    Spawning behavior?

    Sam kindly bestowed upon me a group of Betta Patoti - what appears to be 3 males and 1 female. They are being temporarily held in my 29 gallon while I work on the whiskey barrel pond that will be their eventual home. Tonight I was watching them and noticed what I first took for aggression...

    Festae spawning for the first time

    Got some first time festae spawning action last night! This is my personal first as a hobbiest and I've kept lots of featae over the years. These little guys are F1 Ecuadorian from the west coast. A little back story on these guys. I got them about two weeks ago, they were not advertised as a...

    Alternative Spawning Surfaces.

    H Everyone, My angels seem more interested in my filter intake than the spawning slate. Then I looked around my room and was noticing the shape of a beer bottle and thought it would be an interesting surface. But I wanted to ask you all: does beer glass leech any unsavory chemicals in the...

    Corydoras spawning

    In my 55, I have some Gold Lasers (CW010) and some Yellow Corydoras (C123). Neither have spawned while in this particular tank, over the last six months or so. Tuesday, I moved the spraybar to increase the circulation in the tank. I also noticed that the Marineland Visitherm heater wasn't...

    GBR spawning video

    Found my GBR couple depositing and fertilizing eggs Wednesday night, and took a short video. I moved the rock with the eggs into another tank last night, because I didn't think the fry would survive with the tetras in the tank. B5nssIwqXc4&feature=player_detailpage It's a little dark, but...

    Spawning Electric Blue German Rams

    All, I have 6 German Rams, 3 regular females, 1 regular male, and 2 electric blue males. They have been rotating partners and spawning constantly in my planted 92 gallon aquarium. I am more interested in the dwarf shrimp than my rams, and my shrimp can not breed as fast as the rams can eat...

    c123 Spawning Report

    I bought six yellow corydoras, c123, from MAB last fall. He caught them last August on the Rio Nanay in Peru. They fattened up nicely, but I hadn't seen any signs of breeding activity. They had been in a community tank and also in a tank that housed only corydoras, but included two other...

    Betta patoti spawning!

    A few meetings ago, I picked up two Betta patoti from our auction...they were very much an impulse buy. The next meeting, I found out that they were Jesse's and Tony had a single, lonely female that he brought to me to add to the group. Well, I go to see what's going on in my community tank on...

    Jaguar Cichlid Spawning

    On Monday I purchased a 8 inch Jaguar Male and placed him in a tank with my 6 inch female Jaguar. On Wed I had driftwood covered in Jaguar eggs! I can't believe this happened so quick! The male has now buried the eggs in the sand. I will post when the fry arrive. Enjoy the photos...

    Too much spawning

    Way too much spawning going on here. And now the babies are having babies. What is the best way to remove unwanted babies? Remove eggs? Remove wigglers? Remove free swimmers? Obviously seperating mates would work. My Nics are alone in the 46g and spawn. These guys only spawn every three...

    Gold Ram Spawning

    My Gold Ram pair spawned. I conditioned with live blackworms and upped the water changes. They have spawned in the past in a community tank, but I think the eggs ended up getting eaten. The water is Fairfax County tap water. Will the eggs hatch in hard water or should I try doing a water...

    Cory spawning trick

    I forget where I saw it. Was it Eric Bodrock's presentation? Anyway, some presentation I went to showed a cory tank with lots of pea gravel/river stones covering the bottom. The idea was that if any baby cories hatched, they would fall in the between the crevices of the stones, so the adults...

    Angels Spawning in tank w/ 1 week old fry

    These angels spawned again with the 1 week old fry in the same tank. Notice the fry eating the eggs in the later half of the video. I did move the fry out after I stopped videoing, but the parents ate the eggs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCJKLHn2FY4

    Yellow lab spawning behavior

    Yesterday I observed my yellow labs breeding behavior as different and peculiar. I noticed in my group the one female spawning with multiple males. Is there anything I should be concerned about far as any abnormalities with the fry? Out of many years of breeding cichlids this is the first time I...
