Dont Spam my threads please. Or ill report you to the MODS.

Turtles, their are many types so if you could tell me the breed then ill help you out. I used to have one; the most common is the red eared slider. Which im going to guess thatâ??s what you are getting.

Well I was told by the LFS that the male will get 'sad' when the eggs are eaten, but Iâ??m not to shore on that. It could take anywhere up to a few weeks before they breed again but if you are lucky they could breed tonight. All depends on the condition of your water/tank, but as they have breed ...

Owell the male common BN had a feast and ate them all im moving the Albinos to their own 3ft tank next week

Im not to shore, if someone could confirm that would be great.

well bad news, half the eggs are gone so I pulled them away, I found the common BN eating them, so I put the eggs in a net that is under the water, their is allot of water flow because it is near a air stone and near the spray bar. Sadly the eggs where exposed to the air for about 3 seconds, but we ...

yes the eggs are bright yellow, I dont think they will survive for the angel fish will eat them, but their are a few good places for them to hide. After this spawn im moving the BN (both common and albino) into a 75 liter tank.

Zeb, are you sure it's the albinos that have bred? It's HIGHLY unlikely that they're mature at 4cm (they're probably only 6months old). That's also a LOT of eggs for a 4cm fish. Who's fanning the eggs? You say the common has his eyes on them, is it possible they belong to him?

its the Albino male ...

YES
I first spawn, my Albino BN only less than 4 cm have breed! I don't know if the eggs will make it for I have a huge common BN with his eyes on them, I just noticed when I was vacuum under the bog wood. I'm so excited, their is about 20-30 eggs!

I remember seeing a link, and it was to tanks that people have made using a bit of imagination. It had one tank where their where layers, with caves built into them, then sand was on top. This was a really bad explanation but I cannot think of it clearly enough.

I doubt if I would get a male and female of each specie. I would have to get 3, I'm not going to try breed them but have fun rasing them, I might get three of each Royal but I'm going to stick with two at the moment. All I have to do is find them LOL.

So my filter is all good?

I would like to do a wet/dry but lack the knowledge to do it, id prefer to stick to the canister. I'm going to get two for I have changed my fish to all current dwelling fish, so shouldn't be a problem .I'm going to get 2x aquaone 2400 so I should get around 18x turn over. Here is my stocking list ...

I'm getting 3 royal plecos but I am having a hard time choosing between the...

L027
L027b
L027c

I was thinking about getting one of each. How long would it take these royal to get to around 1'? If I got one of each would their be any fighting or any other issues? Also have these fish been breed in ...

I don't mind doing maintance on the tank, I'm not shore what L # Royal I want yet, if I use one 2200 that's 2200 LPH turning over my tank 7 TPH. But if I added 2 then that 14.
Their is a larger model 2400 but I cannot find anything on it. Royal's are one of the most beautiful plecos and to keep 5 I ...

Panaque's are poo machine so you will need superior filtration. I suggest one of the new models of fluval and if money isn't a problem id get 2 fluval 405. You will have a good amount of current, but you will need to keep up water changes.

Nice Tank Lots of hiding places for your plecos

I am soon to be starting a 71 gal tank/281 liter aquarium. The filter being the most important piece of equipment. I have a choice of filter and cost.

aquaone 2200 in stock normal price $359 your price $299
FX5 is normally $695 your price $595



Now I could get two aquaone filters for the price of ...
