Couldnt agree with you more happygeorge, have been keeping mbuna and haps for 10 years and 20ppm is fine. The water need not be the same as lake malawi as none of the fish that we buy have ever seen it. They have been bread and raised in tanks that do not have zero nitrate.

the pic is too small for the pregnant platy i can't see anything, but the bottom feeders are bronze cories

Alright thanks Jen i will see what i can find around me.

as in title, any thoughts?

Perth, Australia

I am saying that the male is on the left and looking at it again it may actually be in the background. my bad

erm no.... the male is in the foreground and the female is in the back.

yeah its an auratus and is probably the most aggressive you can get

looks like a hongi to me

hahahahaha classic. how embarrasing.

yeah it can happen i have had kribs that have killed fish before, also what size is your tank.

man i wish you lived in australia i'd love some albinos

blue dolphin, almost full grown now, 7 inchs long, beautiful fish

yeah i agree should be fine. If you work on one inch of fish per gallon that gives you 55 inchs of fish and by my reckoning you should still be well under that.

Your method of using the fry tank to separate the male and some females is probably the best way to only get a couple of females pregnant, this also means that you would be able to control which male was breeding and select your healthiest. i can't really answer the size of fry to be seperating...
