Tested my water.
Temp- 82 F
Ph ~8.2
Kh ~7degrees(?) took 7 drops from the API bottle to change color
Gh- Im not sure as I still didn’t detect a color change after 22 drops.

My F1 eques spawned either yesterday evening or very early this morning. I leave my tanks unheated during the summer so they have had a 3mo cool period. Saturday I did a 50% water change with cool water and turned the heaters back on. Yesterday, the male were chasing the females and moving into a T ...

I have run dirted/walstadt ish tanks. I cap the dirt with sand separated with a fiberglass window screen. I don’t know that I ever read any of her literature so my tanks have always been filtered and had water changes. My cory tanks now are planted but only use a sand substrate about 2in deep. Plant...

Your platy looks normal. I have three spotted golf balls rolling around my 260g. They’re beggars too. Anytime I’m in the room they are out wanting food.

Feeding time!!

Yes it’s metal, brass coloured, and I think painted. There was, if I remember correctly, a set but I can’t remember which others were included.

Because they’re hiding

Message willievaughn@hotmail.com he might have some available and he does ship.

I get some friendly teasing about my fish that never get seen. So, here are four of them. Of course that teasing never comes from members here, lol.

I would like to see my woodcats spawn. I have T. Intermedia, T. Gyrina, and T. musaica.

Counting bumblebees

Super cool. Rather jealous of you wild collectors.

Doing water changes and filter cleanings so I caught all nine Centromochlus musaicus to sex. 5 males and 4 females. Moved three of the males to other tanks as I noticed torn fins. One is missing the anal fin together.

Wow, super cool.

Well, the fungus came back with a vengeance. I was able to source some Fritz maracyn and maracyn 2. I did the 5 day course of maracyn and then started the M2. Unfortunately, it was not enough. The fuzz had started to spread to the edges of the scales along the body.

I like to use panko bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Lightly bread them and then fry in butter. Have lemon quarters available too

Coryclown isn’t on here much. Best to use the email in the first post or check aquabid.

They will be more active in low light tanks. Mine come out when they smell food.

O. Eigenmani are a by catch and not super common. Here are my two with a striped raphael. 75F0D70F-55B3-4E58-AEB9-1B017ABEF8AF.jpeg 67B301D4-122C-46E8-AC53-DC0D9ACA7EC0.jpeg 24D2700C-1FB3-4CA2-BC88-279D3D0C8F4D.jpeg 9132C39C-6D24-4B0D-8860-8EC6125F1E06.jpeg 67A0D2C8-1E40-466A-A12A-D4502324B278.jpeg

Looks like a stripped Raphael (p. armatulus) to me. I both armatulus and o. eigenmani. The eigenmani have a much more sloped head than the armatulus. Feed once a day if with other fish that are more aggressive feeders or once every three days if not. These guys have a tendency to turn into golf ball...

Any thoughts on breeding these? Is it the same as other Tatia such as T intermedia? Yes, that is the plan. I would like to add more females. I passed on 3 this last week because they were all males. I believe the spawning habits are similar. I have a trio of T. intermedia (1F/2M) that will hopefull...

Mine are quite different, which I think means that they are adult colouration, is that correct?

I'm not sure about the juvie/adult differences in coloration. I have only had mine for a few months and only see them at feeding time.

I have aeneus and similis in a 24in/60cm deep tank with no issues. I had the aeneus in a 30in/75cm deep tank without any issues and they were spawning in that tank too.

Super cool. Found the little guy.

I agree that those are not T. Galaxias. I have T. intermedia and gyrina. You could also do akysis prashadi or vespa. Haven't been bred in the aquarium but stay small. I have prashadi. My micro cats are housed in 29g aquariums. I have the intermedia in with swordtails and the gyrina with redhead tapa...

Unplugged all the heaters for the summer. Tanks maintain about 75F through the heat wave.

Quite possibly. I have 3 T. Intermedia but haven't had any spawns yet. Awesome.

Not sure what to do with this guy. Moved him from the 10g to the 220g since it is constantly water changing hoping the larger tank will help.

I think their improving. I did a manual removal of the fungus a few days or so ago for the Hoplo. Doesn't seem to be coming back. Raph is losing the red coloring.

I noticed that too after snapping the pic. I have my hospital set up so snagging this one out is in order I think.
