Hi I agree with Barbie - 27°C arent that much - put up the temperature to 29°C. Take care, that the food ends up exactly where they hide. With 3 cm they aren't that experienced in looking for food themselves. Myself I make a nice bunch of hidings in one little area and take care that the current wil...

Hello There is a lot of ways to spend money ;) Here an example: Flight Britain - Switzerland - Switzerland - Britain: 130 £ totally (we had a visit once from Britain, that was the price for 1 person) Okay - probably an fine offer ;) Zebra Youngsters 5 cm swissmade from LFS: 75 £ each Invite a dear f...

Hello Common tablets, granulates for discus and my own recipe for frozen food. The ones, you can find everywhere and improve yourself with your own fantasy ;) I f.ex. add a little garlic.

Hello Plastic Mac Quite interesting. You see, I have always practised daily water changes. And my youngsters for sure reach 1 inch - but within 3 months of age. My spawn of 30.10.07 are already close to an inch. But I change a lot of water, run an UVC and so on. Think, this is important. I only feed...

Hello Zebrapl3co Sorry, but I think, I have to disagree slightly with your statements. :) You see, I run an statistic database. A fellow breeder and good friend of mine naturally register every spawn there. It came so, that I bought 20 youngsters from him. Exactly 15,5 Month from hatch - they spawne...

Hello Here cardinals are Tanichthys albonubes, but who knows with differences in languages and so :? Don't know how the quality is by you - but here the neons are often of too bad quality. They often dies. Personally I would never again take neons again. The rummynoses are swimming a lot more beauti...

Well- the red Neon (Paracheirodon axelrodi) do not mind the warm water. It's one of the other kinds, who prefers it colder. Innisi or simulans. Don't know it anymore. But they hide a lot, if the current are too strong. Rummynoses (Hemigrammus bleheri) are perfect - as they do not mind the current th...

Beautifull !!

I was thinking about... has anyone ever seen (back to the time where they were exported) such old wildcaught directly from the habitat?

Or are they only getting that old under safe aquarium conditions?
