for the most part pretty good.. 5 escaped when I was trying to move them out of the breeding contraption =[ 3 were eaten but 2 managed to find a hiding spot under the rocks and have been there for over a week doing just fine hiding on their own and popping out to get a few flakes during feeding...

You have been extremely helpful and I will definitely take your advice. Thanks for everything!

Thanks a lot, currently they are in a plastic breeding contraption that is a pretty nice one it cycles the tank water through the bottom and it is closed off so they cannot escape and the adults cannot suck them out. However, they probably will need a larger contraption/seperate tank to allow...

Thanks so much! When I was stocking my tank I looked for the brightest fish =]

I JUST STRIPPED MY YELLOW LAB!!! I could not capture a video of the actual stripping since my hands were full and it was my first time ever trying this... I did get a video and a few pictures of the fry!! Here's the video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6hsetYvPss"...

Thanks for all the great advice. Does anyone know about how many days the fry can be left in a breeding contraption at the top of the main tank before they can be released with the adult electric yellows?

dthoffsett- thanks a lot for the link on stripping! After I strip the fish, if I put the fry in a breeding contraption that connects to the top of the main tank... appx. how many days would the fry have to be contained in there before I can release them with the adult yellow labs? Will they be...

I normally let my electric yellow fish just spit into the tank naturally but usually only 1-3 fry survive that way so I was thinking about stripping her for the first time.. What is the best method of doing this without stressing the mom out too much/injuring the fry? Also, I can SEE the fry in...

Tropheous Dubois get max. 5 in. Yellow labs get 4-5 in. Pleco gets 8-10 in. The guy who owns the LFS near me said to have 30 full grown in a 65 gallon because if I don't overcrowd it one will dominate the tank and possibly kill others to fight for territory. Also, he said the Trophs have to...

tropheus duboisi Karilani & tropheus duboisi halembe is there a difference? they both look and seem the same so I'm really confused.. Please help me out!

Thanks so much! I am definitely going to get the vampire plecostamus- I like the exotic look and the markings on it. I'm thinking 15 electric yellow and 15 tropheus dubois then just the 1 vampire pleco my tank is 65 gallons long
