For god knows what reason this topic's filter is by default set to "Last 60 days"...   Check the blue bar just above the posts.  Click "Custom" and change "Last 60 days" to "Show All".  Also, if you tick "Remember filters" while doing that you won't have to do it each and every time.

If you're still worried you could have a quick read of this topic over at Seachem themselves...   Seachem Prime and false positives   Btw, I'm by no means saying Prime is bad.  It's superb imho.  I also use it.  You just can't trust Nessler based test kits for anywhere between 24-48 hours after...

Using Prime can give a false ammonia reading up to +/- 24 hours (I'm guessing if you overdose Prime for even longer?) after using it.  (Yes, API ammonia test kit measures NH3 & NH4) Also quite a few people get an incorrect 0.25 ammonia reading with it.  (I don't)   I really wouldn't worry about...

Link is working for me.   Also, I'm so not handfeeding that one with such teeth

I don't spot any tap connectors on your picture, so I'm guessing you don't have any. Without tap connectors (who will save you from having to prime your filter after EVERY cleaning and would be a nice optional extra to get) or a priming aid...   1) Put your filter AND a empty bucket on the...

Since you don't seem to have any luck getting a reply, I'll chime in.   No expert on Sterbai whatsoever, but I got mine at approximately an inch 14 months ago, and they all are +/- 2inch now.  The largest female is perhaps a tiny bit over 2 inch. So, in case you needed them to grow to max size...

Nice, looking forward to seeing that nice piece of wood with some plants contrasting it...     That 4th pic's link ends with ".htm" if you change it to ".html" (like the others) it works just fine (I had a look at the pic).

Judging from those pics you have 2 males.   For future reference this pic shows the difference nicely.  

Nice to hear :)

Are your youngsters still there?   I've got 11 still going.  They're occasionally chased by a fish trying to eat them, but are too large for the mouths of most fishes in there now.  (Not to mention too fast.  They move crazy fast when something chases them).   I tried to take some pics today...

I use these...   Quick info: The Aquarium Wiki More detailed info: Seriously Fish Anything catfish related: Planet Catfish

It's fun watching them grow huh? :) Since a little over a week mine are bold enough to sleep outside. And I guess, as a result they got picked off (by the catfishes?) at night. I've got 14 left and they are very close to (if not at) half an inch long now. Havn't lost any last 4-5 days. So I...

A female and a juvenile'ish male. Double check that the top of his dorsal fin (thin top border only) has colour (any colour) all the way tot the end. (I think it has, judging from te pics. and if so he's male). He just doesn't have his spade-tail yet.

Pretty sure those are 3 males :/

It happens... They'll grow out nicely with your guppy fry. All well here. I seem to have lost a few though (likely to wandering off from the group and being snacked on by neighbours much larger than them). 35+'ish still going strong. And both parents still guarding them all day.
