  1. I recomend "No Planaria" from Canadian Aquatics. Its natural (NO CHEMICALS) and very easy to use. Used it in a tank of breeding Black Schultzi cories. The fish actualy spawned during the treatment. No ill effects on the eggs or fry
  2. Where can I get the rules and regulations for the auction? I went to ACE site but it has not been updated since the fall auction and the rules links didn't work. Was hoping to bring some cories ...... albino, green/bronze, Julii and Schultzei (midnights) Oh well, maybe I will get it worked out for the fall auction ..... still hope to attend and maybe buy a few fish.
  3. Currently running a 6 stage-75 GPD system from maxwaterflow.com (I dont use demineralization stage). The unit preforms very well, no issues to date (almost a year) My system has the booster pump and operates at 95-100 psi. I added a 50 gallon plastic storage tank and plan to add a second. It came with a pressure gauge which is very useful in telling when you need to change filters. FYI - to upgrade to 100 GPD simply change the flow restrictor you DONOT need to change the membrane. You may also want to consider the addition of a permeate pump to improve the units efficiency. I plan to add this option when I add the second storage tank to improve the system recovery rate. I am using 100+ gallons per week with some more tanks coming online soon I live in a rural area with very "hard" well water. Using r/o water I am breeding guppies, 3 swordtails, 4 killies, 8 cories, angels and 2 plecos. R/O is a MUST to me. Another benefit of R/O is "no more hard water deposits" tank and equipment clean up is SO MUCH better. Good luck.
  4. Sorry, nothing planned at the moment
  5. Midnight cories are a color form of Corydoras Schultzei developed in Germany I have both Corydoras Schultzei (black) and a dark colored strain of Corydoras Aeneus (Bronze) The Schultzei are a more velvet black and their fins are or will turn black as they age, the bronze have a red or orange tinge to their fins. The Schultzei will retain their black color on a light bottom colored tank, the bronze's black color will fade out. The Bronze will grow larger while the Schultzei will be smaller and more elongated in shape. I have found that Schultzei are also much more timid. Hope this helps One of the Schultzei grow out tanks ( white eyes caused by the flash) A couple of the dark Bronze adults. They will be even darker on a black bottom tank but would fade to their regular color in the grey bottom tank above Sorry about the poor quality pictures but I'm still on dial-up
  6. I found my avatar picture and thought it was a perfect fit ...... I raise cattle and fish The Albino Bristlenose pleco breeding tnak: Some of the angels I got from a breeder in Florida. Sorry about the motion blur, they think it 's feeding time whenever i get near their tank
