HI All, Can I make a few suggestions on ways to make all your kuhli's happier? Plant live plants in clay pots, and line them up at the back and/or sides of your tanks. This will not only add additional filtration but another place for your kuhli's to dart behind. You must take care to plant the plan...

You guys should put potted aquatic plants on your tanks, this will keep the nitrates down! They are natures filters! And then your tanks could go for 3 or 4 months between cleanings like mine do!

StrangeSavant, Did they start eating them yet? If so soon you'll find yourself buying them from Aquabid by the hundreds!

What are the specs of your tank? Size? Temp? PH? Plants? Substrate? Fish? Have you evert tested the water before you put it in? It could be that your putting in water that is already high in Phosphates and what not...

I wish they's make stamps like these in the US!

Could It be something else? Like they eat the the eggs before they get fertilized, Or that the fry need brakish water?

Hi Pearlescent, Pregnant YoYos is not a rara case. Problem is that male YoYos do not reach sexual maturation to fertilize those egs. I had a few cases of pregnant YoYos. Actually, one of mine is pregnant this very moment. Anyway, in a comunitary tank would be impossible to have them breeding. Other...

WTF! SORRY for the Double!

I have no clue how to put a pic on here...can some one help me with that too? And in any case I almost never see this fish, so it's gonna take me awhile to get a pic... He is really small but so is the other one that almost never comes out! Almost all the food is gone before they come out, and I'm p...
