Thanks Guys. Very exciting she looks to have a bit of a bulge so any day now.

[goodoo]

Finally. I got eggs. Noticed them at 5:00 today. I
Havent done a water change since Wens, things have been hectic havent been feeding much last few days and have been removing all waste daily with a vac i bought of Bigdaddy. Anyone think I should do a water change before they hatch. So awsome. Now i got to work out how to hatch shrimp. Fun.

Cheers,

Bob

There wrigglers now. Must be hundreds, biggest batch i ever seen. Not one white egg, unless mum removed them. No meth blue needed. Havent seen any fights between mum and dad, they have a bad history. So as long as i can feed em and give them good water see what happens.

Thanks for the congrats guys :D .Sorry Havent been posting non fish world not so good at moment :cry: . But the babys are doing great there is about a 100 I guess, they look like tadpoles, couple of days i reckon they will start to look like fish. Just put on some Artemia, fingers crossed. P.s did my first 150 % water change last night, no deaths awsome, Only the strong will survive. And Yeah thanks for giving out my secret Old Dave :evil:

[lpiasente]

Yay

[goodoo]

I hate hatching stupid shrimp, annoying, mum and dad are feeding them well, I hope I work this out or I will be going to the ponds anyone recommend daphnia for discus or to risky parasite wise.

[m.ingram]

from what i have read they are to risky as they carry parasites.

[swampy1972]

You could try frozen baby brine shrimp.. Thaw them first then add them slowly to see if they take to them.

[Old Dave]

Luke,

check with Mystic or Infidel.

They might be able to help with some micro worms as well.

Didn't see your mug in the Daphnia Collection Expedition pics :roll:
Hope everything else is OK now.

:D :D
