I used to breed guppies and discus prior to the shrimp addiction kicking in!

Have just brought home some endlers from the shrimp club on Sunday!!

And also had to buy some juveniles Oscars(5) during the week, as one of the local aquariums have bred some in store. Have always had a soft spot for them and thought, why not! They are in a 24x18x18 for now with a four footer earmarked for them as they grow.

I guess you could say I breed endlers as my trio just had babies in the community tank...... there is still 6 or so left.

Really should have moved them to another tank but I'm interested to see if they can make it on their own.

Good to see there are a number of keepers and breeders of African Cichlids on this site ;)

 

I recently imported a colony of German Bred Sulphur Crested Peacock cichlids (Aulonocara Maylandi).

 

Absolutely amazing fish. 

 

Bonus is that they have now bred and the mum spat 35 healthy fry on the weekend.

 

The family is growing :)

Well I'm not breeding them as yet as I need to do some prep work first like hatch brine shrimp for the first time as the fry need no more then 1hr old shrimp for food 2 x a day for 5 as any older will be to big for them to eat.

From what I have read so far it's going to be a challenge but you can only learn from failing first.

But if I succeed it will be a great personal achievement in breeding for me.

And the winner is Cardinal Tetra's

May aim is a school of 100 to 200 if I was to get them from a shop it would cost me $300 to $800 for a school that big but there's no challenge in that.

Will do inverted.

I'm not giving it a go till I get back from holidays in September that will give me time to set it all up and start conditioning some new Cardinals for breeding going from what I've read the stock I have now will possibly be unsuccessful at breeding because of their age.

So I need to find some that are around 6 to 8 months old to at lest give me half a chance of succeeding.

      I have just done the planned weekly maintenance and 10% water change and everything 'seems' to be going very well, I saw 12 blue and 9 panda shrimps so am very happy about that as there are always some hiding (and they are small) so there must be more than that at this point. Early days yet (especially with the off parameters) with the blues only been in the tank for a week and the pandas for 2 weeks. Not seen any dead ones yet and the shrimp seem happy enough and beautiful colour and pattern, all small so must be young! Parameters were TDS 159, GH 7-8, KH 1-2, PH 7 yesterday so still a bit off the usual ideal! Hopefully these figures come down slowly in time, I used pure RO water for the water change so Tds should drop 10. I will get a different PH test kit with a narrower range/increments as the one I have measures in .5 increments over a wide range which is probably a bit much. I bought these shrimp because the sellers parameters (PH 6.8) were the closest to mine so hopefully it will work out long term. I changed my zerowater filter as well, as the old one was measuring TDS 6 so passed its best. I will definitely overnight drip acclimate shrimp in the future, not that I plan any more in the forseeable future. I will add/edit photo when available, hopefully later today.

      All done now, I drip acclimated 11 blue bolts and 6 blue steel overnight and they are now in the tank so now is just wait and see if this works. 28 shrimps have now been put in and I have yet to SEE a dead one so fingers crossed! A couple of pictures of some below; I don't plan on buying any more shrimp so plan this to be a blue shrimp tank, though if it doesn't work out I have seen some female bettas I would like, but hopefully the shrimps will work out. The water parameters are still the same as before, so a bit off! I need to sort out what foods and shrimp stuff I have in the drawers and cupboard tomorrow as it's been a while, hopefully I find a shrimp lolly so I can give them one/part of those tomorrow, and it may bring as many of the shrimps out as possible.  Fingers crossed everyone...........
