Hi, I was fortunate to be offered some very nice young L cats today on which i couldnt pass up, I was shown a picture of the parents on which the guy was selling these juvies on behalf on him and the feedback was that they were either L 048 or L 007. Ive managed to get some reasonable pics of these ...

Beautiful little plecs

Craig

Hi, As the advice above stated to me 1. If you keep "sufficient" (say more than 6) of the same species, this will reduce the chances of crossbreeding. Im keeping 9 C142`s , 9 Corydoras sterbai, 8 Corydoras polystictus , 4 Corydoras concolor, 6 Corydoras blochi and 6 Corydoras aeneus "gold shoulder ...

Great Cory`s

Love the pics in with them too , congrats on your spawnings

Craig

Very nice Pic Brengun

Hi Guys :D Have been hearing and reading varied opinions and need some advice please.

Hi, I bought a group of nine of these guys today and when i got home after researching the name on here im a bit confused on exactly what i have as there seems to be 5 sub groups of this cory ? Heres a few pics i took today. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g148/scat35/Corydorastapajos1.jpg http ...

Thanks Carpe

Ok hopefully something will turn up, anyway we aussies have to pay far too much to get anything from eastern europe brought down here So am hoping they were wild caught

Cheers
Craig

The guy that i deal with is a very reputable businessman and a dedicated hobbyist also, if he even thought that there was a chance of these being a hybrid he wouldnt have sold them full stop. His guess was that they may have been caught with a batch of upside down Syno`s as there seems to be quite a ...

Hi Guys :D Went to my LFS today and bought some beautiful Syno`s that came in with a batch of petricola, these were seperated as they were cleary different and the best guess they were sold to me as spotted syno`s :D Heres some pics i took tonight and would appreciate any help , plus one more small ...

Hi Guys :D My fry are now 10 days old and have had mixed results. For the first 7 days i only lost 8 fry, then over the next 3 days ive lost around 25. My biggest loss was when i tried to change them from the spirulina/agar paste to a day of zuccini and hakari carnivore pellets. They just dont seem ...

Thanks everyone for your replies

Hi Guys :D Am posting up a few pics of my Sturisoma panamense as Larry (apistomaster) has asked me to have look to check and confirm which Sturisoma i have exactly. Here is my female that is breeding atm shes currently 10cm and has just laid 100+ eggs last wednesday ! http://i55.photobucket.com ...

Thanks Bas Pels :D Ive left room for slate caves to be put in soon and have some other premade breeding caves to go in there also ( you will see one of those in the middle pic) The pics are deceiving and the rear part where the plants are (from the pebble/rock divider ) theres still 10 inches of ...

Hey Guys :D A few weeks ago a mate of mine from the Perth Cichlid Society agreed to have a crack at making a Amazonia background for my 7x2x2. This tank was a malawi tank but have been leaning toward catfish alot more lately :) So this is the result. First cutting the background to size. ( Neil who ...

Hi Guys

Am still waiting for these fry to start to feed?

Most of the fry have only hatched 24 hours ago but some are up to 72 hours now?

Its a nervous wait

Cheers
Craig

Hi Guys :D Day 8 now, 11 whiptails hatched and 40+ eggs still going! http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g148/scat35/EmbryosDay8.jpg Note my Corydoras sterbai decided to spawn all through the tank today also( eggs to the right of the frysaver :D ) I have a perspex frysaver inside the tank where they ...

Update :D Have 2 hatched now and the rest are still cooking but look ready to go !!! http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g148/scat35/embryosgonnapop.jpg So do you guys reckon that a better ratio would be 2 males to one female to help reduce the pressure on just one male tending to eggs constantly ...
