breeding

I have livebearers that include endlers (crayfish buddies ;) ), swordtails, mollies, platys and, guppies (original 6 fish were feeders that a turtle didn't eat). I've always just let my livebearers breed at will, so to speak. But I have an itch to try my hand at selective breeding. I've decided...

So I sort of unintentionally waylaid Sarah's contracted maintenance thread a bit responding to Matt Quinn's comment about not stocking the client's tank with auratus. I joked back that I was more leaning towards M chipokae, M. crabro (bumblebee), P. polit or M. lombardoi (kenyi). Funny, having...

I have a breeding colony of 14 Labdichromis sp. 'Hongi' Super Red Top in a 50 breeder, and I need to break down the tank, so while this has been an enjoyable tank to observe and a fun species to keep, I need to sell them. This is the same tank mentioned in this thread (where I have a few lame...

Jon Clark is graciously looking after a bunch of my fish while our house is being. Because they're less aggressive than a lot of chanchitos, a pair of oblongums could use a mellower home than he can currently provide. Anyone interested in housing these guys for me for a couple of months...

I bought six leleupi about six months ago. The other day when cleaning the tank I was shocked to find a few baby leeupi, about a 1/4 inch long swimming around. Then I saw 2 adults spawning again.

I need tips on breeding my Panduro. I have them in a 10 gallon to themselves with fake plants and a sponge filter. The substrate is pool filter sand and their are two cocnut halves iin the tank for caves. One is just big enough for the female to get in with sand she piled up at the entrance...

Synos and Fish Breeding I saw Sarah mention it on Mike's troph thread, but didn't want to jack it.... I have never had syno cats in with my African community tanks. I've always admired them in other folk's tanks, but never pulled the trigger. Something to do with long term investment.... I...

In a discussion about where to find discus breeding cones, someone mentioned a DIY idea. It sounded like a good idea, so I built one for under $10. A little Dremel tool work, silicone to secure the flower pots and a rim for a lip and it looks pretty good. It's not as beautiful as the glazed ones...

I have been lonely for a few weeks ever since two of my three RG tank mates decided to get too personal with my lady friend. Naturally, like all strong, dominant...

If you are into breeding fish and you have a pair of rare, expensive fish that are difficult to encourage to spawn and they do, would you be more likely to tell anyone/everyone you know, or do you become superstitious and not tell anyone until the fry are free-swimming? How do you handle it?
