  1. Hi all,

    This was the best place I could think of posting these questions because this is off-topic section. 

    So I have a large fish room in my basement but a small one in my bedroom. About 13 tanks in my 10x11 room and I have my bed and closet and such in the room as well, because that's my bedroom. So as you can probably imagine there is very slim space. I do have some stuff I can get rid of and some rearrengments that would free up my desk and a little more. 

     

    I live stream on youtube twice and weeks and plan on expanding to other social media platforms in the future. I want to try and create a nice, small, budget streaming setup on my desk and here are my ideas.

     

    1-2 Monitors - I have 2 TVs Im not using so I could pull up live chat on one and my streaming service on the other (looked online and see most streamers use two, even KGTropicals)

    I have a Blue Yeti Microphone - yeah not exactly a budget microphone but it is one of the best so I've heard

    I have a webcam with a small ring light on it

    Maybe a small light to clip to the desk

    Computer Desktop PC

    Keyboard and Mouse

     

    I may actually have some of this laying around but I was wondering if anyone has any good places to find these and if anybody streams on here what do they use?

    Here’s some updated pics of the fry. 309512DC-999F-441B-BF52-083A804AD503.jpeg.c8ac1f6e25c9af12a0bc30e66590fc73.jpeg6684BBC6-FB66-4529-B5F3-DCEAAA1F0D81.jpeg.60bdb5de9510441116b2d56c3677a8ba.jpeg

    They now look like proper little ricefish. I’m going to start working on their long term home soon they’ll be in for the next year until I put them out next spring. 

    What did you feed them to grow them so fast?

    My first live is vinegar eels mostly because I have them handy. I also will use a mortar and pestle to grind my regular adult food to the appropriate fry food size.  For a breeder box method on kribs id try vinegar eels, the fine dry foods, and a small piece of driftwood or some mulm in the breeder box for the microscopic critters / food source benefit. I would try fine foods and whatever you have for small live and see what they take. Id guess live baby brine might encourage a bit more feeding with the movement whenever they get big enough for it. 

    I generally loose some fry early along the way occasionally all and chalk that up to unavoidable loss from some sort of internal genetic issue. I generally do not want those to remain in my fish anyway.

    For cichlid I usually leave them with the parents for a week or two minimim if the parents are exhibiting any level of care. One portion of my crenicichla regani fry were left with the parents for 2 weeks  the rest 58 days. The group left for 58 days were bigger, more outgoing, and much better feeders for all foods. I would consider leaving at least some with the parents whenever thats an option because I can not sunstitute for that 24/7 care,forst foods, behavioral examples, and sense of security the fry recieve from the parents. 

     

    Thank you so much!

  4. Hi all,

    I have a breeding project in a 75 gallon tank, Kribensis and Cherry Barbs. Now I know the cherry barbs won't breed in there but we are taking a pair out today. This may be confusing but I'll sort of list it below

    75g Tank with 12 Kribs and 8 Kribensis

    Over a lot of months fighting and die offs led to 2 pairs of kribs and 4 extra males, and 6 cherry barbs (5 males to 1 female)

    Moved 1 pair of Nigerian Reds to a 20 H to breed, Other pair still in there

    That pair has had 2 small batches of babies before, first time they ate them, second time they started eating them so we moved the babies to a net breeder box and the babies got stuck and none survived. Most don't like doing Kribs for profit but I'd like to try and spawn almost every fish. This is the third spawn, huge (50+) babies, they have survived a few days but now a lot disappear. We are sucking the babies out of the tank with airline hose (because of gentle flow) and a small bucket. We are doing this because I want to try and save the babies. 

     

    My big question here is what do they babies eat. They are going on one of those hang on the side breeder boxes that are all plastic and have a gentle bubble flow, continuously  circulating water throughout.I know that the parents take them throughout the tank and let them eat detritus and microorganisms, the parents also take any bits of food and crush them to a fine dust for the babies. So would small vinegar eels work? Or maybe Walter/Banana worms? Or would they be large enough for microworms? I have them all

  5. Very cool! @RogueAquarium

    @Beardedbillygoat1975Very nice! Ricefish are super fun in my opinion, and I love making threads like these to see what everyone has breeding, it gives me new breeding project ideas.

    @tolstoy21Sounds like a fun project!

    @ColuAwesome! I am trying to spawn 4 different kinds of BN plecos (Choc S/F and L/F and Albino S/F and L/F)

    @egruttumNo rules defining what a breeding project is, as long as it's making more of itself

    @Ben P.I love discus too, I have very soft and slightly acidic well water so they are growing out nicely in my water, will breed in future. Maybe you have just female mystery snails? I heard they can continuously lay infertile eggs clutches

    @lefty oWow very cool! Congratulations on the BN plecos! 

     

    @KylecBest of luck with the apistos

    Currently have fry for apisto cacatuoides, tons of guppies (outdoor in ground pond) angelfish and glolight tetra. 
     

    Would love for my otos to breed but have no idea how to. 

    In ground pond sounds cool! Apistos are such a cool fish, trying to spawn some wild ones.

    Writing it down makes me come to terms with my nermdom. I imagine im not alone 🙂

    Fry I have / recent spawns:

    Pao palustris Mekong River Puffer, Crenicichla Regani Rio Tapajos (dwarf pike), Flag fish (miracle fry included), Limia Perugia Boca de Cachon, Bolivian Rams, African Butterfly Cichlid, Variatus Platys, Characodon Lateralis Los Berros, Egyptian Mouthbrooder Multicolor Victorae

    Working on spawining in order of expected fry:

    Pao Baileyi Hairy Puffer, Crenicichla Orinoco (dwarf pike), Pelvicachromis taeniatus Moliwe (kribs), Pelvicachromis subocellatus Moanda (kribs), Clown Killifish, African Butterfly Fish, Panda loach, Khuli loach, Dwarf chain loach,  Panaqolus sp. Gold Stripe Panaque
    L169,  Hypancistrus debilittera, Colombian Zebra Pleco L129

    Those L number mature colonys arent fans of reproducing for me yet but soon hopefully. 

    I also expect to try dragon puffers eventually but will always have hairy puffers. My favorite puffer by far to this point.  

    Wow sound like you have a nice selection. How big of a tank do hairy puffers need? They look really cool almost like they were stitched together.

    Good topic!

     

    Currently breeding : mixed endlers, cherry shrimp and finally my L270's

    Trying to breed : super reds (too young) and angels ( not sure if pair)

    Will breed eventually : L600's but currently only 4 months old. While to wait with these ones. 😆

    Very cool! Cherry shrimp I find are super fun to breed, the shrimplets are adorable. If you breed your L600 definatley make a breeding journal and tag me in it!

  10. Summer Tub

    Not very pretty but we have bent pvc to support the fish net and tarp. Fish net so no bears and such get in we are in the Adirondacks. Tarp for warmth with the cold and hot days we have. Styrofoam holding pothos. Then some water hyacinth and water lettuce. We have some white clouds and giant longfin danios in there and a shrimp. First year summer tubbing so go easy!20210712_130913.jpg.ec6d2b29d29a68367a0eae54057b9de0.jpg
