Hey guys,

Since I post to much stuff in this section asking for help I decided to just make one thread for my questions as well as updates on the fish I'm breeding. So if you guys don't already know my set-ups I'll tell you:
55Gal divided in 2, One half have 2 Bolivian Rams which I think are male and female? the other half has 13 Blue Mickey Mouse plates and a Dolmation Lyretail Molly. If the plates are actually Blue Mickey mouse they have horrible coloring from the pictures i have seen of them online. I also have a 5.5 fry/birthing/grow out tank of which I have the 3 biggest plates in currently. I also have 1 Juvi Injured Convict in a floating trap and three Betta, One is an Injured male,One is healthy Male, and one is a female. Also can somebody tell me who to upload pictures directly to the thread?

Thanks,
Matt
 
I'm interested in buying some killifish eggs this guy has Nothobranchius Rubripinnis Kiziko tan RB 05-47 eggs, he wants $18 shipped for 70+ eggs. These fish look nice but do they have any value to the trade or in money value? I want to breed fish and make a little money, and have fun doing it, what do you guys think about this?
 
damn 38 threads and u barely joined in september lol
 
You being a newbie, I would have to suggest starting wioth the Convict Cichlid........The Convict Cichlid is the basic guidline to all cichlids...........What I mean by basic guidline:

------Breeding behavior
-----Parental behavior
-------Food
-----Aquarium interior design, the basics
-------The basic attitude that everyone expects from the cichlid family
 
Yea buddy get some cons. If you truly want to learn about cichlid breeding etc they are perfect for a start as well as being cool fish in their own right. You should be able to get rid of them too even if its a small amount of $. Sell them as feeders. I love my cons.
 
Hey guys,

One of my male Betta's was blowing a nice bubble nest, so guess what I did? I got a bucket put some water and dumped the male in, the female is in a glass container floating in the bucket. We will see how this goes.....The more fry the merrier :popcorn:
