Ive started quite a few new bap projects lately and was curious what everyone else was working on?

I'm currently trying my darnedest to get 6 of each of the following:

N. Anomala
X. Alvarezi
X. Cortezi
C. Imitator
B. Badis Badis
P. Sphenops
B. Conchonius

Shane and Myself are putting together several ideas on some Creative combinations of Angel fish. Right now we are just tossing around ideas, but i feel we are getting closer to getting things going. I am sure there will be some pictures so Stay Tunned


I am also in the middle of getting some racks built and adding some more MUCH NEEDED electrical to the Fish room. I plan on taking pictures of this as well.

my plan has some heartbreak but hopefully will pay of. I am semi tearing down my fish room and taking almost 95% of my angelfish breeding pairs(15pairs) to this weekend swap meet, then when I get back I plan on adding better insulation to the fish room and heating it with gas rather than 50 250watt heaters, and using the pairs that dont sell to restart it all back up. my electric bill is to high as of lately, my fish room also contains my home a/c which cools the room alot, so I am sectioning that part of the room off and hopefully I will be Cookin with gas

I am going for the Master BAP level. Was going to stop but don't want to. I will need to complete two more classes and muster a few more 20 point fish to get there. Achieveable but a challenge as it should be. Going to continue to try and get my seahorses to produce. May try the loach class but they are not easy fish to spawn so I may fall back on tetras as my final class. I love BAP and want everyone to participate.

I'm trying to participate but the fish won't cooperate!

I am hoping to complete 3 more classes by the end of the year. I need 2 more NW cichlids, 1 substrate spawning OW, and 2 livebearers.

Projects
New world
Parachromis managuense
Parachromis dovii
Hypsophrys Nicaraguensis

Old world
Pelmatochromis nigrofasciatus
Hemichromis lifalili
Xystichromis phytophagus
Paralabidochromis sp. "Rock Kribensis"

These are pretty sweet! Thanks to Jack. They are a very interesting fish to watch interact with each other and their tankmates.

I bet the bluegill are loving you right now. LOL

The Dovii wouldnt come out in the open they just wanted to chill in their own caves. As soon as I added some dithers they got alot more active and started hangin out together. So far I dont see any damage done to the bluegill but we will see what happens if they go to breed. I will probably have to pull them out.

After having my Belonesox for a year now, after they've eaten their fry at leat 4 times, I was finally able to save the last brood of fry. The trick was letting the tank get so completely overgrown with Vallisneria that they can hardly move, which allowed the babies to hide from hungry parents.

Hmmm...

1. Not killing the fish I have
2. Finishing old world (need three substrate spawners to do that voodoo)
3. Breeding 12 species of Apistogramma and BAPing them (x indicates done)
- Apistogramma agassizi "double red"
- Apistogramma atahualpa "Sunset"
- Apistogramma bitaeniata
x Apistogramma eunotus "orangeschwanz"
- Apistogramma panduro
x Apistogramma schwarzkinn "black-chin"
- Apistogramma trifasciata "Maciliensis"
- Apistogramma viejita II "Red Form"
- Apistogramma pertensis
- three more species to be determined later
4. Breeding the red shiner (native fish).

I think I might try to spawn my P. Furcatas, which from what I read will need to start with me making a spawning mop or two and harvesting the eggs. Apparently that is the easy part, the rest is keeping them alive. Anyone else have experience breeding these adorable creatures?

I'd also like to breed the pygmy corries and scarlet badis but since they will be co-inhabitants in a ten gallon I'm not too hopeful that it will happen.

Talk to Patty, I think she has spawned several rainbows.
