Welcome to the forum. Keep posted.

Layout is good but is it too bright for 46?

My colony of 46 started breeding just after one and half month. It is a great pleasure to have in such a short period Low TDS water, high protein repashy food and rainy season might helped. Now at wriggler stage with dad in cave. I wonder how to raise the fry in a way of faster growth rate. Two scen...

Also keep eye on the temperature. Fry require higher temp like 29-30C.

Calcium stones can raise pH and KH. Unless your water is acidic may be less than 6 you may use it. Or you don't do frequent water changes it may help to maintain pH as reduced by acids generated by Nitrification process. Otherwise no extra benefit from it.

Should check water parameters and temp. They are really too beautiful to loose like that.

Hi,
I'm feeding Repash Meat Pie and they love it. Need to prepare one time and then freeze and use daily.
But well worth of money since 1 portion become 4 portion after prepare. Also free of fillers and binders.

Welcome here. Always good to have more 46.

You can put eggs to a external breeder box with airlift or use floating breeder box. That way eggs/fry are in same tank as parents hence lower the casualities. Frequent water changes will help to maintain clean water.
Good luck.

Learn from the experience and groom them for next spawn. Good
Luck.

They are quite adaptable but as keepers we should try to mimic biotope as much as possible.

Wow TTA,
I was shocked to read that level of detail. It may put us to think in a different way about 46 tank setup.
Thanks for sharing it.

How old ur babies?
Change of water parameters may effect them negative way.

Well, finally they start feeding on Repashy meat pie. Looks like they cant resist it.
