Pseudohemiodon apithanos has always been one of our favorites in the fishroom.

A nice find in the fishroom today! Our Peru Woodcats laid a nice batch of eggs. They apper to been there at least 24 to 48 hours since the eggs have definite live embryos in each one.

In the comments we put 2 short videos where you can see the heads and tails wiggling inside the sac around the egg.

Recent batch of Red Lizard Whiptails L010a. These have been out of the cave about 3 days and are just under a 1/2" long.

Catfish we are currently growing out are Aspidoras poecilus, Aspidoras fuscoguttatus, Synodontis polli, Synodontis lucipinnis and these Red Lizard.

It's a great day in the fishroom!

It's been a while since we have done a fishroom project update so here we go!
It's always a sad day in October when we cover the fishroom window with foam and wood for the winter season. It truly gives a dungeon feeling when we get no outside light or air.
One of the reworked racks we have been working on is finally ready for water. You can see in the photos the drains for the auto water changer have been installed on the tanks on that rack. In the next couple of weeks we will be bringing the new water lines back to this zone so we can get it started. There is a zone ahead of this one that includes 5-125's 12-75's. and 8-55's. Those tanks will all be fed fresh water for two hours a night for 2 nights a week. A single overflow will comfortably keep up with 16 gph flow. The 125's have double overflows so they will handle 32 gph. With a two hour flow time every tank on the zone will get a 50% water change twice a week. Eventually we may adjust the run time back to achieve a 35% water change twice a week but for now we are starting at 50%.
The water change system is a very long term project but our goal is to be done with it by late spring or at latest we WILL be done by early June. Oh by the way, the Greater Akron Aquarium Society (GAAS) has a fish show/swap/auction every June. On Saturday between the Swap and the show dinner we will be offering a short open house during that down time at the show. So if you come to the show or swap you can drive the extra 10 minutes to see our hatchery. If there's not enough time for everyone to come then we can probably be convinced to let others come after the dinner and speaker or those that came earlier can come back and hang out. If any of you have a guitar and think you can sing we can have small bonfire in the driveway and folks can hang out instead of going home or back to your hotel.
Stay tuned more updates coming soon, we promise they won't be so far apart.

October has 3 more fish auctions! Fish auctions are a great way to spend the day with like minded people while picking up some great deals. Whether you are a buyer or seller check out these fun auctions and get rid of extra tanks and supplies or sell a few fish to make room for new breeding projects. From guppies to discus you never know what you'll find at an auction.

10/07/2024

October is a busy month! Get out to an auction. You never know who or what you will find at an auction.

Nice crowd at EAS (Erie) auction today. Get out the cold and come buy some fish.

Project update: Started testing the first 2 zones (about 60 tanks) of our auto water changer, happy to say absolutely no issues. We wished we would have started this project 3 years ago when we bought all the parts. Lol. We are letting the 2 zones run for awhile so we can check on them but tonight they will be running unsupervised. The green emmitors are running 8 gph so we will be running them on their scheduled nights for an hour at a time.
