    My first snail eggs ever soo must be feeding enough. Snails climbing each other which may have led to the eggs. Lol No pic but I’m feeding some lettuce that’s a bit strong for me they seem to like.

    I bought a 40 with plans to scape it for a living room show tank.

    It’s nice to see fish rush over for repashy. I’ve read some are more picky but I’ve had luck with cichlids, tetras and guppies.

    Good point on freezing, it wasn’t coming out for me and I froze it to keep it fresh longer. I did notice it came out easy after. (I’ve only made it once but I did make a gelatin homemade version years ago)

    Thanks for the input. I have microworms going now so I’ll use those. I have Walter worms but they are taking off slowly.

    Vinegar eels last a long time in the water so it’s what I plan to feed my super reds when they start breeding and repashy. It’s worth a try.

    They come in water wet and fertilized from the parent fish.

    my 2 cents. I have plans to bring my guppy fry to my fall fish auction. Having a plan is important since only one of mine had fry so far and i have 10 fry. The other female is bigger so...haha. Backup tubs in case my tanks are overwhelmed.

    my guppies have been eating it when my filter pushes them under water they dart in eating part or all. A reason to avoid is if selling at an auction say many won't bid on your lot if they see any duckweed. i'm not as fastidious knowing i can get after it if needed. Maybe you could blend some duckweed up and add to Repashy if you make that. If you don't have it maybe try water lettuce or search for the large leaf duckweed which is a large morph of it. maybe avoid it if you can find other things that are easily weeded out when they overproduce themselves.

    Both should have their color and the female should have eggs. Years ago i raised them and even though the female is pale there is a silvery sheen that's clear when healthy which i'm sure you've seen. at least a week but i've read 10 days between spawnings to condition. I'd suggest if you see the female is full of eggs and you are keeping an eye on them earlier might be possible. it depends on the food, temps and possibly the time of year. This is an interesting little fish!

    One of my dragon guppy females, one of the most colorful famales i've had. Surpise guppy babies! The plants seemed to help the babies hide. i ordered a breeder that separates the fry i'll use if the fry numbers seem too low. There are many more hiding in the plants. I'm thinking i'll summer tub with these. Still a bit early but getting closer. I'll try to get good pictures as the fry color up and separating once i can tell them apart is the plan.

    I ordered some Rice fish eggs too, I hope all is well with yours. Any tips on feeding them? I'm curious, how did/are you hatching the eggs?
  14. Cmike15
    What are your plans to feed them if I may ask? I’m interested as I plan to raise up fry but I have little experience besides piling in the plants! I just started up my microworm colony again trying out vinegar eels too.
  15. Cmike15
    Good luck with the breeding. I did it years ago with two corners of Java moss and they bred in the tank. Mine after a year would eat micro worm sized flake rarely but almost exclusively live foods. I branched off into small cichlids when I couldn’t find any female scarlet badis. if the female is getting chased I’d suggest separating them since I lost a female but maybe you have enough hiding spaces in the main tank.

    Adding on I have dragon blood cichlids now, and Congo cichlids. I have a crushed oyster shell substrate and adding in sand that I recently just got in. I wanted to have the right one, I found filtered pool sand that cleaned up rather quickly. The Congo cichlid is called Pseudocrenliabrus Pyrrhocaudalis. 3” adult size and mouth brooders. I’m going to work on keeping the water parameters stable, they are tank raised and between 6.8-7.4 I was told. (7.2) I’ll check periodically if the shells need to be replenished since my water is a bit lower ph. I’ve seen a few spellings for it but it seems to hold true that they mainly get along I’ll just need more line of site breaks. They do well with plants like the apistogramma except maybe some digging.
