Kewpie's Pewpie err Fish

Wow! Scary stuff but I'm happy to read that everyone seems to be pulling through.

Is the Endli OK today too?

Yeah, somehow. I was convinced I was going to lose both of them. The Endli ate last night and seems to be doing fine. I've only had him/her for a week or so

Have you posted about that in the poly forum? I've been on more intermittenly lately.

(If not, get on it! )

 

[kewpiefishypewpie]

No, I haven't. I haven't been spending much time on the forum at all lately.

 

[magpie]

Well at least post here! I'd love to see him/her.

Hope everything is ok. Can always throw a bottle of safestart in

Revisiting the loose CA biotope idea for my tank, I ended up getting a 120 4x2x2.

I had bichir in it, but apparently bichir hate my water.

I'm thinking hets, meeki, and xiphophorus helleri with a load of ferns and driftwood.

Polys are using the last to "hate " water. Somethings up

Sounds good. Personally I would replace the ferns for nymphia lotus lily, like the ones found in Mexico.
It's easy to grow and looks the part.

Update 1.5 Years Later:

My Polleni pair have passed away, the male was a good 10" Great fish to keep. Have no idea what happened, I wasn't home.

My hets have paired off and have spawned

Stanzzzz7 hey there, long time hope things are well, have you ever had hets spawn? I've never had any fish spawn before, any tips? I'm not really interested in growing any of them on yet.

Congratulations on the spawn mate.

I would just let them get on with it, without intervention if you don't want to raise any.
They will probably eat their first spawn. Just watch out for aggression while they are breeding.
A lovely species that would definitely be worth breeding and keeping some youngsters.
Eventually some fry may survive, depending what else is in the tank.
Maybe you could grow on a small group and keep with the parents for a while.
