Re: Tysons livebearer's thread - Surprise! BRISTLENOSE HAD BABYS ?

the pleco eggs were attached to a cave the clown loaches were hiding in and the cave was all around a bunch of rocks and i had to remove alll of them to get to it , was a headache.

meanwhile i did add a few new rocks and slates so theyl be much happier now

You could've put the rock with eggs in a bucket of water, but it's too late. What's done is done. I'm sure if they bred already that they'll breed again especially now that you've added more caves.

If you can't find assain snails. Some body can mail you some.

If they're willing to ship internationally.

thanks mistahoo and mnemenoi

il get some assains snails il be returning my 2 clown loaches tommoro and trading them for a few livebearers :)
I just want to get the base of my tank setup first. Alge eaters,snail control.

Il get some assian snails tommoro if my LFS has them

A better option would be assassin snails. They will eat other snails, and the plecos can fend them off. Plus they won't be able to eat fry.

+1 Assassin Snails are awesome and my first recommendation on any unwanted pest snails. We keep MTS breeding in our Tanganyikan tanks and they can get crazy overpopulated. We feed them to our Fahaka puffer and she loves them. I don't recommend a Fahaka for snail problems though, lol

Re: Tysons livebearer's thread - Surprise! BRISTLENOSE HAD BABYS ?

Just curious, why did you remove the pleco eggs and why are you ripping up the tank?

well guys i removed the loaches, meanwhile ripping apart half my tank and finding stacks off rocks with catfish eggs , i felt really guilty but the job had to be done to protect my tank mates.

The loaches are now moved temporily to my 10gallon tank which i will be taking back to my friends 250gallon tank tommoro and switching for a bunch of guppies

Cheers
