does anyone know if julie is still selling mbuna?

I have been ignoring the multis lately because they weren't "doing anything" noticeable over in the shell bed. So I glanced at them and saw something small drifting around. Leftover gunk? No! My first multi fry! Can't tell yet how many. Two for sure. I have had the 1m/3f parents since Christmas...

Just a quick and hopeful note to say that my beautiful pair of Paratilapia polleni have a tank full of fry. Their reproduction is not a simple event. There was much courtship but no fighting or lip-locking at all. Bo danced spirals for the female while standing on his head--it looked like...

You know it's going to be a rough morning when you wake up to MTS lined up at the water line of your tank! I'd pulled up all the plants, removed the "extra" pair of rainbow cichlids and did a pretty good (though not great) gravel vac on Saturday as my favorite pair of rainbows was raising a...

Just went to feed them and they started spitting babies out all over the place. Given that they share a tank with 10 medium to large yellow and red firemouths, about 20 Buenos Aries and Columbian tetras, 6 Biotodomo cupidos and ten huge Corydoras robustus (and friends) I''m moderately amazed...

OK, I realize that for most of you, this would be cause for a big yawn. But it's super exciting for me!! This is my 45 gallon blue orchid tank. 3M-5F and 6 lucippinis. I've had females hold occasionally, but never saw any fry. This morning, just as I turned on the light to feed, I suddenly saw...

So my gorgeous male HRP Rio Danli from Matt hooked up with my female LFS HRP a while back. Mom has since been killed but the babies are growing out nicely. They are about 1/2-3/4" now. Getting some blue coloring. You can see how much longer and skinnier they are than Cons urMK9Y6tS5s The dad...

My beautiful male HRP from Matt and female "Electric Blue Con" hybrid have free swimmers. Although hybrids, the babies should be very blue and pretty. I will grow some out and see. Interesting that the male lost most of the red/orange. I guess those were courting colors? Dad Mom ...Bill

As some of you know, I'm a bit obsessed with my rainbow cichlid pair. In July, I snagged six fry to try my hand at raising them myself. Two survived and grew large enough that I returned them on Saturday to the planted 58-gallon with their parents, tetras, cories and ABNs. I'd guess the two are...

So -- the ongoing saga of my dysfunctional rainbow cichlid pair, who have had five or so broods in the past several months -- but none of the fry last beyond three weeks or so. Each time, one of the parents has shoved the other away from the eggs and raised the babies alone. Same thing this...

The wrigglers are now free-swimming. There's about a gazillion of them. Mom and Dad seem a bit overwhelmed. This is what I think is going on: Babies: Woo hoo! OOh, let's swim here. Oooh, let's swim over there. Weeeeee. Look at all this stuff. Hey, cool. Mom and Dad: Get over here, junior...

I have some discus in my 150. There are 14 of them in there. Been having problems with them and their fins. Anyway I guess the water must be okay. This is in the middle. Discus fry. I wanted to get better shots but the parents and the other Discus come to see me and the other fish...

I don't spend much time near their tank so they tend to stress when I'm around. In this 1 min video you can see how the blue fades from me being in there face. It's usually not this bad but I think the red eye of the camera was feaking them out. The blues are amazing when I view them from across...

momma cac protecting babies from daddy and his disgruntled face

Uncle Ruckus was kind enough to sell me some Jewel Cichlids earlier this year and the biggest female got cozy with a male I picked up from Tropical Lagoon on Sunday. I went into the basement this morning to find that the female laid eggs on a piece of driftwood. Lucky for me it was in a corner...

A cichlid in my community tank had a baby or some babies. I was watching my tank and I seen one baby hiding in a rock. My bi-color female is setting between a rock and a wall by herself and only eats very little. Maybe she was the mother. I hope the little one survives.

Bristle nose Pleco babies, I just found some in my pleco only tank, 1 male 3 females,1 albino cory, 20 gal high with sponge filters, What do I do next? they still have egg sacks. Do i need to remove others or what? I've been waiting a year for this day.bought them when they were still very...
