  1. the words "amazing" and "wow" were posted a lot for a reason..............same reply from me, all are awesome, i really like the unique look to the discus tank and the wood you have in there going verticle looks really good
  2. see you are still at it a bit...Im in australia for the winter ...but will be back at some flowerhorns when i get back..heading to thailand after this I may pick some out. .have you had any luck yet? have they shown any interest in eachother? I would have tried him with a really nice female red devil or red parrot and tried to get some color on those babies..........good luck
  3. I love these little guys, for fry which are usually pretty bland and borring, i think they are particularly good looking, and it will be interesting to see when they turn blue! I kind of regret not getting some of these guys, they were a huge reason for me getting so into the hobby caught my eye but then i got scared to keep them as a newby lol. awesome thread jonah.and good work.
  4. good luck! you can use hikari first bites, my fry took it within the first week, ive heard of a lot of ppl starting straight off the bat with this...also another thing i havent tried would be to use your favorite pellet in a pepper grinder. I may try that next time if i ever have fry again. Very interesting that you are seeing the differences in the fry, in the fry that you believe are eb's are you also finding that they are smaller than the carriers? On another note, its been over a year since ive had babies, but im pretty sure bbs lose their nutritional value after 24 or 48 hours ish? might be something worth looking into, and in my opinion these babies should be more than ready to start on flake (powder) foods, just keep it clean as im sure you already know, and feed in tiny amounts with a straw. I understand you wanting to be more careful with these guys though especially the blues as they are known to be more sensitive...cant wait to see pics cheers
  5. ok thanks, i think ill look into the 12 by 12, where did you pick that up?
  6. kinda just looking for the cheapest thing to go on my aquaclear filter intakes....going to check dollar store tommorow for cheap sponges, just the square type but the actual sponge filter looks better...any tips would be good for cheapest place to go
  7. looking for the best place and price to get these in calgary?
  8. yea apparently the freezing method still creates a lot of stress, ill get the clove oil and do the clove oil freezer combo....thanks for advice
  9. thanks bud, do you know the price?
  10. I have to put down one of my fish who was injured and has since become infected now beyond repair despite his quarantine, salt, melafix etc, anyways I want to use the clove oil and alchohol method, just not sure where to get clove oil in calgary and the price? alchohol portion isnt an issue :P ..tried wal mart pharmacy, no luck! thanks..
  11. Got these guys in from Thailand. One Fully Faded male with huge head potential,nice short face,strong tale and balanced finnage at 4 inches. Two short body thai silk (only one pictured)they are 1.5 inches--these guys have unbelievable personalities, they are like little puppies waiting at the tank for me, and they are both completely round lol funny to watch, also the one pictured is getting a bump on his head too. And last but not least, one regular bodied Thai silk fry @ 2inches , who has head pontetial as well. Cant wait to get these guys out of de-parasiting and quarantine (a must for fish comming from thailand as they usually all use live foods)...they are all juvies.... but so far so good! enjoy
