I toss in a large coop sponge filter to prevent pond scum on the surface. Feed the fry 2-3 times a day. Mostly first bites and brine shrimp.

Curious, what would a red cap crossed with a platinum look like? Has anyone messed with different strains before? Is redcap recessive? Have about 4 red caps but a bunch of platinums

I’m guessing it’s two males sparring. Are the females that colored up??
Honestly don't know, got them from someone moving. I put them in and.this is the first time they sparred.

id pick a rasbora, and toss in some shrimp, or more guppies, and shrimp. hard to go wrong with guppies, and more guppies LOL. white clouds are supposed to do very well in tubs too.
What kind do you recommend. I have a 100 gallon with guppies and white clouds already and the other hundred with platinum medaka

@Mako13 That’s looks awesome. Pending what your weather temp is you can do so much! Shrimp, rainbow fish, livebearers, cichlids, pleco the list is almost endless. Are you trying to breed for profit or just have some fun?
If I can breed for profit to cover the hobby that would be fine with me, this is super fun though haha.

First go at Pond setups. Added a 300, (2) 100's and ill have 3 more 50s all setup.
Decided to try putting up a greenhouse type setup (cheapy)
So far its doing well with my platinum medakas and guppies. Going to start adding some species in the 300
Any suggestions?-

Trying to figure out what it is. Looks like a Sculpin?

No they lay clear eggs also..it takes about 3 days before white cloud egg will hatch
I checked mop on a whim and found 1 egg, my first egg!
On 6/2/2021 at 8:46 PM, GHSEZG said:The WCMM have been in there for about 4 months and the Medaka for ~1month. It has been pretty cold until a heat wave in the last few days. The bottom of the tub is full of plants in terracotta pots with pebbles that the WCMM live amongst so I hardly ever see them. And if the WCMM are dropping eggs in amongst the pebbles and pots I would never know. And I had a bunch of floating plants, but I realized a few days ago I would never find the eggs with the floating plants so I removed most of them and added the mops. I only have 5 Medaka but there appears to be 2 males and 3 females.

Well, I tossed my King Betta Halfmoon and my female Crowntail into a 1 gallon divided tank to get use to each other for a couple days. I left a tiny gap to allow for more water on each side. Well, somehow the lady got through and now I have fertilized eggs. A good thing since this big guy killed 2 other females. Sucks because its on half of the divided side.
Can I move them or should i just let them hatch?-

So I have Platinum Medaks and Golden White Cloud Mountain Minnows and a spawning mop in a 100 gallon outdoor Rubbermaid tub. And there are eggs visible in the spawning mop. Any way to tell which eggs they are? How about if I separate them out and they hatch into fry? Can I tell them apart as fry? How old until they get big enough to tell apart? At what point will I be able to differentiate the species? Thank you for your input!
Sounds Exactly like my setup. How long did it take before you got eggs? Been trying for 2 months with my Platinum Medaks. I have 24 of them right now

Maybe its all the heaters that are running. Most of my tanks are in the garage and it gets cold until June starts warming it up. I have RAMs, Angels, Apistos so most of my tanks need to be heated

Just curious, what are you guys averaging for your electric bill?
I've noticed a.significant.difference prior and agter I started.the hobby. Almost doubled, I do have quite a few tanks though

Hey all,
My female super red decided to lay some eggs in the cave. I saw alot of salmon colored eggs on the top of the cave at night one day. Next day I go and check and they are gone. Is it common for the female/male to eat them? -

That really all depend on your setup and fish(themselves).
But I alway bred more babies with less fish. 2 pair gives me 100s of babies.
Nice, maybe ill take some out and see if I can get them going

Sold to me as Australian Rainbows. The yellow was super vivid when I picked up. In Quarantine right now but just curious if these are actually rainbows?
