|  Re: half beak, dermogenys pusillus I think half backs are livebearers so you shouldn't really have a problem ;D

| Re: half beak, dermogenys pusillus yep they are live beares. in our aquarium BAP pionts they are a high piont fish which usually means they are hard to breed. But i look at itthis way...i cant breed a guppy or a convict so anything is tough for me. all my purple moscows guppies are pregant so i have my fingers crossed. and then u hear of people breeding these hard to breed fish like guppies.... all i can say is good luck |

| Re: half beak, dermogenys pusillus I have another question (not about my half beaks) but is there a way to clean a tank that has babies in it? Or should I just wait till they get bigger before I clean them. A friend gave me 15 red dwarf jewels and I have extra food and some dead at the bottom (oops). |

| Re: half beak, dermogenys pusillus yeah. u can clean the tank just depends on what extent. total tank breakdown would be bad, because u would have to go through the nitrogen cycle. but if u are just thinking about vacuuming the gravel, water changes, or doing small maintenence it shouldnt hurt the little ones a bit. the littleones would greatly appreciate a clean tank now while they are growing. |

| Re: half beak, dermogenys pusillus Im afraid of sucking them through the hose if i vacum the thing.... and the tank also has Java moss in it.... So how do I clean it without giving the thing a heart attack by being sucked through a hose. |

| Re: half beak, dermogenys pusillus just becareful, u might shake them up a bit running from the vac. but just becarefull and not do around the spots they hide. do half the tank now and other half later.... if they are close dont vacuum wait till they are away from it. |

| Re: half beak, dermogenys pusillus Ive got a 48" light sitting on 4 10gal tanks.... I turned them on for the first time and my Half beaks didnt seem to like it. They hid at the bottom and even went under the filter... I need the light on for the plants... got any ideas as to how and dim the light in just one of the tanks without blocking the light and starting the fire. |

| Re: half beak, dermogenys pusillus you could try making a cover out of plexiglass and cittung it to the size of the tank.then paint it black..this should stop some o fthe light ..but this would not be good if you have plants in the tank..but if there are n plants this would be the way i would try it. |
