Hi Lauris, Wow Wow Magical scape superb planting congratulations

 

[Tim Harrison]

It is a pretty awesome scape, I love all the open/negative space.

 

[Lauris]

Thank you guys, it is always good to hear a positive feedback

 

[CooKieS]

Awesome scape and pics!

I have now 2 new "friends"

A pair of Bluefin Nothobranch

Lovely fish - just remember to collect & store eggs so you'll have fish next year

 

[Lauris]

Never thought about this. Lol. I think I should read up some info about breeding them

 

[alto]

I've noticed when shops sell killifish, they rarely mention that they tend to be annual fish, some species do live longer in aquaria, but many are still quite short lived

There may be a killi fish group/club in your area

Decided to take back the rainbow dwarfs to LFS. I hope these will be the last changes in live stock. No more "big" fish. With tiny ones this one does not loose the right proportions

Instead.. took home 5 Scarlet Badis

Some moss update.. lets go above..

And FTS

so easy when you're in the shops & see a lovely fish to lose perspective & bring it home

Scarlet badis are stunning fish - though usually just the dominant male shows intense colors - did you get any females too?

 

[Lauris]

Who knows. Lol. I'll let them settle in to see how they go about the colour. I'm not an expert in sexing them

Yeah. Impulsive buys are the worst ones.lol

Really nice scape you have there! I like it a lot. Just be carefull with the heater. They like to stop working if they are like in your stand. I think also the manufakturer recomends to have it the way up because there were too many claims for this heaters stoped working. Good luck

 

[Lauris]

Thanks for heads up. So far, so good. 3 years with no issues regardless of its position

Hi all,

I'm not an expert in sexing them

I've only ever seen males, the females are fairly dull.

cheers Darrel

 

[alto]

the females are fairly dull.

the females have a subtle beauty

couldn't resist

Shops generally have the option to order in all males or mix of male/female ... as they rarely ship in, females sell well
AFAIK these fish still tend to be mostly wild caught

Wow badis!! Those are so rare in Australia. How much did you pay?

 

[Manisha]

Really nice little fish, do you have food cultures for them? Would love a couple but waiting to see how consistent my lfs is at getting the live food in!

Wow badis!! Those are so rare in Australia. How much did you pay?

My lfs have them every now and then. 1 badis was 5€
