Check out our farm page for our non-fish related animal adventures! (That page is ran by my MIL so any fish questions will need to come here)

Meet Scarlet! She is the most dramatic one of the bunch. She doesn't like a litter box and will flip it over or if unable to do that, she will empty in 2.5 seconds by digging. She is smart and sassy and loves a challenge (including figuring out how to get out of the pen). She does let Alexia hold her (Alexia is the bunny whisperer after all), and everyone else is allowed to get a few pets in when we are feeding her. She makes 3 animals we own that are white with blue eyes.

Looks like we have a reluctant Romeo on our hands! Despite his beauty, this male isn't quite ready for breeding yet. But don't worry, we'll give him another chance to prove himself in the future! For now, back with the males he goes

How to determine male vs female in african cichlids by venting. You can't always go by color because some males aren't very colorful and some females can show some color

Unfortunately the first batch was infertile as the female spit them out a few days later, waiting on him to breed another female....there's one female in particular he's interested in but she's been playing hard to get so wish my boy luck 😂

First breeding of the year! Can't wait to see how these babies turn out!

05/12/2024

Got my females chosen and will be putting the male in either today or tomorrow! Hopefully it's a success!

Getting a tank re-setup to breed a few batches of babies from this boy! I know he's not the best quality and he's a hybrid but I love the way he looks and want more like him, I might sell some too but idk yet

I'm considering holding off on breeding peacocks/haps for a while and maybe breeding one of these 3 breeds instead, what do y'all think? I love the peacocks, don't get me wrong, but i'm restarting with purebreds and might have more luck selling mbunas until I get my name out there more

This guy is a spitting image of his father, Gomez.

03/03/2024

Can't wait to breed this guy this summer! Hoping he'll make some beautiful babies.

I swapped my filters around and moved my fx4 to my display tank and moved the sunsun that was on my display tank, to the selling tank, can't wait to see if it makes it a lot clearer. It seemed to keep the sell tank clear. This is how it looks right now

This little guy is slowly showing some more color! Can't wait to see how he looks as an adult. So far no others of his breed have colored up any, so it's looking like he will (Hopefully) be my breeder male to continue this hybrid strain.

Also, i'm going to basically "restart" on breeding once I get all of these fry/juveniles rehomed/sold. Now that I have a more proper set up, I can actually have more control over who breeds with who. I will also narrow down the breeds and frequency as well. I will only stick with super red empress/fire hap, zebra obliquidens × red empress, and occasionally, OB's until I have my name out there more and have more of a customer base. I was hoping to get into an expo this year as a vendor, but i'm not sure if that's going to happen.

Let them try a superworm tonight since they seemed to like the mealworms, of course Gomez hogged the whole thing lol. Trying to get a mealworm breeding thing started (For personal use only) so I can add mealworms to their diet without it costing a whole lot

I can't decide on whether to get a solid black background, or get one of the 3d rock backgrounds for this tank, what do y'all think?
