thank you for sharing that. Very nice website! but no fair you have a four legged helper. The only help i get from my cats have been a chewed up loach and getting in the way during water changes (they are piston fans :D ). I have never seen some of the cories that you sell. I like the burgessi and ...

ok thanks. It's unbelievable how many eggs they produce. I use a credit card but a razor or java moss sounds better. Unfortunately it's a community tank so i can't remove the fish. I'm still trying to figure out how sweather boxes work. I remember reading about people using plastic shoe boxes to ...

My albinos have now laid eggs 3 days in a row. There are eggs everywhere, even on the heater. I didn't really want to set up another fry tank but now i'm tempted. There are so many electrical cords from all the tanks going I'm afraid the place is going to blow up :lol: My question is this - When is ...

First catfish were the peppers, then bronzes, then pandas, then albinos, then greens, then.......cories are the most lovable fish going. I am now the proud mother of a dozen baby albino cories. I also have 4 oddballs I call the "weirdos" because i'm not sure what they are. I've had them for years ...

thank you kindly to everyone for all the information i received here. I will file the cory book along with the books that say you can keep goldfish in bowls and aquababies are a good thing.

Mark thank you for reminding me about the crushed coral. I add it to my tanks but didn't think about the fry tank. Now, i am confused - the book i have says to add liquid fry food as soon as they hatch to promote a growth of infusoria. So this isn't necessary? They will live from the yolk sac for a ...

it's funny as i'm reading your post i see they are madly laying eggs again, quite a frenzy in there. Now i'm wondering if you can put newly hatched fry in with 4 week old fry? Or set up another tank? lol guess you can get carried away with all this....i did some research on the net about hatching ...

Rich, thank you for the advice. I do have an empty 10g i can use. For some reason i thought you had to flood the fry with food. My previous attempts at hatching brine shrimp haven't been too good but i can keep trying. Despite my clumsie first attempts they appear to be ok and growing. It's quite ...

It just seems the debris fuzzs (must be fungus) over quite quickly and sticks to the bottom of the tank. I wonder if that's bad for the fry? I feed them powdered flakes, tablets, tetra gel food and the strained water from unthawed food that is fed to the other fish. I bought some liquid fry food ...

Allan and David. Thanks very much for those suggestions. Tonight i found 3 that had been sucked into the filter. 2 were alive. The mesh i used didn't quite cover a tiny spot and somehow they found it. I won't make that mistake again. I think i'm overfeeding them so too much debris. I have the ...

My albino (aeneus) catfish started laying eggs sometimes up to 3 times a week. I placed the eggs into a 6 gallon tank and have about a dozen good size fry right now. What's the best way to keep the 6 gallon tank clean? The sponge filter i purchased (petsmart) seemed useless so i tried putting in a ...
