Great video and well timed for me. :-).

5 week old fry look a bit..............small?????

Very nice looking fish. :-).

I have been considering them as well just nog sure on harvesting eggs, hatching ect. Really hope you get into them then I can learn by your mistakes. Lol.

Don't blame me. Lol. I blame Jarrod so maybe we can both blame him??? Sounds good to me. :-)

Good luck Ash. She is beautiful. :-).

Nice fish. Closest I have seen to green. :-)

Time for an update. This tank is out of control. The fish are slowly being squeezed out. Rams still thin but doing the same.

Have had issues with my black orchid girls, there has been a flare up. I am loosing one at a time, beaten to death. Many have body wounds but only ones on last legs have fin damage and that is usually extensive. Not sure who is the aggressor or what triggered it but they all look miserable and on edge.

Rest of the fish are ok and seem unaffected.

Anyway, this tank in long overdue on a massive clean out and trim. I guess this has been a success as I wanted low maintanence and good growth resulting in "jungle" effect. I do nothing with this tank, add nothing and clean when ever I can be bothered, which is not much lately. :-).

Excuse the mess but as stated a clean up is long over due.

Link not working. :-(. Will update shortly.

Try this.

Thanks Ness. :-)

@Ashley..,.....no worries Ash. Got a few orchid girls that are completely cello.

My next pair are HM. My first attempt at them.

Thanks Ashley and Sarah. Feels very good to have a few spawns going again. Had a really bad run, spawn wise, in the last 12 mths but it's really improving lately.

Fingers crossed my next pair go well. :-).

Not going well so far. One definate male. That is in the sump at the back, squashed him with the side of the net as he escaped, then when I did get him, he jumped from net onto bench. Lol. Almost had enough before I start. :-(

About to start jarring these guys and while adding water I noticed this. Lol. Not like they are starving.

I would clean it all out.

Wow. Great photos of some beautiful fish. :-)

Very little info either. Was pretty poor I thought. :-(

I was offered this system from a LFS and a fair bit cheaper than listed above............

LOL.

My 7 yr old sons favourite show. Never miss it. :-)

Best of luck with a parking fine. Doubt they will let that slide.

No picture?????

Lol. Sorry guys.

My story is taking Jarrod to pick up 2 Aqua one barracks. We went through 2 toll booths. I though we only went through one. By the time I realised what was going on, a $1.80 toll turned into $300.

Ps.....after lots of letters and begging, six months later they waived the fines. :-). Lucky.

Ice cream container in the fridge with one IAL. Change water every few days/daily. :-). Easy.

He was pretty sad looking in the shop. Very washed out and wouldn't flare. I wasnt convinced he was any good.

Happy to say I was wrong mate. Good score and a great match. :-)

That's right. :-)

Do you test your water for ammonia, nitrate and nitrite?

This is a basic test kit available from all LFS and is a must. This will answer your question. You might be able to even cut down on wc.....maybe.

Ps. Take in a sample from the tank, BEFORE you do a wc, to your LFS and they should be able to test it for you.

All depends on your filtration and if you have live plants.

One very lucky fish. :-)

Yep. Looks like a boy. :-).

Good score. :-)
