Mats: Thanks for the input... After much deliberation and input from others, it seems I would be better off, simply biting the bullet and purchasing several of the Darker blacks from this local store..... Now the next thing is hopefully trying to sex them???? if you have any insight on this it would...

I was given some advise on breeding for black, and I will tell you what they said.. maybe you can impart your opinion here.. It was told that if I purchase one or two of the blacks and breed them to a sterbiae or shultzie, and then cull for best black color, cross them back to black parents to stren...

Mats: Thank you very much..... it does help me with my search... There is only one decent store near me, (within an hour) but realizing retail can sometimes be subjected to what the seller has to pay for them initially, plus the added "rareity" factor (assuming they aren't everywhere on th...

What's a fair price for them????

:-?? OK.... Can someone please give me the skninny on black corys..... are they a dark phase of existing species, or a morph, or are they a distinct variety to themselves. Does anyone breed them, and are any available???? I saw a couple (NFS) in a pet store, but the fellow there couldn't really give...

Can anyone help me out with sexing Acanthus adonis'? is there noticeable distinctions between male and female? I have one very healthy fish, about 8", still has spots, and was sold as a female, but not sure... any advise or input here would be very grateful... thanks ps... will try to get a pic...

I took them out for a couple reasons... 1st, because I didn't know better, but more importantly, 2nd... I have some perugiae's in that tank, and figured they would snack on them..... I suppose I could take them out and let the fry go with parents....
but didn't have a tank available at the time....

thanks folks...
so far so good.... have them in their parents tank in a fry keeper...
they are starting to move a little more now, but still have yolk sacs...
will take all your comments to heart...

thanks

Ok... I have a bunch of baby Bristlenose plecos, and egg sacs are starting to dwindle now.... what are the best foods to feed them, and should I wait till their yolks are gone or start before they are completely absorbed??
thanks
david

Thanks so much for the input.... I have mine in a 10 gal... but because of space limitations, I had put some smaller bristlenose plecos in it also... figured with the clay tubes and such there was enough hiding spaces for all... the darn plecos laid eggs, so I have moved their wigglers up to a fryho...
