Title: So what is everyone going..
Post by: Mugwump on March 11, 2014, 08:43:01 PM
...to try and raise next? It seems that something new in our tanks adds a new thrill. and an added perspective to what we already have, and enjoy. What will we raise now, what new thrill will we experience??...... ;D...is anyone here ready for another species to watch and care for...??...sometimes it's as simple as a return to guppies, platy's, sword tails, mollies....for me, when the weather warms, it'll be some CPD's from Dennis.. ;D.....looking forward to the fun too.. ;D

I have some Danio jaintianensis I would like to breed.
Males should be the ones with the more reddish horizontal stripe.

Hmmm. 

Black Bar Endlers I am raising.  They should start reproducing late Spring or early Summer.

Bristlenose Pleco.  I have a mated pair that stopped breeding when their large seashell cave broke.  Need to come up with another cave.

And I am researching possibly breeding Rummynose Tetras.  Although info on the net is contradictory.

Thinking about attempting Gold Barbs as well.

As for angels I currently have:

*Blue Smokey pair
*Smokey Pinoy / DD Black pair
*Clown pairs that are het blue

And several juvenile wild crosses....Peruvian Glitter and Manacupuru / Rio Negro.  I hope to have a few pairs late Summer.

I think that's about it with my current stock.  I don't count the shrimp as all I do is keep them fat and happy.

I'm going to try and breed long fin coryies. I'm also trying to breed the neolamprologus multifasciatus, There such neat little fish.
I just pulled a new spawn of albino BN's. I have been waiting for an albino pair for a long time. And once my long fin albino BN's get bigger they I'll breed them too. I would also like to try and get the L201 plecos to breed.

Well, I'm taking a bunch of nano tanks down for the next 3 months, but plant to set up a small reef tank May/June. After fall I'll rethink what tanks to set up and what fish to keep/breed.

Once I set back up, I'll set up my Plat pair for a spawn and maybe I'll try my hand at the albino aneous cories.

I have a couple of large BNs but they are both female.  May be on the lookout for a male.

I'm thinking real hard about doing something with the Dantums, blue glitter zebra from Carol and the Sta Isabel/Rio Negros from Jon.

I've always had a fondness for Pearl Gourami's.  They are so graceful and peaceful and gorgeous when they're in their breeding colors.  There isn't much of a market for them and they have a gazillion babies at a time.  I suppose I could use excess kids as live food.

I know that they do quite well with Discus.  Anyone know if Angels are too aggressive for them?

We've kept Pearl Gourami's with angels before....no real issues...even had glass cats in there..
