thanx

I just bought a large pleco, can you help ID it?

how long can you leave a piece of zuchinni in a tank before fouling the water.

you answered another question I was wondering about...

I am going to have to remove the rock the is located over him and I thought this might scare him and he will take off. I guess I will find out tonight or tomorrow.

thanx...

I have been reading articles about breeding them...

All African Cichlids...

he is in with a few Alto Compressiceps, L. Boulengeri, a couple S. Petricola, and a Pulcher.

I have a pair of Ancistrus sp3 in a 72 gallon community tank. I noticed this morning that the male is sitting on a clutch of eggs. I would like to grow out the fry from them since this is my first spawn with bristlenose. so I have a few questions... How well do the bristlenose protect their eggs and ...

cool, thanx...

thanx sidguppy for answering all the q's

I guess either they didnt get fertilized or not enough airation...

They werent even in this tank for 12 hours when I found the eggs. How long does it take for the eggs to fungus?

all the eggs are a creamy yellowish white color...

does this mean they are no good?


I read somewhere that they are clear, yet I have seen pictures of off white colored eggs as in the profile for petricols, its hard to tell but they really dont look clear...

I know you said a 20g is to small and that you had no luck using a 20g, but I decidced to try. I put them in their last night and now this morning there are eggs in the breeder net. Now the question is, will they hatch. I will soon find out.

so do you think 1 female and 3 male dwarfs would be alright together in a 20gallon with lots of caves and one marble setup?

thanx sid I think I am gonna have to do it though. The WC kigomas are around 4" ro 5" and heavily spotted and the dwarfs are only around 2" with very few irregular spots. They will only be in there for a few months until I get another tank setup. Or would it be better to put the one female and three ...

All are syno petricolas... First question. At what size do dwarfs need to be before they will breed? Second Question. I have a 72gallon tank (4 foot) with 1f/3m dwarfs, and other cichlids. I would like to take the female and one of the males and put them in a different tank. That tank currently has ...

can you offer me any tips?

have you been able to get them to breed?

I am gonna try with the marble/pot setup.

kigoma's arent dwarfs are they?

I pick them up on wednesday, already have the pots/marble setup for them.

I have 2 pairs of WC syno petros "kigoma" coming on Feb 23rd...

Got my pots setup with the filter/marble setup and hoping to get them to breed.

Would it be better to have dim lights on this tank for the petros?

thanx Barbie

I am just gonna order the WC dwarfs then...

anyone?

I am going to be placing the order to get some WC either the regs or the dwarfs.

But I need to know if the regs will spawn the same...

ok thanx...

has anyone else experienced the reg petro's breeding with the marble setup?

thank you

are these dwarf petros or reg's?

they are still fairly young and about 2"

do the regular petros breed the same as the dwarfs? (with the flower pot and marbles?)

I have been looking for some WC dwarfs but found someone selling regs. I want to get them for breeding

I got a hot with more light...

a defenite ID if possible would be great...

Thank you

looks close, that may very weel be it... I have been trying to get a better shot but he likes to hide...

here is a belly shot if it helps

can anyone help ID this guy?

thank you...

any particular color?

what about the clear ones with color inside?

What kind/color marbles work best fro breeding Petricolas?

Can you use clear marbles with the colors on the inside or is it better to use those flatened and rounded clear glass like stones?

if you have a pic of one that you can post that would be great...
