Got to say I love Australe Gold, and with someone having a couple of pairs if we weren't moving I'd be jumping on them. They're absolutely beautiful. If you have eggs in a few months and you want to sell or trade for some CBS let me know. Would be very very keen

It doesn't matter how many tanks you have, you're always going to need more! But this isn't a bad thing, just a case of getting the balance, especially for guppies. A good friend seperates his males from the girls then selectively adds the male(s) he wants to the girls tank or a seperate tank for a few days, then wait and see what appears from the batch. He's good at sexing fry when still very young , me I'm still getting my eye at this stage for sexing at the 2 week mark, it can be done, just takes time and patience. I go for the other option, keeping the strains I want to keep in their seperate tanks, I then move any fry that appear or seperate the pregnant girls into a seperate tank for their drop and then raising the fry. Just takes time and patience but I'm finally getting some good results on both our blue grass and the metallic pinks. First new pink male coming up an absolute gorgeous colour which we've been after for some time, plus another drop of fry which have just gone into the same tank as the galaxy rasboras. Only thing I've noticed is some strains are very very slow growing, the albinos especially.

Hi Everybody, I'm new to these parts having moved back to Sydney a couple of years back and finally going back to keeping fish. Presently I've got a couple of tanks, a Fluval Edge at work and a 24" x 12" x 15" here at home. I'm keeping Crystal Red Shrimp and Rasbora Galaxy presently and am hoping to breed both. The Rasbora's are all small but with the arrival of 2 males shortly I'll have a total 4 males and 7 females, hopefully the basis for building a small base for breeding. I'm also looking for Scarlet Badis, if you've got any for sale please let me know ;-) I'll throw some pictures up shortly. The 2 males and 4 females I received today are still settling down in their new tank. They'll looking pretty good, small but they should colour up shortly. I used to keep Tropical Marines back in the UK but don't have that amount of time or the money these days. Being married with children has a major impact on the wallet, not including the global financial crisis! - KiwiBigD
