raising

This process is a first for me.. and I want to do it right. So I have isolated my holding "electric blue" johanni. First off know one told me it would take removing all the rocks and chasing her for an hour around my 125g. My back is killing me!!! Anyway I plan to strip her Thursday if she does...

I have 2 20gallon african cichlid tanks, and I didn't use the african cichlid sand or any texas holey rock. Can I bag some crushed coral and raise my ph? And how much should I use? My tap water is 7.5 and I want to get my aquarium ph to 8.0 and suggestions?

I've got a few cultures of copepods (I'm guessing they're cyclops) going.....one from a purchased culture, one from a clump of java moss that got left in a collection cup with tank water under some light. I think I'm starting to have enough of them to begin feeding to my fry. Anyone else...

I've recently moved to Albany, NY and the water isn't nearly as hard as it was at college or in Virginia. My water has settled in the mid 7's and I'd like to bump that up a bit without using chemicals (I'm fine with chemistry but I don't like chems). I'm looking into getting some crushed coral...

I just finished reading the looong old thread about raising red wigglers. I have been growing more interested in providing live food to my fish. I keep mostly CA and SA cichlids in community tanks with various tetras. I am going to start a bin of white worms(thanks Christine) for my nano tank...

So my pair of GBR did a really good job on their last spawn. The fries are around 3 weeks old now and have basically doubled/tripled in size. I guess my question is, should I pull the parents out or continue as is, where both parents are in the tank. The mom won't let the dad anywhere near...

Hello everyone Im new to raising fry and my acei just spawned. I had some questions about what to do because my demonsi spawned twice and they were all eaten. I want to try my hand at raising fry. Questions: 1) when should i take the acei out of the take and put it into the other tank ?? 2)...

I have a proven parent raisng pair of Albinbo red spotted green discus for sale for $300. Please note Albino fry are a little bit trickier to raise than normal eye colored discus, (supposedly they have a harder time seeing their parents to eat their slime), but this pair produces regular spawns...

I have a Orange Koi pair which is parent raising to rehome. If anyone wants it , please make me a reasonable offer. If there is no interest here, I will put them up on AB in a week. Thanks! Nagesh

My archocentrus centrarchus pair spawned for the first time in months a few days ago. They are in a big tank with a bunch of other fish, so I decided to pull a good portion of the fry today and moved them into their own tank. I'd like to grow these guys out and get some more around the area...

Beautiful Gold/Marble parent raising angel pair for sale. They have had 3 spawns for me so far. Very healthy and nice fins. The Marble is the female which shows some blue (probably a single dose pb). Less than a year old. PM me if interested. Price $40.00 Thanks!

I have heard that adding Baking soda or powder will raise the ph in your tank. Is this true and if so which one the soda or the powder?

Does anyone here raise daphnia indoors? Is it easy and inexpensive to do? Paul

Hi! In the Old World forum, a side discussion has been started on the effects of letting parents raise their fry, and how it effects their fry. I would like to start a discussion on this, but relating to all fish that will raise their own young. So, have any of you done any experiments on...
