Desktop Aquatics Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Just as the title says I’m trying something new for myself. I got a trio of psuedomugil Mellis and am putting them in a 25 gallon Tuff Stuff round tub. It’s planted with some Amazon swords, rowtala and some various floaters. There’s a large sponge filter in the middle for aeration and water movement. This is my first time keeping these fish and also maintaining a pond but I’ll keep this updated with progress and hopefully Fry sooner than later! Let me know what you think and any pond tips! 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Keep us updated on your success. I was going to try tubs outside on the deck this year for my luminatus and gertrudae. Hubby decided to redo the deck this year so I will live vicariously through you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Following as well. I bred some Pseudomugil Cyanodordalis a couple years ago and had a blast - I've been itching to set up some more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desktop Aquatics Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 @Chris that’s awesome I’m thinking of setting up a tank for that species as well! Super fun fish to watch. Small update today, I got my first fertilized eggs I pulled the 3 I found will try raising them inside the rest I think will stay outside for the time being keep the strong fry out there and try to have fun with the couple I bring in! So far so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desktop Aquatics Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 Got some fry going on in the pond! Hoping they are psuedomugil fry and not hitch hiking eggs from the plants 😂 here’s some pics I got of the pond today it’s really growing out nicely! Also might be grabbing 6 more for the pond to help fill out my colony! They are super reclusive in this pond, they darken up with the substrate and blend in well but I can account for all 3 which is good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desktop Aquatics Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 Update! Lots of fry despite the extreme heat we have in Tucson lately. It’s been 105+ the last 2 weeks and they are growing and breeding like crazy still! Water temps have been 80-90 which is a little high but nothing out of their normal range. the picture below is peak temp mid day which is lower than I expected 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
