Well Scott, u chose one of the harder strains to breed.... pigeon bloods. :x
Scott - thats why I no longer use sponge filters. Just some white filter wadding to cover the filter intake.
Ahhh Kev this isnt the pigeon bloods.......in fact you should know these fish very well!! Its the Red SSS and the blue diamond.
Well i got new fish today and broke the golden rule. I didnt have a QT tank.. :shock: :evil: :cry:
eheh well anyway i put them in a divided tank with the pair with the fry, anyway i turned the lights off too put them in, in the mean time the fry has swam through my egg crate into the new fish's side.
Well lets just say it didnt take long too find there apitite :shock:
Ahhh well at least i know they can get the fry on their backs, ill have a 2fter for them soon. Still have about 10-20 fry on them but i dont think it will last with hungry mouths just on the other side of the egg crate.
I think its time i hurried up and built that breeding rack.!!
Its finally great news to hear that the crystals are producing for you Scott.
Did you ever doubt me???? hehe
Ive actually removed all my plants and will cover the black inlet valve with white dacron similar to lady reds setup.
I will also lower the water level AND ...
use smaller breeding cones!!!!!!! i want them laying not so hi up! too much effort in picking up fallen wrigglers and eggs.
I believe this will make a diffrence especially in such a large tank
ps. you get that decent camera yet scott??
Regards
Nick
yellows fry didnt attach this is the SSS x bd pair.
Gotta set this breeding rack up as i have 3 pairs in the one tank atm.
