Can inbreeding affect size?

Hello!

I have a large and happy group of aeneus in my 75 gallon. Most of them have been born in the tank. I never went into breeding seriously; it just sort of happened, and I did not think about swapping stock because I was just happy to see them happy.

Right now, there are four aeneus juveniles ...

Re: Long-time lurker, new member, nervous contributor!

Thank you all so much!

MatsP, your comment is greatly received over here. It seems that every time I attempted to use a sodium-inclusive treatment, even at half strength, I have lost corys. There is so much to learn!

I do want an RO system. It does make sense to prevent the problem before it ...

Joining a club sounds wonderful, but I am in school right now and do not know if I would have the time to adequately contribute. I should check out the club's requirements!

In the case that you want to remark on the black hair algae -- please do! I use Pond Care Phosban, and while it helps a great deal, our water supply is naturally phospate-laden.

IN the meantime, just knowing I belong to this group helps.

Re: **FREE Presentation -- Corydoras: Ian Fuller** - Present

Oh, my, Hell. Serendipitous. I live 90 minutes south of Seattle. If anyone here is going to attend, I would truly love to meet you. I am going to to. What a better way to jump in with both feet.

P.M. me, if you'd like.

Long-time lurker, new member, nervous contributor!

My name is Daphne. I am a 44 year-old computer forensics student.

I have a few aquariums, all live-planted, with Asian or South American rain forest river species. The species that have come to capture my heart have been the gentle kuhli loaches and the armor-plated cats -- hoplos, portholes ...
