Once your fry reach about 1 inch, they are ready. Make sure you have lots of plants for them to adjust in, I would say moving them one or two at a time.

My platy is getting ready to drop! Congrats on yours!

A Giant tank with various tetras and cichlids. :good:

Thanks!! Do you think i could keep apistogramma cacatuoides with neons as the two are related fishes?

Sounds good! I have experience with lemons from my 30gal.

They seemed pretty too, but I think I still like the Apistogramma Cacatuoide. Although, if my store doesnt carry them (or kribs) I will get those. Thanks for the input!

First of all, what do you mean "normal" shrimp. Second, you know shrimp lay eggs correct?

That would be PERFECT! Keep it dearie, you will so want it later, trust me. :nod:

The Apistogramma Cacatuoide was super cute. :wub: I would love to get them a 50 gallon tank, but alas, Mother of the house says that 7 tanks is enough.... :( :sad: What do you guys think of a rosy red minnow school as dithers?

have recently fallen in LOVE with cichlids .I would LOOOOVE to own myself some :wub: My question is this: I have a 20-25 gallon that someone gave me and thought, hey, maybe I can put some there!! What are your suggestions of cichlids I can put here? I personally think that cockatoo dwarfs are...

Thanks!! I have briefly looked into kribensis fish and thought they were VERY cool. I looked on the web, but couldnt find a list of good dithers. Other than the mountain cloud minnows, what would you suggest that would coexist naturally or at least comfortably with kribensis? Thanks so much!!

I would love either, but my local fish stores dont care them. The only fish store near me that carries shrimp at all is petsmart. I am thinking of waiting a month or two, just using their tank as a plant growing tank. When I am ready I willmake sure the water is good and then get them and post...

I HIGHLY disagree, mine havee NEVER caused problems with plants. They are great in tanks with fry or frogs or tetras or livebearers. Loaches and catfish will suck 'em out though. I dont have problems with empty shells, They tend to grow with the snails I have, unless they get eaten, and have to...

If you go to your local pet store, and you buy some plants, you can ask the person fetching them for you to throw in a snail or two. They usually will do it for free.
