TheSwissAquarist Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Sooo, 50% or so of my BBS has died since being harvested. I’ve removed them, but more keep on dying. 36 hours in, how are yours doing @Theplatymaster? Looks like you might win. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSwissAquarist Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 This has actually been quite a fun project, seeing as my fish get a continual supply of brine shrimp each time I do a water change. My tetras have never been so frisky! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly 20 shrimp. If I put my mind to it, there are so few I could count them! 63 gal has had a trim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set the tank up in August 2021 and battled algae for a year until it became balanced. Haven’t changed stocking for fear of upsetting that balance. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theplatymaster Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 @TheSwissAquaristim on attempt 2. i ran out of room in my raising container so the cory fry got some fresh BBS, and i have a green water culture that im working on to feed the BBS. ive added a few squirts of green water for them to eat. also BBS for the corydora fry: in the picture you can see the BBS in the breeder box, i may have overfed a little, but the fry will what they are hungry for.

I have hair algae too but I just look somewhere else. I’m hoping the shrimp will eat it. I put the lights at 12 hr, maybe I need to go down to the 8 hr.
