Justin,

Great to see the heckelii are doing well, and your tanks look great.

Thanks Jeff! Give me a ring when head back up north next time and we'll meet up again. Anthony told me last night they won't be getting my other heckelii in until after the 1rst. :irked:
 
UPDATE

I tried some new combinations of settings on my camera and managed to get much better better pics than my usual quality. :cool: As I mentioned above I won't be able to get two WC's more until after the first of the year when they come in.

Yeah I am going to give it a shot but am trying to pick up the proper amount for a group before focusing on breeding, if they do in the mean time, great. I have the abalios trying to breed again and the green pair spawned in the QT tank last night. :nilly: trying to get some fry tanks ready.

Green what? :D

Get some of those breeder nets....I like to use them for small fry coz I don't have to worry about water conditions.

I bought the nets. This time I'm ready Peter, trust me. ;) The green severums in the 125g, I wasn't expecting that while treating them. The male keeps picking off the eggs so they won't last long and I don't intend on pulling the eggs out. I would like to finish treating the tank and not spread anything to the fry tank.
 
lovely peaceful species. i thoroughly reccomend them in a medium sized community. heres a photo of mine. hes 10'' and planning to get more later on next year when i get another tank.
