Holy moly these markings are fire 🔥

In my opinion 2 of the nicest looking entry level fish in the hobby and just so happens I got a photo of them side by side 😁

L134 leopard frog pleco and Longfin superred bristlenose

Bit of breeding dance action from the L007 vamps during water changes!

The first spawn from these guys didn't work out but they have started trapping again this week which is good to see! hopefully we get another shot at hatching some little vampires soon 🤗

Hooley Dooley more double spawns in the fish room! I knew there was fry in the cave but did not expect a fresh batch of wrigglers to exit aswell 😆! Big props to dadda 397 hatching, raising and keeping all these little tackers in the cave! I have my hands full looking after 1 baby 😅

This male L201 must be extra handsome or something.. 2 generations of wigglers still in the cave and has another female trapped... meanwhile the other males in the tank aren't getting any action 🤷‍♂️.

I have had double spawns in caves before with other L's where eggs are laid with wigglers still in the cave or two lots of eggs that hatch days apart but if this trapping is succesful and they lay this will be the 3rd spawn in 4 weeks in this cave with consecutive spawns laid while still minding wigglers which I have never had before.. you can see the older fry which are darker showing spots then the younger fry up the back still with yellow egg sacks and glimpses of the trapped females fins under the male.. I wonder what this male is doing the others aren't 🤔 I have now nicknamed him Pete Davidson 😆

Game changer! $29 over the door basket organiser from kmart. I used to use a 3 drawer trolley but found it hard to get in at and see things but this back of the door organiser has everything easy to see and access! 10/10 would recomend 😁

Left these wrigglers too long in the cave and they got too smart and good at hanging on 😆 managed to get 32 of them out with a few left for dad to keep looking after I guess 🤷‍♂️. I use the shake and stand the cave up method to entice them out how do you guys do it?

Nice big healthy spawn from the 333s though 😁! Discovered a couple 201 spawns this morning aswell🥳 and the 007s have been trapping a couple days now so 🤞I get my first spawn out of those guys 😁.

Happy pleco keeping friends 🤙.

I honestly think dwarf shrimp are one of the best pet choices for children, bright colours, low maintenance, manageable size tank and equipment + if they put some effort into it it's a great way to earn some pocket money. 😁

Great to see some coverage in the news.

Happy sh*****ng friends 🤙

Move over adorable puppies, there's a new pet moving in on the lucrative companion market and attracting big dollars from keen owners. Meet the freshwater dwarf shrimp.

Hooley Dooley got some close up footage of this lady showing off her berries 🤩

I'm not sure why all the ladies in this tank are carrying babies but my other tiger tanks are not having as much luck 🤷‍♂️ they all get the same treatment, all get the exact same temp movements as they are heated by the room, same feeding regime, same water volume except the fancy tigers.. it's a mystery 🤔! But figuring these things out is what makes sh*****ng/fish keeping so interesting 😁

Been a while since I posted so heres an update! lots has been happing! squeezed a few more tanks in overhead and added a bunch of new caridinia and pleco species to work on! and lots of reshuffling of tank inhabitants to focus on rarer stuff for you guys 🥳.

The plan now is to move on some pleco groups I dont have the space to keep breeding (pm for list 😁), and get back ontop of maintenance and fry raising with everything running smoothly (newborn has me behind in this department 😆).

This means I have set the very difficult task of not buying anymore fish for the rest of the year 😬! Doesn't mean you guys shouldn't load up though 😉.

Hopefully launch a Website before year end with stocklist and maybe if time permits a YouTube with a fishroom tour and some handy tips and tricks on how I run things.

Happy fishkeeping friends 🤙
