If you have good infusoria, you may put a full cup of it in the morning to the fry tank, which will keep them busy and fed the whole day, and just feed micron at the evening for the extra vitamin bump 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSwissAquarist Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 I pulled around 15 fungused eggs out of the specimen container yesterday evening, but woke up to find about the same number in freshly laid eggs. 😂 I wonder how long they can keep this up?

They say French is the language of romance.. You may be ok. Tetras tend to lay a lot of eggs at a time so I’m sure some fell through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 Just found one underneath the false bottom. This hobby is pretty frustrating sometimes. At least it was only a half-hearted attmept; I’ve got a bag of peat at the ready, so I might try with my glowlight tetras. Have a nice day Nerms!

TheSwissAquarist Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share Posted September 22, 2023 No luck with my neons so far, but an article on TFH recommends leaving them in for at least 2 days. My black skirt tetras are looking pretty fired up, and I’m already conditioning them with BBS as a plan B. School journey be like: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s golden! I have suspicions that my LFS only sells male neons and zebra danios. I can’t spot any visible females in the neon tetra school, and the zebras seem to be 5M : 1F. Kinda sucks.😑 However my Palaeatus Cory regime seems to be working! I’ve got about 10ish fry (it’s the farthest I’ve got them yet) Introducing Comet the female betta to my fave plakat went surprisingly well. He’s currently bubble nesting, and she’s chasing after him 😂. He stops to display, and then she avoids a collision at the last possible moment. It’s more fun than aggressive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can add a little moss to their box for them to graze off. (May already be there) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Remember that most of my huge Endler colony got killed by a bust heater (cold snap)? I spotted some new fry from the 4 that survived! 🎉🎉🎉 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
