if its a new type of tetra then sure!

The jar show for June will be on Tetras. Hope to see you there!

very cool, im kinda wanting to see this in person.

very cool, keep us updated man!

Those are amazing colours! If the male is just sitting under his nest staring at the bubbles, odds are they have spawned already. At this pint you can take out the female and wait for fry. If not, I'm not sure what to do, I have this issue with pearl gouramis not wanting to spawn

you can pay me off, ill ensure that you get a member profile. The fee will be $10,000. Payable in cash or money order.

cas takes a 30% cut from all auction items.

lol i need to see this in person. maybe buy one off you??

With 13 entries, yesterday's jar show was the best event yet. Thanks again everyone for participating. Next month's jar show will be on African cichlid, looking forward to seeing you there!

Congrats on the spawn Dan! Are you softening the water at all?

oh the wonders of in-breeding... errr line breeding.

Nope. They ship to Canada. If you see a Canadian flag or a world icon next to the item, odds are you can get it here.

woot sweet build! Nice magnets! I will be keeping my eye on this

oh man, I still have to check out your breeding pair!!

Fry are free swimming as of this morning. The parents moved them from the top of the leaf to the plants root system. Kinda looks funny, white roots that seem to vibrate.

Pics!! FTS Thanks vince

Its spring outside in case anyone hasn't noticed and my fishroom sure is the proof of this. Over the last couple weeks, I have had a couple species of cichlids go into spawning mode. The most awaited of these species was neolamprologus caudopunctatus, I have had these fish in a species tank since last october waiting for some action. Turns out all their tank needed was a quick decor change and fry appeared a week later. I walked in today to see that my rainbow cichlid had spanwed which was a total surprise. I had just moved these to a different tank, and I was expecting them to take longer to adjust! Anyone else's fishroom going spring crazy? Pics to come Vince

very cool indeed!

Agreed! She indeed did a great job!

I'm sorry AM but that sword plant was impressive, even if your pelia was the best ever, I don't think it had a chance lol. Can't wait to see what you bring in April!

The april Jar Show Competition will be on Live-bearers. Thanks for everyone who participated in the March event, and congrats to Fred Guy with his huge sword plant!

The next Jar Show this coming tuesday will be about plants. Therefor, I urge you to bring in your choice of plant and showcase it to the other members. Thanks Vince

Hey Folks, I have a 20L that houses some shell dwellers. The substrate is sand and only sand. For the past nine months, there hasn't been any plants in it, and I have been battling a cyano outbreak. Im curious if anyone knows of any plants that can tolerate sand, or thrive in sand, so that I may get the nutrients under control. The lights are on less than 8 hours a day, and the tank gets a 20% WC weekly. Any help will be much appreciated.

yeah, by adding the vals, you may have released ammonia from the gravel? testing for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate will give us a better idea. how are the rest of the fish faring? Are any of them sticking to the top of the water, breathing heavy? Does the water stink?

Hello Folks, I have a group of albino bristlenose that have been breeding continuously for the last year. The male must be getting tired, as he's been kicking out the eggs the last few times. He still raises the odd batch here and there, but his performance as a father has been rather lacking lately. The last time he kicked the eggs outs, I removed them and put them in a small 2.5g to see if they would hatch. The tank wasn't very clean and they didn't hatch. This time, I decided to leave them in there. The fish reside in a 20g tank with some CRS, with lots of plants, rocks and open feeding areas. The eggs survived me syphoning the rocks clean, and two more days in the open feeding ares. This evening, they had dissapeared, so I assumed they had been eaten. Wrong! There are small plecos with huge yolk sacs stuck to the side of the tank. Being albinos, they are very orange as well. Anyone ever experience this?
