Thanks again Ron for the demansonis, beautiful fish as always. Let me know if you want to start a colony of them again because soon I think I will know someone who can supply the juveys. All the best with your pond and hope the book helps. Harold

1. Till done. 2. Hundreds 3. Dozens

Buy it and hide it in the garage, then later pretend it was always there. Ha! Shawn doesnt have a garage and he can't bring them into work like I have lately, because his wife works with us too. Double Ha!! Mind you, I think my wife is on to me because I talk too damm much about the tanks at work. I see it coming, some of this :boxer: then this :chair: then this :boxed:

11 at home 4 at work with a couple pending.

And do you have to have pink scissors, I only have manly black ones.

1st. question; do you feed your fish live food, in particular live tubifex worms? Of course without a better picture I am guessing but it could be round worm or anchor worm with the end chewed off. Here is a decent link to start. http://www.fishpalace.org/Disease.html

http://www.burnswatergardens.ca/ Ron, this is a good place to start, tell you what, I will give you a pond book for those fish. PM to follow. And Shawn, well let me tell you about Shawn. He was traumatized when he was a youngster. He dug a big hole in the back yard and cried for days when he couldn't figure out a way to bring it into the house. -01-

Connie I cut the runners off of mine and it seems to have given up..........................................for now.

Danios, guppies,bigger gouramis. dead fish after they bloat up.

Wound up with wrong quote anyway..... I keep some of the plants you gave me with mine, they ignore them. Where are you keeping those Connie, I don't believe I saw them before. And yes they are nice :bow:

From what I have seen Angels are not crazy about disruptive noises, swordtails males only care about folding those fins foward and letting her have it. I know they have no problems with noise, they are in our bedroom and lots of loud noises going on in there.... No you pervs I mean my wife snoring.... Jeez

If it is say a yellow tailed Acei it is a lttle more difficult than some to determine gender, the one doing the dance, well that is the horny male, he usually has a little more blue and slightly longer pointy dorsal fin, the female is the bored one eating bon bons and watching soap operas.

She sounds like my wife, all the dancing, no interest, time to use the tried and true cloroform method.... Anyway the females have a knack of looking disinterested. True breeding behaviour is when tha male is chasing everyone away and the female isn't nearly so anxious to swim away; when she starts circling over a spot on the bottom, she is laying eggs and swimming around to pick them up. Males will continue to @$$ wag at them for a long time afterward. PS don't always be sure that the male knows the other fish is a female. I had a known male Zebra Obliq and known male red empress doing the dirty dance with each other for over an hour, basically stopped watching then, straight sex is best in my book.

He is between 1.5 and 2 inches. He always got lots to eat because the little guys would sit under this rock and I would let NLS growth drift under the rock. It's funny the articles refer to males being a light color, not females. I do agree with Dunl, as I said I never saw a white female.

Thanks, I hadn't seen one before and I was thinking that if she mated with a full orange male I would get faded orange kids, but the baby is whiter than the mother.

The last time I posted pictures of this fish was middle of Jan. Here we are in March and here is his picture. He has been this colour for months now. The good news is that one of the females are holding so maybe I can make some more. -ham-

I aquired the mother from a former member who aquired the fish a week earlier. He gave it to me free, I think he wanted it gone. Anyway I have her in the 90 gal. office tank and here is her picture. So one day I notice this white baby in the tank. The mom must of bred with my normal colored male. It seems that this was the only one that wasn't eaten, because I have no way of getting carrying mothers out of the tank without tearing it down. I have a wonderful collection of different juveys in the tank so they must have a good hiding place in there. Anyway here is a picture of the baby, I shouldn't call it baby because it is an inch and a half. I would like everyone's thought on this fish. Oh and I have not altered the original picture other than cropping. Baby Top Picture Mom Below

Like a cat, just velcro it to the top, also keeps the fish from jumping out.

Did the same fish pose for all the pictures? To be out of the water that long would mean DATS ALL for the DAT

My AC 300 does it too. Recall!

I had heard that Winners wanted the space. Too Bad

OK now tell us how we get them to stop!!! :shock: JK In my office tank I have 4 females holding right now, they are almost impossible to get out because of all the rockwork, I managed to bring one red Zebra girl home to have her kids in a 10 gal. I am going to have to tear the office tank down soon to get all the juveys of 5 different species out of the tank, who managed to escape predation. I feed the same all the time and do one third W.C weekly because of the amount of fish in this tank.

THATS MR. POOPY TO YOU SIR! :bang1:

Great shots Connie, are you are going to start the debate again about the empress? Maybe this time we will get get a difinative ansewr from someone. He still looks nice to me.

Here is a picture of GT And I do believe that Vapor is right about second picture. I think it is most surely a dog.
