so to small to travel lol want to trade for some angles for plecos:) we have a angle production line here. my pair have spawned twice in the last week so there are a few free swimming and about 100 wigglers. and in another tank 30 4 month olds and in the big tank 12 year olds ( no no not 12 year olds "12" that are a year old) lol so many sizes to choose from if you want to see what they look like, i took a batch of 60 5 month old ones to golds a couple weeks ago. later matt

so you have 50 fry? how old now? matt

yea hurry up and make them grow! or should i just get some eggs off you.. LOL

how is the spawn doing? I am looking to buy some at some point, I am in line to get some:) matt

The box is located under the part where you add attachments. It should be under "post options" and say "Enable email notification of replies". Check that box. ok i see it there now:) thanks matt

hmm i got a notice about this the reply in this thread and while i post this reply I am looking for what you are saying and i dont see it.. o well as long as it works i will watch closer next time i post:) matt

i checked in my settings and i think i have it set right but i do not get email notification when someone posts in a thread i started or in a thread that i have replied to. what have i missed? matt

i have the wardley stuff but they seem to go for the first bits much better and go mad for the fresh shrimp. hope to have the 50 gal tank ready for just them by the end of the week. thought has crossed my mind to start up another 50gal tank for just the parents. lol this is getting out of hand. its like being a kid again but with the money to do the stupid things my parents would have said no to. I think i need someone to say no. not sure if its a good thing but my wife is more into it than i am . matt

everything is going well so far. the fry are starting to look like angels and growing faster than ever. so far no more losses at all still over 100 going strong. there are only 3 now that are still quite small but they seem to be getting bigger as well. they are getting live shrimp and first bits and they eat up like mad. have to keep on top of water, these little things sure put through the food! thanks for in the input:) later matt

would you be able to tell me how to get this thing hosted so people can download it!! I could host it if the file isnt to big. matt

Hi Matt I don't want to have to re-scape the tank I want to use, so I thought I'd use the 'egg crate' and raise it off the bottom an inch or so. That way the eggs will fall through and the big fish won't be able to get at them. Hopefully, that would save the eggs till I get home and take the big fish out. Thankx for answering. Rick I am sure that would work as long as they put the eggs into it i guess:) I am guessing that you are going to move the eggs to a new home at some point. matt

not sure if i would call myself a seasoned fish breeder or not:) lol more of a master of fluke. matt

No body knows???? I am no expert but i think the idea is to have gravel that is quite large, pea size or a little larger then as the eggs are dropped they fall into the gravel where the other fish cant get them. if you have a pair the male should be there at the time the eggs are dropped and he should be doing his job. now the eggs might be safe in the gravel until you go to clean the gravel, or till they hatch and swim up and out into the mouths of the other fish in the tank.. not sure if i am much help I have no experience with spawning tiger barbs at all, i do have about 8 of these mad little racers in my 80 gal tank:) later matt
