They laid eggs again and I have them in a jar with an air stone and Methelyne blue. Have some wigglers already.

Yeah, sorry. Methelyne Blue. I used to work at a lab and we used bromethymal blue as an indicator.

Well, I left the second spawning in the tank hoping the parents would raise them. They fanned them nicely for 3 days then I came in and all the eggs were gone. Crap! Well next time I will remove the eggs and get some bromethymal blue.

Haha, Mine just spawned again.

There was an airstone. The parents just laid more eggs so I will let them take care of them this time. She did a better job of sticking the eggs to the rock so they aren't going all over the place like last time. They made it thru the first night without eating them too!

I was able to get 15 or so eggs into a HOB box so maybe I will get some babies yet!

Unfortunately almost all of the eggs got fungus while I was out of town. gs I left in the tank.I am trying to keep a few tiny, tiny babies alive. The parents ate all the eg

Thanks, I really like these fish, they are so attractive.

If I end up with fry I will probably keep some and sell the rest

My Chocolate's have been acting like lovebirds for two weeks now in the 240gl so I put them in their own tank. Three days later they are laying eggs (or at least trying to) on the slate. The female isn't pushing the eggs down so they are rolling off the rock into the gravel. I think I'll just...

Thanks for the info, I'll check first, of course. I recently saw a post about him supplying fish to some city aquariums around the country. That's the best place I can think of for Mr. Snuffalupagus!

They look great! Mine are much smaller, but I love the way they change color at the drop of a hat. Do the larger ones continue to do that?

I have a Ripsaw that is 15 years old. Gentle giant of a fish. I got him at 1 3/4 inches long and 6 months later he was 1 foot. He never eats other fish, i think he might accidental eat a baby if it got in his mouth, but that's it. Great fish, just be ready to have one that will end up very big...

If you run across any zoos anywhere near Atlanta that want a 28 inch Niger, don't forget I'm here with one!

My niger will come up to the top of the tank and take the algae tabs out of my hand, a real puppy.

My niger loves algae tabs, vacuums them up wholesale. He also loves cocktail shrimp, small sized, peeled. They eat crustaceans in the mud in the wild so it makes sense.

Awesome fish, love the nigers. You want a 28 inch one? My wife saved him from a negligent owner of a lfs that let him get beat up by Oscars and was going to just let him die. She shamed him into giving him to us so we could try to save him. He was less than 2 inches long, we kept him alive and 6...

Any aquariums in the Atlanta area? I've tried to get in touch with the big one here in Atlanta and no luck. Also tried the Chattanooga one, nobody responds to messages.

Nice tank! I have a 240 and I really like the low maintenance aspect of it compared to smaller tanks.

Nice tanks and fish! Is that a Distichodus Lososso, or Sexfasciatus ? I have a Sexfasciatus, have kept them for 30 yrs. Great fish!
