So, I haven’t had a a loss in a while now, also my friend gave me 3 CPD’s for free, all males though. would that be fine? 5 males, 1 female. Hopefully they fare fine. I also got some water lettuce (mini type) to cover the top portion of my tank, so I guess that would help a lot.

I’m down with 3 CPD’s. I lost soo much money…
My friend is sending me some Water lettuce to cover part of the surface, so I maybe good after that. (fingers crossed)

it looks overstocked!
Other than that, very nice

Alright then, I have crushed up flakes right now, but I ordered some sample feeds, and I’m getting no card micro pellets, arctic copepods, golden pearls, and spirulina flakes. Hope those foods are good for the CPD’s. Using the spirulina as a treat and for the otocinclus. I do 50% water change every week since I follow this fertilizer dosing, is that a bad thing for the CPD’s or would it be fine?

This is my tank before putting in the CPD, minor changes were made.

Thanks

I saw the 5th CPD earlier, now, I’m wondering where the 6th one is, they are really good at hiding!

It’s been set-up for 2 months. It is an open tank, rimless. I’ve been looking for them for like 15 minutes, no sign of the 2. They were both females, so I only have 2 pairs now. The filter is mature

apparently, 2 CPD’s went missing when I got back from school.. Hm, What should be the cause? Are they jumpers? I’m kind of upset since I literally just lost 7 dollars. They were acting normally earlier before I left for school though. I fed them with crushed flake food and they all ate. Hopefully the ones I have now are going to live. *fingers crossed*

whoa nice!
Hopefully I’ll be successful with breeding my group.
Fingers crossed…

I have some extra sponges for the aquaclear 20 filter that I could put a hole into and just use it as a prefilter. Would that work?

THanks

Thanks! The CPD’s I got were breeding size, which made me really excited since soon enough, I might have some frys in my tank. Hopefully, I could get the CPD’s to breed. I only have an otocinclus in the tank with the group, which makes my chances higher of having frys. I still need to research on how to breed these fish though, but I’m learning.
