Hi Nick

The containers are in the shade and water is aged 24/48 hours before use.
What kills me, I didn’t notice any signs to what you described and what’s painful, my tanks are as clean…I did however, lose 5 discus spawns prior, which had me guessing why at the time and agree, they must have got ...

Hi Edlund

This was my thought. They would benefit from the feeding schedule. I now “had” in my possession what I have been dreaming of for as long as I can remember with great expectations of growing them out and eventually breeding them, so imo this would be a perfect place for them.

Hi

It was a very sad day. As Rowland pointed, bad water conditions but where was I going wrong, all my water is treated and polished outside in containers and if the water prams are not the same, it does not enter my tanks. I have a strong hygiene in husbandry and this has really broken my heart ...

Hi Rowland

So glad you joined in….they’re doing great, they only grab the daphnia once they are on the bottom and can’t escape… :lol: , still working out what food the prefer from the menu. Speaking of recipes, I was wondering if food that contains Astaxanthin may turn them pink???

I have angled the inlet tap to ...

Hi

I have been visiting this forum for a while and have learnt so much through the experience of the member’s posts, however still nervous to have them in my care.

My friend brought them in. A total of 19 and as far as I know these are the first in SA.
Hopefully, I can grow them out and maybe ...

Hi all

My name is Peter, I have been in the hobby for a while and enjoying every minute. It started so tranquily with a planted 3 foot and then turned into a passion of note :oops:
I have been trying for couple of years to get the L046 to a point where I was giving up hope, but I’m pleased to say ...
