Hah mine totally ram the snails too! Sometime I'll have to try to catch a video of it. You'll definitely be welcome to them come spring if you're still interested! Planning to eventually sell most of them, assuming I don't run into issues raising them. :)

I wanted to share my work-in-progress small fry setup. Trying to get organized since apparently I have six species of fish all breeding but have limited space. Not a major setup, but it’d be nice to raise a small amount of offspring to sell/trade - plus it’s just a super fun hobby. My partner...

Fry are approximately 9 days old, if you count from when they hatched into wigglers. It’s getting harder to take photos of the swarm, since they’re spreading out around the tank a lot more but still so tiny. The parents seem more comfortable letting them loose, probably since they’re the only...

For writing on the outside of glass aquariums, is it better to use sharpie or dry erase markers? I'd like to write on my fry tanks to help keep track of dates, but want to make sure it's removable. Was leaning towards sharpie since I can likely remove it with alcohol, but wanted to see if my...

Apparently my A. australe killifish eggs are starting to hatch sooner than I was prepared for, so trying to figure out my plan asap. I need to get a tank set up tomorrow, so likely running out for a 5 or 10 gallon in the morning…or going the budget version and using a sterilite bin. Regardless...

I'm looking to get one new air pump that's powerful enough to run all four of my fry tanks off. I have three 5 gallons and one 10 gallon, all on the same level on an old 50/75 gal aquarium stand. Each aquarium has one sponge filter, plus I'd like to run a 5th sponge as backup. So one pump...

I'm fairly sure Demeter has that species. If you've had them 3-4 years, they're definitely getting fairly old, so not surprising you've lost some. I'd guess spawning as well, if you think it's a M/F pair that's left. Although I'm impressed if that's the case, based on their age.

Daily photo of cuteness. I can already tell they're getting bigger!

Water changed my three fry tanks (two 5 gal, one 10 gal), feed BBS to my fry, picked through spawning mops for Gertrude's rainbowfish eggs, and now looking into what I need to set up for my soon-to-hatch Australe killifish eggs...

Welcome to the forum! I don't have hamsters anymore, but did when growing up - loved them! Now we have dogs, ferrets, and birds. :)

A few Endlers livebearers (especially wildtype) or least killifish would work. Both species have been super hardy in my experience.

The parents decided to move the fry to a more “secure” location. I guess they didn’t like me putting a pipette near the fry to feed them BBS. Got some nice orange bellies though! :D

I finally have swimmers! Such a difference compared to when I checked them this morning and they were still mostly wigglers. :)

Well, looks like all three species in this tank are breeding now! My super reds are into their second [tiny] batch of fry, as tracked on my other thread. Super red bristlenose spawn log | Breeding Fish Forum | 513623 The rainbows have been breeding all along, but only a couple eggs here or...

Some of the fry are just finally starting to get a brief lift-off! Hoping I’ll have some free swimmers soon!

Just wondering, what substrate did you use? I really love the color of it! I like the pool filter sand I have in my tanks, but definitely wish it was a deeper tan sometimes like yours.

That looks fantastic!

Well you can’t really tell they’re wiggling in this, but here’s a pic I just took.

Welcome to Fishlore!

Watching! Small fish for the win! I love ours too :)
