Feeding on baby brine shrimp. These guys are multiplying like crazy. Bought 8 online. 6 died. Replenished my school from my LFS with 5 more. I believe I have multiple spawning females because I keep seeing more smaller and smaller fry. A few different age groups in this tank already. Keep your...

So 1 of each then? Very good. Thanks for the reply. Happy to report they are both active and feeding on frozen brine shrimp this afternoon.

I thought that too!! I bred Bolivians once. But this one has blue scales and a red eye which I believe Bolivians don't have. I think it might just be a low grade GBR. Or maybe a hybrid? I am no expert. They were the only 2 GBRs in a mixed tank at my LFS. They weren't listed on the tank and I...

Thanks so much for the reply. Here are a couple more pics.

What sex are therse? Are they also they same type of GBR? Video Big one Small one

Here are some articles I read. A lot of interesting stuff for history buffs. Aquarium | Setup, Fish & Supplies The Museum of Aquarium and Pet History | https://www.tfhmagazine.com/articles/freshwater/the-making-of-an-aquarium100-years-ago...

Oh very cool. I see there are a few copies on eBay. Did it look like this? I've got this excerpt from NATURE 1934 where they talk about the 6th volume of that magazine. "An angler fish or ‘fishing frog’ more than three feet in length, said to be the finest specimen of its kind ever...

I've just been on a rabbit hole looking up the history of aquariums. If anyone has any good articles/books about the history of fish keeping I would love to read them. I have come across this magazine called Aquarium Journal. Seems they are mostly from the 50s. Can't find any information about...

Sold them today. They sell them for $7.99 or 2 for $12. They give a standard 30% of what they sell them for. So about $2.30 a piece. I was fine with that, since I'm not looking to make a ton of money. Just wanted them to go to good homes! Splash Aquarium in Sacramento will have authentic ALX...

Very cool. I remember when mine were that small. They grow up so fast. Good luck! Here another video where you can see more of them. And with their parents for scale

Just about a 5 month update. So, they are huge now. We started to lose a lot of stragglers over the last month or 2. Small guys that never got their growth spurt for some reason. I took some out into another tank because maybe food competition was too much. But they never did grow normally...

3 month update.

Week 4 update. After couple days of big displays of colors and cleaning an area amounted to nothing but a false alarm from the parents. No new eggs. The 20 or so fry in the tank are all still around. Still on a 1st feeding of Hikari first bites/freshwater flakes/cichlid pellets then 2-3 baby...

Brine shrimp feeding in the breeder box.

Ya I'm just being cautious. You also said your parents never separated the eggs like mine did. So they might be different. Just checked this morning and no sign of new eggs. They were definitely cleaning a new spawning area last night though. The 10-15 fry I left in the tank appear to be all...

Ya I am going to err on the side of caution and set up a hang on breeder box. Trying to get all the fry now.

Looks like the parents have found a new spot to spawn. They are now in the process of cleaning the area.

Almost 3 week update. Their fins are coming in and they are finally looking like real fish! The last few days the parents have been together. Both displaying very vibrant colors and a bit of lip locking. I am thinking they might want to spawn again so I am keeping an eye on the fry to make...

As long as you pay shipping. Sure. I have no experience shipping live animals but I have shipped thousands of things through eBay.

They are getting so big!
