The literature states that these fish should hatch in approximately 5 days and I have to agree with this. I witnessed the first of the young leaving the eggshell this morning. Here is a picture of a freshly hatched fry. http://i.imgur.com/4ZOtWl5.jpg Here is a picture of the hatching bucket. It ...

They are in a 120 gallons community tank, maybe next time I will leave them in. I just don't don't think they will make it if I leave them in.

About a year ago, a local fish friend decided to shut down a majority of his fish room, and gave me first crack at the fish that we're in there. Knowing I was in for a world of goodies, I immediately dropped everything and headed over to his place. I was rewarded with 4 species of plecos, one of ...

I do not have experience with chloramine. The city I live in only use chlorine, and in very low amounts. The chlorine will off-gas within a couple hours if well aerated so its usually not a concern as long as I don't change water right before they hatch. Once the fry hatch, I use aged water from the ...

I came home tonight and all the unfertilized "green" eggs had fungused over. I did a quick removal of the "bad" eggs and added some more chlorinated water. The fry are really evident when I look at them close. I'm half tempted to removed another egg just to take close up picture.

Here is a horrible picture of the eggs in the bucket. The assassin snail shell is a good reference point for size. There are now clearly light brown eggs, and green eggs. I'm starting to thing that the light brown eggs are the fertilized ones. I can see more stuff inside than the undeveloped green ...

Thanks for the tips Andy, I will put those to good use! Update! In my excitement to get the eggs out, I did something I don't typically do. I used water from the parents' tank. Usually, I use chlorinated tap water when incubating eggs and the reason is that the chlorine kills off any harmful ...

i, yes, this is Rineloricaria/Hemiloricaria parva . Cheers, Thanks, its nice to get confirmation. This morning, I took a peak at the bucket and the eggs were still green and appeared in good order. I added 2L of warm chlorinated tap water to the hatching bucket and now I'm back to waiting. In the ...

Here are some more shots from this morning. http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x357/vincezero/Mobile%20Uploads/20141103_073704_zpsmaldylzh.jpg http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x357/vincezero/Mobile%20Uploads/20141103_073712_zpskciurssa.jpg I pulled the eggs last night, and as of right now ...

Hello, I was given a couple of these awhile back and didn't think much of it. I left them to their own thing in a 120g tank, and worried about many of my other fish. Earlier today, I noticed that the one was starting to look full in the belly, and decided to take an update picture for better ID as I ...

No they we're a gift from a friend who was shutting down and he lost the information. I thank you for the other name, I may try to track those down. I just received a group of agassizi today and they seem to have smaller spotting than the fish I already had.

Thanks for the info, I will do my best to catch one. This tank sits next to my desk, so as soon as they are on the front glass, Ill snap a picture.

Hello Folks, I haven't posted much on here, and have asked on other forums that are more local to my are for an ID on this fish, with little luck. I have a group of these Farlowela that were given to me by a friend. Im hoping to set them up to breed in the future, but it would be nice to know what I ...

Hello folks, I was given a group of cories a while back and Im just getting around to Id'ing them. I have this one potentially ID'ed as C. Agassizii but it would be nice to get a confirmation from someone in the know. Thanks http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x357/vincezero/null_zpsb80753a0.jpg ...

awesome keep us posted!

i am very sorry for you loss

very interesting, i am going to have to keep that in mind

might also have to start eating yogurt lol

if it is panaque maccus, it is a beauty thanks :thumbsup: I'm not certain about this but I believe I've read that mopani is too hard for even Panaque to eat? They're supposed to need wood in their diet (probably more for digestion than anything else), in which case wood or bogwood would be more of ...

oh and i forgot, heres a full tank shot as promised, any suggestions...?

im currently waiting for my lfs to get some large mopani wood pieces in, im thinking about adding one or two.



thanks,
Vince

Possibly Panaque sp(L105) or perhaps Panaque sp_aff_maccus . But all of these are very similar, and it's quite hard to see enough details in the picture to say for sure. -- Mats i will try to get better pictures, im sorta new at this picture taking thing i was also thinking it might be Panaque sp ...

Hey guys! So i purchased 4 panaque maccus a few weeks ago, and after closer observation i think i may have gotten 1 oddball, i was hoping some of you might be able to identify it for me Heres so pictures http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo69/Vince_O/HPIM0776.jpg http://i362.photobucket.com/albums ...
