Just went bullhead fishing last night here in WI. Got 11 and missed many many more. They ranged from 12 to 15.5". Last year I caught one that was 18" and 3 oz. short of the state record! They are very fun to catch and my 3 year old had a blast reeling them in last night! Have a couple...

I've got 3 wild Oscars ranging from 3.5-5". The smallest is getting beat up quite regularly as the other two are ganging up on him/her. Would be willing to ship without a guarantee or could talk to a distributor in the area to see if he could ship with guarantee. He ships quite regularly...

I have multiple compost bins and the red worms are multiplying too fast for me to keep up. I need to sell some. $12.50 per 250 worms. I have been supplementing these worms as food for my African cichlids and it seems as though within the week one of the females will be holding fry. Will ship...

Noon/Lunch Hour Bump!

Morning BUMP!

Well, my red worms are multiplying like crazy and I am looking to sell some. Prices per lb are outrageous online and I would like to help some MFK'ers with their fish food bills. Red worms are very nutritious for fish and they will give them something to hunt down. I would like to see if...

That would probably be a good idea. I would imagine in a year or so my females would be mature. Where do you get all this info on CARES, ICUN, and Dr. Loiselle? Please let me know when you get the chance! Stripped 3 females tonight - one ate em all, another had 2 fry and about 20 fungus...

I know that others eat the eggs when they are being dropped, but the females do hold quite a few. There is no way I could keep this from happening with the large number of fish in my 90. Whatever happens happens. You are correct for sure though that the females should have more...

Well, I stripped the other female and got 9 fry. The females are still pretty small which I think is why I am only getting single digit fry numbers. I currently have 10 females that are holding...4 in my divided 15, 2 in my divided 10, and 4 still in the 90 that are hanging low until I come up...

I have had this happen in the past with my yellow labs also. If you have a HOB filter, you could always try to place the net (with eggs or wigglers) underneath the flow of water, which will keep the eggs in motion. Thats about all you can do if you dont have a tumbler on hand. With all the...

I will definitely have to read up then. I now have 5 females holding...all from today!! I actually caught 3 of them dropping eggs and getting them fertilized! Pretty sweet to watch. JonV, thank you for all the info! I will have to do some more research on the Lafasciata's. Will continue to...

JonV, I do see where you are coming from, and I have thought about it, but I feel as though the female gets very worn down if she carries to term. I know that I need to beef her up a little after carrying (either to term or just a week), but it seems as though I can get her to spawn quicker...

Waited 6 days for the female to hold and then stripped her...got 7 small fry and 4 unfertilized eggs. Thinking she must have lost a lot to unfertilized eggs or a fungus. Currently have another female holding this morning - put her in the 15 gallon by herself. Going to wait 8 days this next...

2 females ate their eggs...but there was another holding this morning in my 90. So right now I have 2 females holding! Chris

Yeah, with my yellow labs I usually wait 10 days and the fry all make it. It was the Z.O.'s 1st batch so I figured I should strip right away, since they would most likely be eaten anyways. The females would be in ok shape since they could eat again right away (instead of waiting at least 10...

Well...lost all the eggs to fungus when I checked this morning. It was all of the females 1st time with eggs and I did strip them after 1 day. I have three females holding in a 15 gallon right now and probably another one or two that will drop their eggs today in the 90 gal. We'll just have...

Here is one that I just started to use this morning, has 3 yellow lab fry in it...made 3 of them so far. Takes about 15 mins ea! Hopefully they work out. The one pictured is a 32 oz Powerade Bottle. Any bottle will really do. I really need to get a gang valve so I can just hook them all up to...

The homemade tumbler (1st I ever made) is made out of a 20 oz bottle. I cut the bottom off about 2" from the bottom. I then drilled some small holes in the bottom of the bottle so water could pass through to keep the eggs in motion when the airstone is on. Then I placed some pantyhose on top...

Saw the female drop the eggs and the male fertilizing them last night....they were doing the dance. A lot of the eggs were getting eaten by other females in the tank. Kinda pissed about that, but I currently have 46 eggs tumbling in my home made tumbler and another female holding in a 15 gal...

Pretty much the Z.O.'s are chasing eachother and the Kenyi's the same. I checked on mama today and she must have eaten em since she looked well fed and was not holding eggs. So, I threw her back in the 90 gal. I did however see another Z.O. holding yesterday morning....she was stripped this...
