I figured not many people had seen livebearing Malaysion Trumpet Snails "making babies" and I caught mine in the act so i took a few pics..











Last pic obviously isn't a snail, but couldn't resist a snap-shot from above of one of my ADFs biggrin.gif

Enjoy

Don't we all love ADFs such personalities, got to have the experience of owning them and see for urself to really enjoy these guys..

lol.GIF I've owned up to 20 of them at one time,with 12 in one tank,and it was a riot!!!! The only bad thing that I can say about them is how sensitive they are to meds...I lost quite a few of them when my bristlenose showed up with cloudy eye,and I treated the whole tank instead of isolating the bristle..I've decided that the next time I start my adf collection up-it will be just a frog tank. By the way,I love your avatar!!! Corys are one of my top fav.non goldie fish. I have a cory tank with about 6 or 8 species of cory's in there. My albino's laid eggs the other day and I thought the snails and other cory's managed to eat them all,but I ended up finding a squiggle or two with an eye!!!..Mother nature will run its course-hopefully I'll have a few out of the batch!!! Have you ever bred them?

Sounds cool I tried to get my Corydoras to breed lowered temp down about 5-10 degrees fahrenheit(sp) threw in some blood worms and waited but nothing, maybe I have all males I cant tell but once temp dropped I noticed ALOT of chasing and some seemed to stand on their heads while others proded their "openings"..not sure though, may just be playing around..would love to raise some corydoras fry

biggrin.gif I finally figured out that out of my 4 albino cory's,that three are male,and of course one female...I tried the lowering of temps for ages with no results,so I kind of gave up on it.Like you,I wasn't even sure at the time if I even had a pair! lol.GIF A couple of weeks ago I did a water change and noticed all the cory's getting "froggy",meaning lots of swimming /chasing.next morning I started seeing eggs all over. Well as far as I knew they were all eaten,but I was happy to see that at least one type of cory had a pair. A couple of days ago I added alot of anacharis plants to the tank,and topped the tank off with a gal. or two of water,and they went crazy!!!! Go figure!!!! I still think that most of the eggs were eaten,and the fry are so darn tiny that I can barely see them-so now I'm afraid to do water changes!!! blink.gif Anyway...like I said-hopefully at least one shall live,and I can then say that yes,I have bred corys successfully!!! lol.GIF
