Oh right, anyone got info on this buffering ? I think I'll give it a go as it seems to work well for you. I only need the BBS for my Siamese fry just frustrating I've been doing it wrong. Fortunatley there seem to be a lot of tiny white organisms in the water which I'm guessing they can feed...

Hi I have de-shelled eggs that come in a liquid formulae. Whats the baking soda do, you say buffering sorry not sure what you mean. Still new to all this as you can tell :D Thanks for all the info so far though its been very useful indeed. Cheers Jay

Maybe I'm not dechlorinating the water properly, how do you usually do it ?

Hi I ave an old Cola bottle with a non return valve placed in the lid and an air pump feeding it. I then add 1.2 litres of water with 3 spoons of Aquarium salt. I then add the eggs and they are left by a window. I can see the odd one swimming but most are still eggs after a couple of days :(

Hi, I'm after any advice or experience with breeding the siamese fighter, I've kept them for a while in my community tank and thought I'd have a go at breeding them. I've bought a small tank and a white male and copper green and red female. Within a day they have spawned and the male is now...

Been looking for a good forumn for help and advice with my fish keeping and this seemed like a good site :D I've had freshwater tropicals for a couple of years now and I have a community tank with various fish in it. I've recently started a breeding tank to breed Siamese fighters. Cheers Jay
