Re: ...Dwarf Wabenmusters?

Huh, that's pretty interesting... Are the eggs and fry proportionally smaller, and do they have decent hatch rates (if they hatch at all)? I still can't get over how small these guys are; would make for a great pleco for a smaller tank, if it was merely a harmless genetic mutation (which I'm guessi...

New spawn today while I was at work. It's rare for me to find woodcats spawning in daytime. I wish I were home to record it one of these days. 10 January - about 42 good eggs collected 8 day interval 18 January - about 160 good eggs collected 8 day interval 26 January - egg count not recorded :( 10 ...

Re: ...Dwarf Wabenmusters?

Hi, I've got a group of wabenmuster, all from the same breeder, maybe from the same spawn (they were about the same size when purchased, but may have been from separate spawns close together). Two of my males are huge, well over 10 cm SL. But two of my males are small like yours, about 6 cm SL. I've...

Re: Both bought a Akysis prashadi. Are they the same species?

So, is the idea that the eggs will fall into the glass dish? Yes, there's a plastic "knitting canvas" mesh over the glass dish, with some fake plant stems and the spawning mop. Hopefully, if the fish are in the mood, they release eggs over the bowl and I catch them in the dish. Achim said...

I guess I'm too untrusting of exporter/importer IDs. 🤣 I imagine the tail pattern differences might be normal variation but might also be exaggerated by how widespread the fish hold their tails when I photograph them. 20240323_171743~2.jpg Having said...

Hi All, At the CSG convention, with the help of @Catfish-ologist, I got 10 Akysis prashadi from Aqualife Leyland.

Hi jd_7655, Where do you go from here? I'd say just leave them alone for now. If you have a male and female in the cave (vs. two males fighting for the cave), they will either lay eggs or break up... if the latter, then you know they're at least slightly interested, so be patient. If they haven't la...

I didn't find even one good unhatched egg in tank.

Re: Fry Rearing Method for Angelfish

Thanks for sharing. I'm curious. Do the angelfish eggs hatch in chlorinated water? Since the eggs don't all hatch at once, do the early wigglers get harmed by the chlorine while waiting for the later eggs to hatch?
