Stealth Aquatics Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Thanks! I am just getting into breeding fish, and I love it so much. I’ll definitely keep everyone updated on my adventures.

Stealth Aquatics Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 L134 Leopard Frogs are settling in for their first night. 4 out of 5 made their journey 😔. I will probably buy 2 more to get a group of 6 for my breeding project. I have wanted these fish since I started keeping fish (2 years) but I wanted to get my feet underneath me. I already love them. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Put the 5g in, your hatchery can sit on top of one of the other tanks. If it leaks no big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Aquatics Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Took out my S reopens carpet last night because it was losing its older leaves to make new ones. (Slacked on root tabs) and I think the tank looks sooo much better now. I have to replant some pleats that are floating but I like the tank better now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Aquatics Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 Moved my sterbai juveniles to a 20 gallon grow out tank. Collected the most recent spawn from my adult sterbai. Keep em rolling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Aquatics Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 An update on my small, but profitable fish room. My 4 leopard frog plecos are doing great, 1 DOA. I wish I had 5. But they are more active now in the tank. My sterbai Corys are about big enough for the store. I have about 40 of them. Idk if the store will take them or not for cash, but if they don’t I’ll take store credit and transition to more shrimp and guppies. I have about 12 apistogramma macmasteri that are just now starting to color a little, so they will go to a store soon? If the store really want only store credit, then I’ll transition to plan b, which is fine because I make a lot of money off of shrimp and eBay. Enjoy! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 @Stealth Aquatics it sounds like you’re having second thoughts on breeding Apistos and corys - is it that the LFS won’t pay you what they’re worth or the difficulty of raising them vs ease of shrimp and guppies?

I am not sure how the lfs will treat me as I haven’t sold to them yet. I did the corys more as a side project as my shrimp sales fund literally my whole small fish room. So if they just give credit that is ok…. But not ideal. They don’t populate as fast as guppies obviously, but for ease I’ll probably switch to guppies and shrimp as I have 2 little kids 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 @Stealth Aquatics I am asking as I am setting up a 40 g that will be a breed for fish food and supplies tank with 2 types of plecos - hypancistrus and ancistrus as well as corys. I’ve been debating on doing a small livebearer as well but was concerned about cory eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my sterbai corys in with my guppy colony on my 40 breeder and I never saw a Cory egg at all I saw them breed, but no eggs remained. Once I singled them out I got eggs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 @Stealth AquaticsThat’s what I’d thought was that having the corys and plecos together but no guppies may be the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
