Hi Nfly and Maylandi,
I had a nice hatch of kafuensis Mambova fry and I think there are alot more undeveloped eggs in the peat. I'd guess I have 30-40 fry. They eating well. I will be watching these closely with my run of unexplainable bad luck lately. I need to collect the Nanzhila peat today too.
I have never seen sp. Caprivi. It is suppose to be just a kafuensis variety. It looks like a good looking fish.
All my symoensi are looking great. They are a gorgeous fish. The males are nice and round with that deep purplish orange body color.
Glad to hear the gularis are showing their stuff. The male will continue to improve for the next 6-9 months. Wait until he is mature with all his finnage and color. I have the male I'm using for breeding. he has turned into a winner.
I lost all the red picta and they were red. They just started dying this week in the monty tank. The monties are just fine as are all the corys and angels. Weird, weird, weird. No disease signs just dead.
I got the box and will ship next week sometime.
Never used the poly for worms. My grindals are doing great but now I have extra bugs in there. Time for new cultures to be started.
Yes, water can backfill into your bbs hatchers. You'll want to get a check value or loop the air line tubing several times or place the pump above the tanks and jars -- the gravity protection
.
Welcome aboard Maylandi -- after the cobalt zebra?
You should enjoy the AKA. What area of the country are you in? There may be a local club in your area.
The AKA dvd's can be excellent. Bob Morenski's program on Nothos is very good. All the Brian Watters Notho programs are good but are on collecting not breeding like Morenski's. Charlie Nuziata's is probably good as Charlie is an excellent hobbyist but I have not seen it.
Killies don't do well in big tanks. They like quieter, smaller areas except for a few big species. Nothos hate big power filtered tanks. They like just a tiny flow of bubbles from a corner filter.
Read the monty threads too as there is lots of info there as well as on the kafuensis thread. Nflytrap and I have talked alot.
Bobby
