My class room tank was gifted a group of P. Saulosi back in May. After a month in the tank I had two holding females. I stripped them and had about 25+/- fry. I didn't have grow out space for them so I dumped them into my backyard summer tub. They went straight from this bucket into the tub...

CCA Members: We announced at the November meeting that we will be starting a new program to encourage participation in the Breeders Award Program. Starting in January, you can now earn BAP Bucks for BAP entries that are auctioned in the monthly club auction. Here's how it works: 1. When...

The February 2016 meeting will tentatively be our BAP speaker presentations. Is there anyone interesting in presenting on a fish that you are keeping? You only need to have a 5-10 minute presentation preferably a power point with photos or videos of you setup for that fish. Also, you will be...

Here's my most recent spawn... David Edward Cowperthwaite born 4/21/15, 5:42pm, 7lbs. 10oz., 20.75" (SL, not TL) Baby and mother are doing well, though mother does not look like she is showing interest in delayed maternal mouthbrooding. I am also concerned about possibilities of...

Another meeting will be here soon. Hopefully you and your fish are happy and well. Since happy fish breed you should consider participating in CCA's Breeders Award Program. Participation is fun and easy. The rules are on the 2nd and 3rd sticky on here...

I meant to post this sooner but had a few discrepancies pop up and it took me a bit of figuring out. As announced in the February meeting: 1st place Reed with 11 spawns and 340 points. 2nd Christine 7 spawns 200pts. 3rd Dan...

I purchased a group of 5 wild caught Rio Tempisque Costa rican Barred Citrinellus a while back from Jeff Rapps. They have finally paired off and spawned for me after pairing with other amphilophus in my collection. Much easier to isolate them to their own tank ;)

I bought this pair from Dan at COA during the clubs last group buy. They were not quick to pair off as the larger (at the time) female beat the heck out of the male. I pulled the female and let the male grow out for a bit, which didn't take him long! When I put the female back she seemed small...

I bought four of these from the wetspot group buy during 2014's AquaMania. They paired very fast and I have actually lost count of how many times these guys have spawned for me. I wanted to participate in BAP this year though and since this pair has been so awesome for me I figured they should...

I got a few of these from Shawn. I had thought I lost most of them, but of the three that remain, I have 2M and 1F. I finally saw the female holding a few days ago! Pics of the holding female (top) Pic of one of the males (bottom)

Matt Q traded me a pair of these for some other fish at the holiday party. They've settled in and are on their second spawn attempt since then. They're in regular dechlorinated tap water in a 29 gal planted tank.

I've had a lonely male Apisto redneck for a while, and picked up the female redneck from our auction this past November. Well, she colored up a lovely combination of yellow with black and has been harassing him since I put her in the tank. I haven't seen either fish for a while aside from the...

On christmas I found the male guarding a small clutch of eggs in the back of the pleco cave. Yesterday I moved the fry into a breeder net and I just dropped in some zuchini for them to eat. I'm really excited to grow these guys out. Once my camera is finished recharging, I'll post some pics

Well, they spawned! Here's a short video of the female laying eggs vbL2_izzT00 The female had layed 500 +/- more eggs after the video was over I just came down stairs to find them ripping eachother apart so I threw in the divider with the eggs on the female's side and I have my fingers crossed

Hey guys Never even saw the wigglers or eggs The fry have been free swimming for a few days and have finally started to accept BBS I did have some congo tetras in the tank and they ended up eating 75% of the spawn but I still have give or take 20 little fry. I've cicrcled the areas where the...

I found 8 eggs but unfortunately 5 burst when I was moving them so I only successfully got 3. But, that's better than nothing sorry for the bad pic

Hey guys At yesterday's meeting I had to leave early but I was able to get a pair of marble convicts and a pair of cuatepeque for my mom (her favorite fish) in the auction plus lots of other nice fish from other members. This morning when I went downstairs to see how all of the new fish are...

Hi guys These guys spawn so much that I might aswell enter them I keep the pair by themselves in a 29. After they spawn I always divide them or seperate one into a different tank because the male gets extremely aggressive with his smaller female. I always leave this tank covered in algae so the...
