Hi Sorry to hear about your mothers problems. I have actually given up keeping livebearers for this very reason. I have spent copius amounts of money on trying to solve this problem. Including importing anti bac meds from the states to try and treat the fish. It starts out as a little...

Hi All I currently have some fish for sale on Ebay and I have been asked by someone in Ohio US if I am able to ship to him. I don't really want to do this as I am guessing it would be quite costly to send overseas and I'm not sure what the lagalities are. The fish in question are a breeding...

Thanks Nelly Going to sort the other tanks this weekend!! Hopefuly I'll be able to get my LFS to buy some on a regular basis if they carry on as they are doing. I was just saying to the OH this morning I will need a new blood line and a few more tanks soon!! She wasn't best impressed lol!! Andy

looking good Nelly!! What filtration was you using in that tank when you had the most fry? I now have sooooo many fry I'm worried my filter won't cope once they start to grow!! Andy

He certainly is lol. I am quite astounded at the moment as I have just noticed around another 80 wrigglers and more as yet unhatched eggs!!!! Which means they have spawned for a third time!!! I'm going to be over run lol. I was thinking about setting up another tank to grow some of the older...

Hey Guys just some pics I took today. Not brilliant because camera is naff, but good enough :). BTW Nelly I will get you the info as soon as I can :) In total I have around 100 fry, and I am feeding with decapsulated brine shrimp eggs, and freeze dried brine shrimp which crumbles into...

WOW!!! Just noticed lots more eggs being guarded in and amongst the dukweed :) Will keep you posted!! Andy

Everything is going great. I've removed all but the pair from the tank and so far have counted about 25 fry, so not as many as you had lol. The fry are swimming freely around the tank and mot being taken back by the parents, but the parents are constantly watching them. Is it normal for them to...

Thanks for the input guys. Guess I'll just continue as I am then with the water changes and melafix!! On a side note, I have noticed the pair wrapping this morning. It looked like they were tieing themselves in knots lol. Does this mean they are going to spawn again? Andy

I am quite worried about the injured channa I mentioned earlier, as it really is in a sorry state. I am adding melafix to the water to help with the healing but the fish has become very lethargic and isn't eating. I'll add some pics of the injury and hopefuly someone will give me some ideas of...

Thanks Simonas!! I'm really chuffed that they have spawned, I feel like a proud 3rd parent :) Andy

Thanks nelly :)

Thanks mate, It's all down to your great advice lol. I have some luquifry number 1 as I have also been breeding danio and feeding the fry with that. I have got some decapsulated brine shrimp eggs, however the fry seem too small in my opinion to eat them atm. But I'll put some in anyway. Also I...
