I have a couple pair but every time they seem to lay, too few hatch to wigglers and the parents just eat them. I think this one is special as I have a lot of them and the parents are moving the fry to a new location. Unfortunately I think they will still end up dying as they are in a display...
I was delighted to come home tonight to see one of my astatheros longimanus females all colored up (for as much as they can) and chasing everything in the tank away from a clay pot. Low and behold, there is a pile of wigglers in the bottom of the pot. Not sure which of the males is the father...
I'm looking for a starter culture of red wigglers. I'm also looking for live black worms, 1/4-1/2 lbs.
Anyone have some? I can come to the meetings to pick up if that works for you.
Hey guys. I'm trying to start a compost bin and if anyone has some extra wigglers they could sell me (to avoid the whole shipping process/fees) that would be great. I read they double every 90 days so I'm not sure exactly how many I would need to start. I guess part of it depends on the usage of...
A few weeks ago I picked up some angels from Pat for my SA community tank. two marble Angels paired off and spawned on the back glass and then moved the wiglers to a driftwood branch. This is day 5 after the spawn, 3 more days they should be free swimming.
Im surprised they lasted this long in...
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...
I know you all are tired of this but they are such cool fish to watch. The eggs hatched today and they moved the newborns from the plant leaf and stuck them to the back glass. Then to a pit in the sand. Male did guard duty as the female worked. They work so well as a team. It's always amazing to...
I've relativly new at this but have have several successful spawns to quarter size batches.
My current batch is at day 7 from spawning a few are free swimming the rest are all stuck together is this typical? I've even tried to blow them apart (lightly) w/ a turkey baster and they still stick...

I HAVE ABOUT 100 OR SO CUTTERI/ CONVICT HYBRIDS ON ONE END OF MY TANK. THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TANK MY JAGS SPAWNED SOMETIME EARLY THIS MORNING. THEY HADNT LAID THEM AT BY MIDNIGHT. I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE THEY DIDNT LAY ANYWHERE NEAR AS MANY AS THE 1ST SPAWN. IM WONDERING IF IT WAS DUE TO...
I have a pair of Archocentrus centrarchus. They bred 4 days ago. They're much more aggressive. They killed two platy's and the female even nipped me when I put my hand in the tank to pull some java moss off the filter inlet. There's been a dramatic color change, and they've moved the eggs to a...
