Thanks all!

KF- In all three spawns, the eggs are a translucent yellowish color, just a few were white that weren't fertilized, but they quickly got rid of those. I don't think it's a fertility...

Just wondering what is going on here...my GBR pair have spawned now 3 times. The first time the eggs lasted 1 day. The 2nd time, the eggs lasted 2-3 days and they were starting to look as if they...

They are little beauties!

Yours and mine may be related! I got mine from Algenco too and they have already spawned! :)

Happy Birthday!! Hope it brings all you're wishing for!

Sounds good to me....
If anyone else has any feedback, I'd love to hear it! :) Thanks!

Upon my research, I was thinking I could just get some of that plastic grid stuff from the craft store, cut it to fit, and wrap the pantyhose over it? IDK...seems like it would work...in theory. lol

This is true...
But isn't it a common practice to use pantyhose for their filter intake?
I'm not sure, I just don't want the fry to wander over to the "wrong side of the tracks".

Hi all,
I was thinking since I lost my first batch of GBR eggs to the BN (i think) I wanted to divide the tank to give them a better chance. It's a 29g standard (not a bowfront) tank and I was...

I would think the person you sell your fish to would pay for the shipping. For me, it was only $10, but I had 2 small GBR's in 2 bags/1box. I don't know if they charge by weight or not w/ priority.

Jackson17,
Algenco shipped me 2 GBR's recently from Kentucky to Illinois...I know it's not as far as NY to AZ...but they made it perfectly fine. I think he shipped them Sat? and they arrived Mon by...

Well, unfortunately, I woke up to find that all the eggs are gone. I think the BN got to them. Next time, I'll divide the tank. But I'll keep an eye out for fry in a few days...I've had eggs in the...

WOW! Holy mackerel...oops, gourami! haha

Thanks!! I take that back about them not being too protective, they are chasing the corys away and I hope they can keep the BN away too.

Do these eggs look fertilized?

After only having Jack and Jill for about a month, we've got our first batch of eggs! I was gone all day yesterday, so I don't know when it happened, but I turned the light on this morning and there...

I really like our new Petsmart (although haven't bought fish from there), but the Petco nearby is disturbing...just about every time I go in there the poor goldfish have anchor worms sticking out of...

I had that issue too, I boiled and boiled! For me, it still hasn't gone away on it's own. I had to take it out every few days and scrub it. I finally got fed up and got a BN pleco and it's been clean...

I'm using a sand called Red Flint. I think it's like pool filter and water filter sand? Any info on that? I got it from my LFS. It's heavy enough that it doesn't get sucked up when I vacuum the...

Oh boy!!! I was going to ask you if they were paired up before you sent them bc they really stay together! ;)

I posted pics in the photo forum as well as I'm going to try creating an album. Check it out!

I'm so happy to share that I FINALLY got my pair of GBR's that I have been waiting for (the LFS never get any). Thanks to Algenco for the little beauties, they arrived in wonderful condition and are...

FYI- I did a fishless cycle and when my cycle completed, I did a 50% water change and it caused my Trites to spike again. I don't think the Trates were very established at that time so maybe that's...

AWWW! I love them! so cute...I can't wait to get some too!

Thanks! I would like to add some live plants and eventually phase out the silks, but for now...low maintenance is the life for me! :)
