did you get sorted with some?

[Tom2006]

whats yours price for a 1000? Thats a lot of fish!…are they bred by your good self?

[Tom2006]

No sorry I don’t. CPD’s are naturally timid but in a group of 15 should be ok. How big are the killis? Virtually all fish will eat shrimp if they will fit in their mouths

[Tom2006]

Congratulations!

Do you have plants in the tank? If so there will be micro life in there that they will feed on. Moss is superb for this!

I feed mine very very fine crushed food of any sort and after a few weeks you can try some baby brine shrimp.

[Tom2006]

I’ve never kept mine with other fish other than corydoras and plecs. They should be ok but they are very timid fish and like a nice mature tank so just keep a close eye on them for a while

[Tom2006]

Great advice from Dennis!

[Tom2006]

Don’t do it. Just cover the filter intake with sponge. Turning it off will crash your filter and probably kill your adults let alone any fry

[Tom2006]

more likely to be snail eggs. cpd eggs fall to the bottom and don’t stick and are VERY small

[Tom2006]

i’ve read lots of stories from people all around the world reporting similar swimming problems so for me it must be genetic even if there are ways to help lessen the problem. I just let the problem ones die if they were going to figure its survival of the fittest

[Tom2006]

When mine were breeding I had the EXACT same problem with some of the fry. Some when very small some when much larger. Some got better without any help at all and some just died. It must be some sort of problem with the fish themselves

[Tom2006]

Gorgeous fish!

[Tom2006]

Fingers crossed you don’t lose anymore

[Tom2006]

Have you seen any jumping since taking the crayfish out if not that’ll been the cause.

[Tom2006]

Mine have never jumped something is not to their liking and it could well be the crayfish. Sorry I’ve lost some.

[Tom2006]

Flying cpd! Lol good he landed in a tank. As Dennis says they don’t nip a nice peaceful gush
