Liddojunior Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I have various nanofish that have been successful at colony breeding. And hatch bbs as consistently as I can but know that some fish fry are much too small to eat bbs. Ive basically relied on the mulm and ecosystem of the tank to provide the small enough foods for small fry. Since I’m not collecting the eggs, I was thinking of optimizing a way to have a continuous source of the micro organisms available. I was thinking of using a breeder box with moss/catappa leaves to act as a sort of refugium for micro organisms. I bought the fluval holder and breeder box, which is basically an “air driven hang on back filter”. With the idea that microorganisms can flourish in a safe space and continuously flow into the tank with the return flow. Has anyone tried this before? Or opinions on the idea? I’m not sure if copepods and worms that live on surfaces would actually free float back into the tank. And it would require physical effort to move them into the tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
