Reply To: Hi all and have a question for you

Today I decide to do some water change from the tank I have 3 CPD trio is in. This is the 2nd tank I put them in since the 1st one have enough free-swimmers and I know the adults sometime eat the small fish sticks.
Anyway, they have been in the 2nd tank for about 2 weeks now and I was wondering when I see the fish sticks on the tank surface. Although I have not see any, then again I missed it since the tank have black sands in it and I also put some glass marbles on top ot the sands to discourage the adults to eat the eggs and frys.
And I took out like 2 gallon with vaccum but without the hard plastic part so not to disturb too much. And I saw 2 fish sticks on the bottom of white pail. I guess I have some frys in the 2nd tank now.
I guess I should set the 3rd tank so I can move them soon before they try to eat their young.
I guess setting another small tank is not such a bad problem to have. Although I need to find the right size tank and spot to set it up.

Hopefully another 2~3 weeks(while the adults would be in the 3rd tank), the 1st batch in the first tank get big enough and I can move them to bigger tank(probably 20Long) that I have frys from the Corydoras are in and also have a cave that I think the Daddy Albino bristlenose is guarding eggs/frys at the moment.
Hopefully 3 small tanks is enough to rotate and move the adults around. And hopefully by January which should be over 12 weeks, I have some young CPD. Of course, I would offer them first to my aquarium society. But I already have one store told me that they would take whatever I have left. :wink:

Although there are no visible frys in the 2nd tank, I imagine there must be another 50 between eggs and fish sticks. And they should show up in a week. I just need to move the adults so they will not make the snack out of the future CPD. And I need to keep and grow them to be about 12 weeks. And hopefully I find them a good home and I get some fish money. So I can get more fish supply.
