Anyone on goodeids.com forum?

I'm having trouble registering there. i.e., I can't! Can someone give me a contact email or something so I can sort out the problem. Thanks!

I always have trouble with it to and the person who owns doesn't like it when you ask or say there is a problem and makes people feel stupid. he does that on the livebearers site too.

[PPulcher]

Do you have the email address for the site owner/admin? PM is fine.

I guess I could always look it up on whois as well...

Just don't offer any suggestions that imply something might not be to your liking...lol. Getting into Goodeids? I have found them to be an awesome fish - very tough for the most part, carefree and beautiful. They're prolific too - I see my Green Goodeid Mama is going to gift me again soon. But with smaller broods and longer gestations, they don't eat up as much space as some Livebearers can.

I think I can read between the lines.

I got some red tailed goodeids from Blaine via the Auction in October. I'm enjoying them very much. One of the attractions to these fish is the fact that I can keep many of the various species in unheated tanks. I also think the Call me a cheapskate! The other thing I find particularly interesting is the way the young derive nourishment from the mother, unlike poecilid livebearers. Cool stuff!

Wait until you see one give birth... OUCH....lol.

They really are a fascinating fish and definitly prefer an unheated tank, or the ones I've kept have anyway. Cheap has little to do with it for me - I ran out of electrical outlets....lol. I find the Eiseni & Splendens to be nippy in my community tanks, but they make a beautiful species tank, or add interest to a more aggressive community. Others have kept them with community fish though, so it might be a borderline thing.

The Greens are one of the longest I've kept. I've had several species come through here and loved every one of them overall. Definitly a great Livebearer all around and all of the wild-types have enjoyed a jump in popularity lately, so you should be able to move any fry at auctions, etc.

I may ship some Green Goodeid babies down for Herb to pass along to family, which means eventually he'll have access to babies... :wink: .

I'm pretty much a species tank kinda guy, but I can see how the eiseni would be boisterous in a community tank.

I'll bug Herb when those fish arrive :laugh:

Perhaps you could explain that concept to my Amecas, all 4 tanks full !

[Melody]

ROFL Well, it eventually catches up with you, it just takes longer than it would if you had a Swordtail spitting out 150 fry every month. But I can't deny 4 tanks worth of good points you have there:wink: . Speaking of which there's someone here in BC looking for them and I sent them to you.

"I'll bug Herb when those fish arrive"

You would bug ME ? I'm your neighbor ! I'm practically in the same fish club... Doesn't that count for something ? :twitcy:
