Some Pics Of My New Arrivals

Gorgeous fish!

Whats this chimney people talk of when spawning? All ive got is that it is a cut off coke a cola bottle?

It is a 2ltr coke bottle with the top and bottom cut off so that when it's in the water the top is a few inches above the water line. That way you can still feed your female and when you release her, it can be done without disturbing the males nest. Also easier to pop over the top of her to put back in.


Gunna have to put a hold on this until next week, I've got to go off this weekend and wouldn't want to with new babeys etc just being born, will try again on Monday I think :good: :)

Awww not to worry.....will have to wait till next week to see how it all goes. Your VE will be with you tomorrow so it'll give you a few extra days to get it all set up :good:
 
Re: Last photo.....move the thermometer for crying out loud! :rolleyes:

Other than that, very nice :good:

Lol That was there just to make sure everything was stable :)

I'm trialing heating my bedroom to 28* omg I'm sweating!!! Waiting on the big ass convector heater I bought for the garage to turn up :) Ebony is in a seperate tank now on her own :) Should I leave Ivory in the spawning tank or will he get too terratorial of it?

I bought some apple cider vinegar today Netty, wasn't sure on the apple juice, is it ok to use the long life from concentrate pure apple juice or better to use the fresh from the fridge one? Thanks again for sending them :good:

Ivory will be fine in the spawning tank for a few more days until you can get started. It'll be less stress on him too and hopefully by next week he'll have built a huge nest.

As long as it's pure apple juice then it doesn't really matter which you use.

I don't know how you can stand the heat.....I have to have a window open even without any heating on at night :lol:

Ah that's good then :), I put the pic of the start of his nest attempt at bottom of this post (ebony decided to show how she can blow bubbles too)...it's already falling apart as its in the middle of nowhere! I'll grab some apple juice from work tomorrow then :good:

I don't think I can stand it tbh, dont need it right now anyway :)

P.S. recognise that IAL?? :lol:
 
Wow.....he built a great nest there even if it wasn't where you wanted it :lol:

Ebony looks like she's wallowing in a pint of shandy :lol: At least she gave the bubbles a go bless her. And you should have enough bits of IAL to make a whole leaf :p
