maybe just naturally weaker fish dying off? Still a nice number to have. What size and age are the ones in the pic?
I’m not sure how tough your import restrictions are? Have a look on Ebay for it.
That said, looking at the picure, although not fully clear, they don’t look unwell. What are you feeding them with? They tend to eat very small amounts and are very timid. It could just be that they are settling into the new tank.
Nice pic Ged!! How old are they? Got 8 fry now still not got a grow out tank sorted yet. How many youngsters have you got?
That is a gorgeous tank!! Welcome to the forum. Its FULL of info from when these fish first hit the shops. Very quiet site now though sadly but worth sticking around as there are still plenty of people who pop in to offer advice.
As for the troubled fish. It could just be that they are still stressed BUT it could be something else. I’m not one for treating unless I know whats bothering the fish but a good all round treatment that is plant/fish safe is Kusuri wormer and it is very effective against worms and parasites so worth a try. The problem with such small fish is that if they get ill, they can go downhill fast. Do you have any pics?
They really like live baby brine shrimp so if you can culture some yourself that would be an option
Never seen a shrimp net…I’ve done an online search and can online find those suitable for sea shrimp fishing! :shock: :lol:
Where did you get yours from please?
Good idea…might try it out if I can’t shift my other fish currently in my tank. Out of interest, how do you go about getting the fry before they are eaten?
excellent stuff Ged! I’ve got about three left so they must be getting picked off. I just have no where to put them until I can shift some discus in my 3′ tank.
Probably LOL!! In the process of trying to move fish to set up a fry grow out tank. Fingers crossed I have some left by the time its set up.
Thanks. Got some decap bbs on route. I think they are eating off the moss at the mo. How do I get the green water right?
I think its the best way forward. I love my shrimp…not as much as the CPD’s though. Once I clear a tank in the garage I’m going to get some CPDs in there
