Well, Brooksie has been off the forum for a few weeks, except for a post here and there. No one really cares why, so I won't bore you!!

My feeder breeding has started off slow but so far success. My original black molly baby is still alive and hungry as ever! He is growing like a weed.

I purchased 5 guppies. I awoke the next morning to 5 guppy babies. I have lost 2 of the adult guppies. Currently I have placed one very fat guppy in the breeder box in hopes of lots of babies.

The black mollies are surviving, 2 currently look preggers... not squared off yet. But I have the "Brooksie patience pants on" and am confident of more babies.

Well, that's the update. No pics... sorry, camera issues.

Brooksie

so glad your back! im back to breeding feeders to. common minnows though. they happen to be live bearers and free! congratulations on the babies!

I lost the cycle in my tank (rookie mistake) when I purchased a new filter. Which caused me to loose some of my original mollies. All have been replaced and I added the guppies. That damn molly baby survived though! And my pleco! I wanted fish that had a lot of babies, often and that wouldn't be too big for my JD to eat.

im sure it sucks to loose a cycle. never experienced it though. glad all is going well now!!!

And your 100th post was on my thread!! I feel so lucky! Keep up the good work my friend. You have a lot of experience to share!!

Back to the thread topic... (insert Noddy's hi-jacked thread pic here)

Losing a cycle is horrible! You work so hard to get it and then BAM... it's gone! Oh well, done and over and this "semi-experienced" fish keeper will not make that rookie mistake again! Hopefully!

i doubt you will! some things only take one time! and i believe loosing a cycle would be one of those things!

Hey brooks, post the pictures, it will be very very nice to see your babies.

congratz brooksie
i have missed yu =]

hey brooksie, perhaps you haven't seen my other post in funniest thing......
i am waiting for your post along with Nicki-sue

I did see it... commented last night! Your too funny Paul!

So I guess I spoke way too soon. Apparently I do NOT have my cycle back in my feeder/breeder tank. However, the only level that is off is the ammonia, 0.25 barely!!!

And apparently because of that... for lack of a better reason... my 2 week old black molly died this afternoon. :angry: :angry: :angry:

Sometimes I hate fish keeping !!

Aww honey I am sorry.... I know losing them sucks.. Chin up and start over!
