  1. Hello

     

    Has anyone experience with breeding coral red Pencilfish?

     

    I have a group of 12 swimming in a 20 long right now and have two 5g and a 10g without fish in it right now. 

     

    I would like to try to set them up to breed. 

    Looking for some help and advice on how to do it.

    Like what to feed to condition them, separate male and females,  how to prepare spawning tank, what substrate to spawn them, how to raise the eggs and young fish

     

    Water parameters of course 

    Just everything that would help me to be successful. 

     

    Thank you very much 

     

  2. Hello 

     

    I am building currently a semi auto water change system for my aquarium rack. 

    The tap water will be going through a 3 stage filter system (sediment, gac, cto) to a water manifold to supply fresh water to all the tanks.

     

    I would like to put in a water temperature mixing valve before it enters the 3 stage filter to be able to adjust water temperature.

    My problem is I can only find mixing valves with a water mixing temperature rating above 80⁰F. But I want to make water changes in the low to mid 70⁰F range.

     

    Does anyone can point me in the right direction of finding the right mixing valve or has an other suggestion on how to accomplish the temp adjustment easily. 

     

    Thank you for all your help in advance.

    Welcome to the forum! It sounds like you got bit by the MTS, and have a nice selection of fish there. Are you trying to spawn any of them?

    Sorry for the very late reply.  Yes I try to spawn all fish I keep. All the plecos are still to young for breeding but the apistos multiplying like rabbits.

     

    Current fish I keep

    A. borellii 

    A. trifisciata red

    A. viejita 

    A. hongsloi II

    A. cacatuoides 

    A. panduro 

    A. ortegai 

    Nannostomus mortenthaleri

    Danio margaritatus 

    Thank you

    My name is Toby and live in Canada.

    Just found that forum today and signed up right away.

    I am watching the aquarium co-op videos on youtube for some time now.

    Not a newbie to the aquarium hobby but after a 10 year break back at it and still loving it. 

     

    Currently I have 13 tanks, 12- 20gallon long and a fluval bow front. Fish I am keeping at this moment apistogramma cacatuoides , panduro , ortegai , l134 leopard frog, l201 Orinoco angel, l129 Colombian zebra 

     

    Looking forward to lots of reading, learning and sharing of information
