les Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 OK Razzi Thats long enough what has happend in the two foot tank so far and how are the Pattoti going? Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Patoti are spawning but I reckon the fry are getting eaten. I'm sure I counted about 15 the day after they were released but can only find 5 now. The pair spawned again today. I need to do something about getting the parents out of there once the fry are released. I doubt any of the first batch of fry will still be around if the female keeps snacking on them. The main breeder badge tank is getting completely overrun. There are lots of platy babies and bristlenose babies as well. But it's now severely overstocked and the baby BNs are not doing well. I've lost a lot of them. Using it as a holding tank for my male guppies is also not helping the overstocking situation. I have a plan on how I'm going to split the occupants up. I just have a fair bit of work to do to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Hi Razzi Can you strip the Patoti and place the eggs in an egg tumbler? Also was thinking about your 2Ft tank when looking through Matt Giang s cataloge at aro aquatic he has external breeding houses that sits on the outside of the tank this might help a bit with the heavy stocking you experiancing at the moment I plan on getting a few for durring the summer so I can accomodate more fish anyway just a thought that might help Cheers Les PS how long between Patoti spawns?

Bettarazzi Posted September 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I think it's been about a week since he released the last lot. Maybe a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Whats the news Razzi have you got your Badge yet and whats in ya tank Cheers les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Oh I'm a long way away from the badge. I'm facing the problem now of raising the fry and trying to stop the parents from producing even more fry. So until I get rid of these I won't be able to move on to the next species.What's in the tank? Lots and lots of platies and bristlenose babies. And quite a few guppy males. The platies hassle the BNs, taking little nips at them. They even take nips at the adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 What you mean you have to raise the fry as well, I thought you only had to breed them and then you got your badge I recon palm them off on to kids at the local school call it a comunity service and ask for the beadge LOL Na realy good luck with it and I hope it goes well, Oh by the way I wont be comming to Melbourne now as my brothers is comming back home so I will have to stay hear and help with my God Son, but never mind ther is always next year after the Betta Australis show Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Yeah you have to keep the fry and parents alive for 60 days. They've actually been there more than 60 days but I still need to grow them to full adult size before I can get rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Hey Razzi Did you get your badge? and how did this venture span out Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Still a way to go with the badge. Platies have been evicted and replaced with swordtails. Lost all the bristlenose babies probably because of my lazy fish keeping. Also lost one of the females. I got a pair of dwarf gouramis a couple if weeks ago but the male got sick almost straight away and died a couple of days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhong89 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I have to ask... when did you last change the water for this tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hey razzi I love the dwarfs was thinking of giving gouramis a go myself but am a bit confused on how to sex them. well good luck and I am sure it will work out with the live bearers Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted December 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Water changed maybe 3 weeks ago. Dwarf gourami females don't have as much colour. Can be hard to find for sale sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
