Cosmas.OS Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 This was a tank i setup from late 2019 from an old jewelry case my mom had lying around, originally it was a 8ish gallon shrimp tank but it picked up other inhabitants along the way. Now the inhabitants include: Hundreds of cherry shrimp 8 briggitae (chilli) rasbora 5 adult ember tetra( freebie from the chilli rasbora purchase) 7 pygmy cory A handfull of pest snails and some rabbit snail. A few mjnth ago i started noticing ember tetra fry, and because i started feeding heavily most has grown to adult size. The problem i want to ask is will the population going to control itself or am i looking at the slowest trainwreck happening?. There are now at least an additiinal 4 juvebile ember tetra and another 6 fry under the pelia moss. I am certain i have adequate chemical filtration but ive never bred tetras before, are they gonna chocke my tank? T tank has an 1.5 inch gravel substrate with another 2-5 mm thick mulm layer on top filled with wiggly tubifex worms. Filtration is a hang on back with a giant pothos growing from it that needs trimming every week. I also added an airstone just in case it helps. Thanks for any advice/suggestion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 DIY stuff has a certain deep satisfaction. Rivaled only by aquatic life doing their own D.I.Y. breeding! 😜 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
