Re: Large Aequidens and Brochis Splendens

Beatufull Aequidens Herrera Jenaro ^:)^
If the Brochis goes into the mouth of the Ae. He might eat them. From what You say, It sounds like the Ae. are going to spawn. And then I`m not sure this is a good connection :YMPRAY:

Farlowella id?

2 years ago, I think. I bought a "par" of Farlowella wild. In the shop they told me. That this was NOT a gracilis. And the guy who sold me these, know what he talks about. So my question are: What Farlowella do I have? As he said, it is not a gracilis, I think it must have come from the same place ...

Re: L-128 Blue/very blue.

I don`t think it has to do with age. As there were different sizes, but no real big. I``d done a lot of reading about this. And one place, they rode it maybe had to do, with the food? Anybody have an idea? I`ve seen some of the new seasons L_128. They all are a litle more greenish, than what I ...

And thanks for the help. I have seen pic`s from splendens before. Thats why I thought, that what I`ve got, could ...

Re: Sturisoma aureum babies.

I`m feeding them. Spirulia powder and some driedfood mixed in eggwhite, after a recipe here in another tread. Many died in the summer, maybe the water was to warm. Later, when the 2 last hatch`s died. I thought I feed them too much. So now I`m feeding them a litle les, but now some dies from hunger ...

Re: Artificial Algae-Covered Rocks

This was a very good idea to my sturisoma babies. But it only sticks on clay. I tried on glas but here it fall off very rapidly when it came into the water. But I have a question. Why only use the eggwhite? Why not the hole egg? I think there must be a lot off proteins in the yellow? Regards Roland ...
