My two week old bristlenose fry are having trouble today. About 10 dead just today. They are in a 10 gal grow out tank by themselves. The tank was cycled with a bottle of stuff from API, molly fish. Water tested great after three weeks with the molly fish and still good. Feed them cucumber yesterday and little flack food. The tank gets a 8L change each day out of 38L tank. There is a sponge filter and heated to 26 degrees.- 11 replies

I purchased some bristlenose fry at an auction, and they are eating ok, but not great. They are about 1.5". I'm growing them out with some some other fry who devour BBS, grindle worms, and moina, but the bristlenose don't seem to excited about anything: they'll nibble on frozen blood worms, algae wafers, and a piece of driftwood, but I'd like to see them eating better. Any suggestions? -
Hey crew, I hope everyone is doing really well. About 2 weeks ago I bought a few tetras rather spontaneously and didn’t have a quarantine tank so I bought this plastic tub from Bunnings (An Australian hardware store). It’s not too rigid and is 50L - although I haven’t been filing it completely. should I be worried about the set up spontaneously combusting?? There is some bowing of the plastic but it’s doing quite well and I haven’t noticed any cracks or anything like that. Im slightly worried it will burst or something but don’t know if this is just an irrational fear - so advice and experience would be greatly appreciated. Also I pulled a spawn from a bristlenose fair i have in a community tank who have been breeding in the driftwood but I’ve only just given them a cave. I have another bristlenose breeding project on the go but can’t see I to the cave and let them colony breed - so the babies stay in (I have multiple spawns in that tank. It’s pretty incredible to see how many babies there are. Even though I’ve got a tank teeming with them seeing the bucket full of fry is pretty crazy :)) PS. I hope no one has a breakdown over the rainbow gravel - I had it lying around after a 2nd hand tank purchase and wanted something ASAP so it got the call up haha
