More pics of my Bolivian ram fry. Slowly but surely becoming real fish! :D

I'd seen the Planet Catfish info, and right now the growout tank they're in certainly meets their suggested conditions. Temp is around 79F, and pH is 6.4-6.6. But I'm glad that longterm, there's been success keeping them at a higher pH (at least when not breeding). My main tanks tend to be 7.4...

Ooh, so glad you posted that since it made me look into it. That’s looks perfect! I’ve been needing to get something for separating smaller fry temporarily but didn’t want to use a hang-in net. Looks like I’m about to make yet another aquarium purchase! :D

Looks great so far! Loving all the plants! :)

Well I waved goodbye to Big Red, my spare adult super red male, this evening. A bit bittersweet since he’s the first fish I’ve sold/traded where I could tell him as an individual (unlike guppies/endlers), but he was part of a trade for two young L183 starlight plecos. They’re a species I’ve...

Alright fellow Fishlorians, I’m turning to you for advice once again. I’m about to get a couple of juvenile L183 starlight plecos, and I have some questions on their care since I’ve seen a huge range of info about them online. Some places suggest 79-84F temp, others 73-80F, etc. Similarly, I’ve...

Pricing and availability updated. :)

My baby plecos are still continuing to grow well! Current and future updates have been consolidated to one thread with my other species of fry here: Gudgie’s fry-raising setup | Breeding Fish Forum | 517566

Finally had a chance to take some new pics of all my fry tonight, before I did a water change on all the tanks. First tank (5 gal): has a small swarm of peacock gudgeon fry that mostly became free-swimming on Jan 31st, plus a small cohort that hatched a week or so ago. Also has some similarly...

It’s been a long time, but thought I’d circle back with an update. I ended up keeping all the females and the one male, and added in two unrelated males. I’m currently raising my first batch of fry from this group (yay) - so the mother of the brood is the daughter from my original pair. I’ve...

I was a big fan of my Azoo mignon HOB filter that I ran on a 5 gallon for years. It never stopped working (used it a decade); I’ve just swapped to sponges because of raising fry. It even has adjustable flow which is great...

Sure, here are a handful of pics of my breeding rainbows.

Probably Ludwigia repens

I’m just raising my first batch, but I’ve always been terrible at sexing this species, at least until they’re fully mature when it gets slightly easier. The only trait that’s been a dead giveaway for me is the breeding tube on females. (sorry, about to get off topic…) jmaldo - was it your...

These rainbows only get up to about 1.5” max, so rather small. A 10-20 gal aquarium is sufficient for them. The male pleco is rather gorgeous and I’m going back and forth about parting with him - I just wish he’d been a female to pair with the other adult male I have. :)

All fish were bred and raised in my tanks. :) FISH Orchid endlers: - M/F pair - $8 (5 available) - Male - $4 each, or 5 for $16 Gertrude's spotted blue-eye rainbowfish, unsexed (approx. 0.75-1.25 inch) - none currently available Juvenile super red BN pleco, approx. 1” - $8/each, or 3 for...

The Bolivian ram fry are out and about today, hunting for tasty snacks. Slowly but surely they’re starting to look like fish and growing larger. Approx 13 days old today.

Hmm. In my original breeding pair of gudgies (generation before my current adults) my male diligently guarded the nest and never ate any eggs or fry. The female, on the other hand, thought the fry were an all-you-can-eat buffet. Thankfully the male kept her away from the eggs at least! I’ll...

Please fill out the emergency template. That should help to figure out if there could be a water quality issue or something else going on. Can't comment on the mating behavior, but glad he visibly looks fine!
