I need to know which is the best combination of fish that I already have...which are....1x5" L14, a breeding pair of L333, a juvie L333, 6x 1.5" L66, 3 pairs of bristlenose (1 pair is regularly spawning).

Cheers all.

Hi, There's no problem hatching them..99% hatchrate from each batch so far. I can't seem to catch one of the fry with the "grain/spots" on camera. The ones that do have the spots only seem to have one- and they seem quite prominent...and almost as if they are growing with the fry?! This batch seem ...

Hi, what would be the best shape/size breeding cave for L333's?

Cheers

Thanks for the replys.

The fry are being moved to the frysaver as eggs..and these white grains are becoming visible within days. What could be stressing them out at this early stage? Light, heat...any suggestions? The parents were in this tank , and they showed no signs of whitespots/grains.

Are ...

Thanks for the replies.....but I have had a good look at the current fry..and there are definitely

SMALL WHITE LUMPS/GRAINS ATTACHED TO THEIR BODIES - BETWEEN 1-3 EACH ....WHAT COULD THESE BE?!! YIKES!!! :eek:

Any ideas?

I'm guessing that whatever these are...they could be the culprit!!

Please ...

So- to cut a long story short......Would I be able to keep all three types together in my 6x2x2...at pH6 at around 84/85 degrees? (6 bristlenose,3 L333's, 6small juvie L66 and a 5" L14?? Would any of these be likely to hybridize when mature?

Thanks

Apistomaster...what is the pH of your water? Do you think that 6pH will be ok? I currently keep my discus at 85 .

How often do your L333's spawn, and what do they seem to prefer spawning in? (don't say water!!!!...tube, clay pot,cave?)

Cheers

RickE...I know tou keep 84 degrees ...but what pH is your water?And have you managed any plec spawnings at these temperatures?

Cheers

Hi Mats,

we have tried leaving them with Daddy until free swimming....using a frysaver with an airstone and it's own pumped flow from main tank....using their own seperate tank from hatching...

Foodwise- cucumber, finely ground Tetra prima and algae wafers.

The current batch were removed from ...

Hi, I have an adult pair of L333's, a small breeding colony of BN and an L14. I have a very large tank (6x2x2) into which I will be transferring some discus to. I would like some advice on which plecs I could keep in with them if any..and which I should keep in a seperate tank. The water will be pH6 ...

Hi, I have had about 4 batches of eggs from mu BN pair....the eggs hatch well, go brown, consume their sacs, grow a bit - then about when 4 weeks old they all start to die off one by one... :(

Water is low in nitrates (no nitrites or ammonia) ph is about 7.2 ish and temp varied with each batch ...
