Hi all,

I have a sterbai fry that has inverted eye coloring, and I'm worried he might be blind. All of his siblings have a black pupil and yellow ring around it, but this guy has a yellowish dot in the middle with a black ring around. He seems to act normally though, and seems fine in all other ...

Somebody should check my calculations, but I figure that you approximately need one standard size ice cube (~20mL) for every 2 gallons to cool 25 C water by one degree.

You can probably figure out how often you would need to add ice cubes if you knew the room temperature, surface area of tank ...

Not to get off the subject, but it seems to me that there's a much better argument for GM agriculture than GM fish. GM agriculture has the potential to feed more people, provide better nutrition, reduce the use of pesticides... the list goes on and on. GM fish for a *hobby* is silly... of course ...

The problem is, while surfing the web I came across this photo diary of developing sterbai fry, and my fry ...

I feel it's my duty to step in and dispel this myth about anything flushed down the toilet ever getting into any waterway.

Hi,

Since last posting, I've moved the remaining fry (now down to 2, currently 2+ weeks old) into a new bare-bottom tank just for them, and started feeding on baby brine shrimp. They seem happier.

The parents continue to spawn, but on watching them closely I noticed that the male follows the ...

Hi, I'm reposting my post from fishindex here, maybe I'll get a better response here. The post concerns Sterbai fry.

Hi everyone,

If you remember my last post, I had a small batch of cory eggs. Well, since then, they've hatched, and I got another small batch that has also hatched, and a third ...
