Hi Ganni Well as regards my future fish room, i do not know  how many hours of sunlight it will get. I know for sure that it will get the morning sun, but for how many hours i do not know, since i do not live in the place yet. But i could always put a blind or dark curtains across. To tell you the truth i have not thought about the algea ...

 I have kept a couple of these fish in the past, though i must admit they are not one of my favourites i do not know why. I know you can also keep them with discus but i have never really wanted to buy any. I know that today there are so many varieties of the fish, with also some really small ones in size. Well maybe)i will wait till Martin ...

  hi  Martin  What beautiful colours. I must admit i have never kept any  central American chiclids.  So i really do not know anything about them. I guess they would take care of their young, no, are they similar in breeding habits and the convicts ?  Do they grow to a large size and can you keep them in a community ...

  Well the goldfish have now been given to their new owner. but it seems the female congo tetras have gone on a diet as they are very slim and do not seem to be getter any fatter.:) So i guess i will have to wait more. I must admit though i am not feeding them any frozen foods, so maybe that is the reason. I guess maybe if i want some congo ...

 Hi martin  wow you have gone up market now, with U tube as well. Great idea. When i came to your home i saw those hundred of fry you have. I think when you sell them you will soon be a very rich man.:)  i guess the problem is when they start growing up and you will have to see what you are going to do about the ...

Hi Martin Well a lot of my tetras have dissapeared, and the other time i saw a dead tetra floating, it was night time and i could see it had been just killed.  Discus fish are not so innocent as fish and if they have the chance they will take the opportunity and hunt fish. From a shoal of cardinals i only have two left. And all  my ...

 Well glad you took the step and put three more discus in your new tank. I like to take a long time when transferring discus from one tank to the other. At least one hour of mixing water from one tank with the other. ( i take a bit more time if i have bought a new discus)   Even though i have practically the same water for my discus ...

Hi Martin When i bred the golden gouramies  I literally had hundreds of young fry but my tank was without any plants in them so they could be seen. They are slow growing at first but then they start growing at a fast rate. I think Gouramies live for quite a few years> I remember i had given some to a friend and he had them for over 5 ...

 Hi maritn congratulations on breeding the moonlight gourami. It is a very spledid spedies. I remember way back i had bred the golden gourami. And i had bred them in winter. I rememher i had to lower the height of the water, so that the fry would have a layer of air to breed from. I had read it was important to keep the air above the water ...

 They are the emperior tetra no? i have never managed to keep them for a long time, and am afraid that they would be eaten by my discus. IMy shoal of tetras keep getting less and less. Need to get some bigger kind of tetras i guess, but i do not want black widows.    frank
