    Nannostomus rubrocaudatus

    They were 3 for £20 so not too cheap!

    pyrrhulina australis breeding

    They may have hatched and moved away/been eaten. My Copella compta eggs hatch usually within 24-48 hours at approx. 76F.

    Nannostomus rubrocaudatus

    So I bought some red pencilfish which, on closer inspection (and ID advice from Tom) are N. rubrocaudatus. I have them in my planted tank so will see how they go on. Had them about a week and they seem to be getting on well so far. Lovely fish. Hope I get them to breed.

    pyrrhulina australis breeding

    Good luck, I'm hoping my P. cf. brevis spawn soon. Keep us updated on how you go on.

    I too am in Manchester! If you're after a nice, wild nijsseni male, I have one!

    This is my male Dicrossus filamentosus...

    I'd be after a female if you can sex them.

    5 foot biotopish!

    Here are a few recent pics from this tank, including some emersed amazon sword leaves.

    what I see at the microscope.

    I think you may have misunderstood me. Yes, I am trying to learn, but I am trying to learn where you have got this information from. When I studied parasites some years ago there was no mention of any kind of pore or anus, but only a blind-ended gut in trematodes. Yes, they have an excretory...

    what I see at the microscope.

    I don't wish to sound disrespectful, but where are you getting this information from? My idea of a complete gut includes an anus - which flukes don't have. Also, whilst flukes have an attachment organ, I've never heard of it described as a scolex outside of the cestodes.

    what I see at the microscope.

    Actually I'll retract what I said about the nematodes (last pic) at the end, however, as they could be larvae. The rounded shape at one end does resemble the head end of hookworms

    what I see at the microscope.

    What makes you think they are trematodes? Trematodes don't have a scolex and it doesn't appear obvious on the picture anyway. Also the images in 1-5 appear to have a structure running the length of the object which may be some kind of gut - trematodes have blind-ended guts and cestodes have no...

    Breeding splash tetras....

    Where the splash tetras play.

    Nannostomus marilynae?

    Ok. I was chatting to her via email a few weeks ago to try to confirm the identification of my Pyrrhulina cf. brevis. She seemed very nice.

    Breeding splash tetras....

    The other day I noticed one of my amazon sword leaves partly emersed so I pulled it out completely to expose it to the air. This morning I was wondering whether the splash tetras would lay on it or not. Tonight I took this photo (top leaf).

    Nannostomus marilynae?

    Are they named after Marilyn W? Oh and sorry, I know nothing of them.

    Breeding splash tetras....

    Re-homed them now. Hope this works. I had a sponge filter but it's too big for the 10litre tank so dug out an old airstone. Got to keep it in the cupboard under my big tank so rigged up a low wattage bulb too. Seem some semi-shoaling already.

    Id Panduro

    I would say A. panduro. Definitely not A. nijsseni. The black spot seems to vary in intensity in my limited experience.

    5 foot biotopish!

    It's only about 3 or 4 inches above water level. The males can easily splash that high. I removed the leaf and put it in a tub with my C. compta fry anyway.

    Breeding splash tetras....

    Let's hope so. Only in a small take away plastic tub at the moment though. Been using a turkey baster to do daily water changes. Am considering putting them in a breeding net in the main tank.

    Breeding splash tetras....

    Just counted about 70 fry in my tub. I hope I manage to keep a decent amount alive.
