots of them smiling (yes, you can see it if you look close enough )

Heres a video of both the parents watching the baby in case it helps more...

Anyone know what fish this is? It was in a pond with tilapia but it doesn't look like one.

Still eating every food that isn't theirs I think I need to starve these buggers for longer so they can appreciate the correct food

I made it and cleaned it out myself (that's why it looks so messy ) but yes, all my bettas love our attention no matter what we pit with them, most of them (not this blue boy though) even let my 2 year old stroke them

Last night was time to sleep on the sword leaf so before lights out time I took a pic. He's wedged between the glass and the leaf and will spend hours sleeping like that with no need to swim, just lifting his head for the occasional gulp of air.

No one needs to sex the pepper, its most certainly a female since its so spicy and hot as for mr/mrs pleco, I'm sure as it matures more I'll know.

Despite daily tank watching I did not even see the eggs but it seems my Panda's decided to surprise me I have no clue if there are any others yet and I know chances of community tank survival is low but I'm still excited for this little guys success and I'm rooting for him!

My little "boy's" growing up well, already ~6cm (+-2.3 inches) from the teeny tiny 1.5cm (0.6 inches) I got him at. It must be because he's good and eats all his veg also he doesn't like sharing with snails at all and swats them off with his tail, weird thing too is he doesn't seem to like...

My blue boy has a rich lifestyle with his 3 homes here is a picture of him leaving his coconut, the next is in the java moss (right behind his coconut) and finally he has a fancy little spot between the glass and amazon leaf at the top of the tank. A- NO ONE is allowed more than a few seconds...

Replaced all old plants with just Java Moss a while back and they seemed quite happy with the change. Might be going a little too hard with the tannin but so long as they're happy, I'm happy

I know! I considered running for my phone at the very least but I had read how fast it all happened so I figured I'd rather watch then risk missing it... I WILL have my camera (or phone) with me for a few weeks now, probably until this hyped feeling goes away I am hoping they do that for me...

So I was lucky enough to watch the entire mating and egg moving process last night! I fed them a small algae wafer which they go nuts for cause I wanted to count roughly how many females are berried, to my surprise a female that must have JUST molted came out (stupid stupid shrimp coming to a...
