Always nice to find a little surprise. Though this one isnt so little anymore.

I never use marine salt or any other fancy expensive salts. Just straight up salt from the grocery store without any iodine added. Its fine if there are any additives to prevent chunks. Small bags of marine salt are usually relatively expensive. So if you're planning to continuously hatch a lot of brine shrimp and you're willing to stick to marine salt, see if you can buy it in bigger bags. If your tap water is extremely soft it might dissolve the egg shells causing them to not hatch properly. Some people claim chlorine and chloramine in tap water affect the hatch rate, though personally I dont have any experience with that.

Leave them be, you'll most likely get another spawn sooner or later 😄 I dont think your current stock would predate on them.

Super Red Bristlenose Pleco eggs kicked out of cave

Im not sure what the price in store are and what the wholesale price is. But its all about calculating in the price of food / water / heating / rent. The longer the fish stays in the store the less profit is made. Im not an expert on the fish market in the us but generally people dont buy these fish by the dozen unlike say tetras. And sometimes you just have to be lucky indeed to get good genetics that have big spawns of them. Would be interesting to hear from @Cory what fish are cashcows and others that have little profit margins individually but larger volumes. -

Thats a massive spawn you got there. Seperate the parents if you don't want another spawn. I've had parents spawning every 3-5 weeks for a couple months. -
8 And a bunch of plastic tubs. I would take more if I had space for it.

Full water change? Did you replace all the water in the tank? That seems a bit extreme and should, in my opinion, be avoided. And I agree with Brandy, post a picture of your aquarium / setup so we can give you some pointers.

This doesnt look like planeria to me. Planeria is usually larger and doesnt have bristles. My best guess is oligochaeta. They seem to be harmless and beneficial, they clean up dead plant matter and are an alternative food source. I personally wouldn't worry about it unless your fish are starting to show symptoms. The bug on the left is cyclops.

Im a software engineer working for a company that builds optical fruit and vegetable sorting machines. We build the software and algorithms that drive these machines so that the next time you buy a bag of whatever fruit or vegetable you dont get any rotten pieces. With accurate sorting we try to reduce food waste and improve the overall quality of products. We can sort anything as small as blueberries up to watermelons.

This is a neat idea. Not sure exactly what kind of features you would want to see. I'll have some spare time in two weeks, maybe I can whip something together.

I'd make some small mini scapes or keep some shrimp in it. Its an interesting tank design.

Full glass is rarely cheaper. What I see a lot of people do here us building aquariums out of plywood and having a single window. Perhaps if you want smaller tanks and you can get some scraps you can cut it to your own size.

So whats everyones opinion on them? I went to the fish store today and saw they had balloon ramirezis. Never seem them before. They were a bit bigger than normal rams.

What are your water paramters? Do you clean the leftover food / waste from the bottom of the breeder box?
