Though ghost shrimp are supposed to be easy most are either wild caught or bred in wildlike conditions as live food or live bait. You may get shrimp that are not in great condition. Sometimes other shrimp can be mixed ir mislabeled as ghost. I think you can start out with cherry shrimp. People...

"Chick-let" or "jig-let" is how I first learned it in my original language, which actually means chewing gum. I thought they were named as such because they were mouthbrooders (Malawi mouthbrooders were pretty much the only cichlids around then other than angelfish, which were, well, angelfish)...

Are you rescaping, restocking or both?

Does something like a small goby interest you? Bumblebee and the like.

Killifish is a good idea. But I suggest you learn what that red killifish exactly is. They vary a lot by their size, aggressiveness, life span, etc. Some will fit in your setup, some won't.

I presume you are not talking about the floating mops that are used for killifish, rainbow fish, etc. Whatever you use needs to be at the bottom, because zebrafish eggs don't stick. The idea is that the eggs will sink through cracks and holes to the bottom so that the parents can't get to them...

A typical breeding box for live-bearers is too small for zfish to do their chasing rituals. I think they'll be stressed out in there. Even if they somehow lay eggs in there, the box is not suitable for raising the fry. If there are people out there doing it this way, I would like to hear about...

I am a big fan of having two distinct schooling fish. A large fish in a small school and a smaller fish in a large school (size difference not creating a predatory situation). You could try an unbalanced harmony (?) like that with the fish you chose.

Feed and go, as usual. I noticed my male Xenotoca Doadroi is missing. No where to be found. I have a bad feeling that he is somewhere in the Python hose.

I understand that. I answered the survey first - zebrinus. And the rest is my way of saying it is very expensive

To my surprise, I liked the zebrinus this time (surprise because I usually go for cories that look like the other). At $300 a piece, if this is not a gift, I would get a similar looking species that is cheaper.

I started keeping track in 2003, 23 years after I started the hobby, and reached a bit over $4,000 (after deducting the fish I sold), excluding water, electricity, space, indirectly related equipment and renovation costs (which will beat what I am accounting for). Of course, labor is free. If I...

I have multies in a 10g tank since last fall. They came as a 6 pack. They bred several times but I have only 2 more that reached a decent size. Admitted, I don't try hard to raise the fry, if you do it can get overcrowded. For 6+2, they are doing fine (lots of shells so they don't have to fight...

They look like a Limia species.

Do your females go through pregnancy and then one day they are with empty belly? That would tell if fry are eaten. Do you know if you have fish that are fertile? Is your temperature suitable? Their breeding slows down at cool temperatures.

Nice looking fish. I have a minnow tank like this, except I keep them as pets. They are as much fun as anything else. Sorry, I am having a senile moment. What is this format 3,1,1? Male, female, juvenile?

Are they all gone at the same time or one by one in a period of time?

I think what you have now is a pretty good mix. I would up the penguins. But, what temperature are you keeping them at? High temp put a lot of fish in the mood for breeding and some get more aggressive during that time. I dont mean to keep them in cold water, just a degree or two below that level.

I think giant danios would eat the CPDs.
