Re: [APD] Aquatic-Plants Digest, Vol 57, Issue 15



 Boy!, I can really relate to this subject! 3 weeks ago I was sent some
large Java ferns as a bonus with a bubble checker I bought off a friend.
Two days later, 20 new Black Neon Tetras started hatching a day for the next
8 days! Also 50 new yet to be identified white colored fish (with a gold
speck near the head) started hatching at the same time!, and I just
discovered a large dallop of eggs still attached to the ferns soon to hatch!
(They may be Angelfish)
I'm glad now I decided to put the ferns in my 39 gallon shrimp tank!
It's a fun surprise when stuff like this happens!
(A bit of a headache but, still fun!)

> I had that happen last summer with some silver hatchets. The tank had
several N stellata that took over the water surface and were competing for
light with my swordplants (E radicans). There was an infestation of mites,
so I bought 5 hatchets to deal with them. The hatchetfish thrived and soon
there were a bunch of little ones. I managed to have 7 of the little guys
grow up to become adults. I lost almost a dozen or more of them to suicide
despite trying things like lowering the water level and such-it was an open
top tank. The adults never bothered trying to fly away, they were too fat
from all the live goodies they got everyday. pH varied between 6.8-7.2 in
the tank and water temps climbed up into the 29-30?C range. Activity was
most pronounced after a water change, I used the new water to wash the bugs
off the leaves and misted daily.

> The same tank also holds a group of Leopard Tatia, just recently noticed
some baby tatia hiding out under the lily leaves. I'm hoping they'll fare
better than their predessors-easy to breed but hard to raise for some
reason.

> The mystery sword proved to be self fertile, the flower stalk burst out
with some large flowers about the size of a Canadian Quarter, they were
white with 3 leaves much like a Trillium's. The flowers lasted for several
weeks then started to wither, the center began to swell and there are
numerous seeds developing. I'm hoping to have some success with these, if
possible I'll use the same method as I used to proprogate my N stellata.
