Well....You could try sending a bottle of red... :) but it won't make those wild scalare do what they need to any sooner...should help me pass the time as I wait.....Lol

I wish they'd hurry up and get busy like the marbles.

[Jennie]

maybe put the marble tank next to the scalare tank..let the marbles show 'em how it's done! lol..and if that works, send me the bottle of red! :)

[Ryan]

Hi Al
How big are those marbles? 50cent,silver dollar,ect.
Also, what kind of wilds do you have? I just got 9 f1 manacapuras.
When do you think those babies will be ready? And, I really do have several bottles of red.

Lol.. Jay.. These Marbles are a tad small still..maybe dime size...Give me another week or two to put some size on them and they'll be ready to go... as for my wild scalare..just some common Peruvians that are just starting to pair up...still have my F2 wilds lines going and those should pair in the next month or two.

MMM...That last bottle you brought down was great! :)

I'll pm you in a few weeks about getting some of those and I will put 2 bottles aside for you as an incentive to fatten them up quickly.

[brewmaster15]

Jeff, I have no discus Fry availible now, I sold the last of my juvies when I down sized a bit.....everything here now are pairs and adult breeder stock..... The pairs are pretty active spawning right now so I would guess I'll soon have fry again.
Sorry.

[Bud Smith]

Al - nice angels - I had angels tanks for years - koi and smokeys were were my preference - when I changed to discus sold all my angels
Whats your view on keeping angels with discus? heard alot of different things

[brewmaster15]

I don't have a problem mixing them provided they are equally healthy...often though Angels from LFS can carry any number of pathogens that will hit a discus hard. Also the juvie angels can really out compete the discus for food...so best to keep adult angels with adult discus IMO.

Wait, so you move them from parent secretion straight to FDBW? Have you tested feeding this exclusively? From juvie to adult?

Not sure what you mean here? I start feeding Baby Brine shrimp after about day 3-4 free swimming (discus), day 2 freeswimming ....(angels)... I then feed the BBS for the next week or two exclusively, and then start with a variety of foods.....powdered flake and pellet, then move on to shaved BH and ground up Freeze dried Black worms( use the coffee grinder)

I have not raised anything yet exclusively on freeze dried Blackworms.. I believe in a varied diet.

hth,

[DLock3d]

That answers my question. Thanks Al.

[Jennie]

wow...have they bred before??
Not yet....just Marbles....still working on it.

[brewmaster15]

No Jennie, they haven't.. I bought these wilds as quarter size juvies imported from Peru about 1-1/2 years .....Wilds can often take their sweet time about breeding....and wild Scalare Angels can be particularly problematic as they often are very aggressive towards each other, IMO.

With all things fish related...patience helps...I'm in no rush. :)
