petricola eggs
Okay so the petros finally spawned. Actually they have been spawning for the last 5 days. I have pulled probably 500+ eggs and I think I got one to survive. They fungus up so quickly. Last night when I went to bed at a 11pm there were no eggs in the bowl with marbles. This morning at 4:45am there ...

petricola fry
Okay, I got a batch of eggs to hatch but I lost the fry after a few days. They just started to slowly disappear. I put the eggs in a 15g with 2 box filters and add some methalblue for fungus. No carbon in the box filters.
Any suggestions on how to keep them alive?
thanks
Chris

I found another batch of eggs. Probably 100 or so. I put them in a 15g with some methal blue. It looked like the eggs were getting fuzzy but they hatch yesterday. I am planning on feeding them a mixture of meaty foods that have been ground up. I have been using this for my altolampogus calvus fry ...

syno petricola breeding
I don't know what to do. I have like 25 petricola dwarfs that I have had for 1.5-2 years and i got them when they were 1-1.25". I figure they are 2.5 years old if not older and am assuming breeding size now. I put 8 or so in a 20g and I am wondering if they would do better with more or less for ...

Hi I live about 20 miles south of Madison. If you are looking to get rid of them I would post them on these forums and sell for $3 or 4 each out right instead of worring about getting ripped off by the lfs. If they are pushing 2" I would sell them for alittle more http://14.freebb.com/?freebb=mnfish ...

That might be the problem. I had my best luck with the 10g with a whisper 60 pushing 300gph. The 75g has a whisper 60 and a sponge filter with a aquaclear 301 powerhead on top. I will have to add a few more box filters or sponge filters to the tank. I will let you know how the next spawn turns out ...

Hey Pleco Queen(Barbie) I noticed that one of my males was sitting on eggs in a 75g so I removed all of the fish besides plecos. The fry came out of the cave a week later. With in a few days the bellies started to swell up and they started dying. I have been feeding them plecos Aquadine flake and ...

Email or pm me for his email ...

Besides my fish I am into woodworking and fishing. I make furniture but I also like to turn bowls on my wood lathe. Ice fishing is in full swing but isn't as much of a priority since I have 12 tanks to clean weekly. Sidguppy: Try some of Terry Goodkind's books. He is a very good writer and I agree ...

I agree with raising the fry. What a pain. I loose quite a few out of every batch. Maybe even 50%. I have noticed that I get a redish-white sore on the plecos body. I had a episode of this with my breeding group in July. I ended up loosing 4 adults. I ended up treating with maryacn and that cleared ...

pleco aggression
Does anyone know how aggressive L46, L128, L134 plecos are. I was going to have these guys in the same tank. Will I have to deal with constant fighting or will they get along. There will be enough space and hiding places for them.
