Loading...Hello. I was just woken up by the splashing of my filter. It keeps floating on top even though it's full of water. It was even in a holder.
Hi guys, When I turned on my aquarium this morning, I noticed the following (see picture) I've had this fish for about four years, and my question is, what's wrong with it? Is it old age or sick? And what should I do? Can it be saved, or should I put it down? Since yesterday…
Hi, I wanted to start my own small trout farm. What do I need for this and where can I learn about breeding?
I still have an unused Fluval Flex Aquarium and saw on the Internet how someone converted theirs into a coral aquarium and wanted to know how I can do that
Hi guys, In my aquarium, my blue neons tend to go crazy when I turn off the light in the evening. Why is this? (Is it the abrupt change in light from bright to dark?) In the morning when I turned on the light I couldn't recognize the behavior…
I had forgotten how my automatic feeder works properly, but now I've set it up correctly. It always goes off at 11:40 p.m. and then goes off 6 hours later. But is that a problem, since I'm going on vacation for 14 days now?
In fish, what fits in the mouth and is not fast enough to escape is always eaten. In nature in general, it also applies, it is beneficial for the health of the population if the slow and the stupid are eaten before they can multiply.
That means it is absolutely no drama when only a small part of the young animals comes through.
So that, after they are no longer supplied by parents, they have a good chance of survival, the stone structure, besides the large caves for adults, must also have narrower caves and columns, into which only the little ones fit pure until they themselves are too big to be eaten. Of course, when feeding you have to make sure that the little ones get enough to grow quickly.
Would it also be sufficient to separate (e.g. a basket that can be attached to the Aq)? (of course in a reasonable size)
I don’t know such a big basket. In addition, the little ones stand under permanent stress because they see the big ones and the big ones will always try to bite into the basket where they see the little ones.
Ah, okay.
Hello,
yes, as well as eieiei wrote it: it is eaten everything that is eatable.
In principle, you should even be happy about it, because it is a great thing when fish breed and lead and raise the little ones – especially in the case of muzzlers a fascinating thing! – but you don’t get rid of these fish.
Most Malawis grow almost as wonderful as Guppys. For their attitude one needs very large (because at least 300 l) aquariums (for many species still much larger). Then you need a very special facility that doesn’t like everyone long ago. Ergo: Young people aren’t going.
The zoo shops usually do not accept them from the quarantine protection regulations prescribed by the Vet.-Amt, and privately they will not be released.
So be happy if the youngster disappears naturally. If your basin is carefully and correctly set up, then a few young fish will always survive – and that is more than enough.
Ok thank you – as almost any answer.
Here on gf you will find the best advice and nobody wants to sell something.
right – and that’s why you always have to find out where there is no sales intention.
But there are also very good Malawi forums where you get absolutely professional help.
To do this, you should know how big the aq is. well possible in small space. If it’s big enough, the babies should get through. Malawis are muzzlers, means that the babies grow up in the mouth of the mother, so to speak. They should not be eaten by their own parents
500 litres
How about 4 cm long Malawis?
I have remembered that they will be eaten because the imperial beaks have grown almost completely and I still want to buy some (4cm, but no emperors).
What comes from above is food. These are all aquarium fish so used and you can do nix. If you use maul-friendly babies like that, they hardly have a chance.
The best way is to let the little ones stay in a bucket with a little airborne and put them in the dark pool very early in the morning with the flashlight, in the dark room, so that nobody wakes up in the pool. Until it gets bright and the inhabitants wake up, the little ones had enough opportunity to retreat.
The alternative is to set up a 60cm pelvis and let the little ones grow a little, maybe 6cm.
Okay.
Okay, if they’re three to four times that big, that’s a thing. Mms are eaten. Not all but most. I’d sigh the more creepy in every case.
ca.10-15 cm
I would do it as well. Put a little 60l on where you can grow it to a good size. How big are your imperial-coloured?
one more:
You should always read the right one. Knowing the names of his fish – because only so are the animals safe to assign and there can be no confusion with tips and advice – at least among experienced Aquarians:
Therefore, please:
Aulonocara jacobfreibergi
Aulonocara hansbaenschi
AND DANN is going on!! WHICH Kaiserbuntbarsch mean you:
Aulonocara nyassae? Or A. stuartgranti? Or A. picturesque? Or A. baenschi?
I think aulonocara nyassae.
The ones from the zoo store just didn’t tell me the Latin name I asked them and they just said imperial bullshit…
On the sign there were also only Kaiserbuntbarsch…
But I asked if they understood each other and they said that would work without problems.
Next time in the zooshop, I’m going to ask another colleague.
Unfortunately, in the zoo trade, they usually have only a few to no idea.
