littlemousling![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003 ![]() | [vote]Cichlids[/vote] Too bad this doesn't allow for mutliple choices ... okay, so far three species of shellies (the others are in a mixed tank, so I've included fry-eaters to preclude hybrid issues), plus a couple of Apisto species and of course the ol' Krib (although at the time I thought they were P. taeniatus "Wouri," since the seller lied to me) in the past. Others, past and present: lots and lots and lots of bettas (argh, *never* going back to that), the "Clown Killie" (P. annulatus), the Lyretail killie (A. australe "chocolate" , the big four livebearers plus Endler's, goldfish, WCMMs, Danios, Cories (trilineatus, aeneas, and arcuatus), BNs, GloFish and of course Clown Loaches. Okay, joking on that last one ... I do feel like I'm leaving something out, but whatever.[span class="edited"][Edited by LittleMousling 2004-08-11 18:07][/span] -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |

My female weather loach is currently pregnant, and my bala pair do mating dances, so far no eggs though. I would like to breed dwarf gouramis, but I cannot find any females.

I know, I know it's hard to believe that these can reproduce in captivity. I'm working on a detailed article on the extensive research and preparation I went through to get these guys to breed. I still have some calculations to do as far as the steps I took to assure the proper water chemistry for them. So, be patient and hopefully soon we'll get a few more people breeding these elusive fishes![]() ![]() Jason |

Auratus were very prolific, and very violent. Convicts were prolific, but more protective than outright violent. |

I do have one about 2 months old. I breed Endler's in a 10g. There are 7 adults and quite a few older fry in that tank. The younger fry are in a 5g grow out tank. I have a pair of kribs that are just now starting to get along after being together for months, I hope to someday get fry from them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |
