Hello
I though that I would list the results of my last water test done just after I noticed the new fry. Using a Tetratest kit the results are,
Temp about 29.5 degs C
ph about 7.5
GH about 17
CH about 4
No2 less than 0.3 mg/l
Co2 content shown as low on the graph with the kit.
I think my fish spawned following a good 1/3 water change using half RO and half tap water.
Ten fry seen so far.
I hope this helps someone.
Water paramaters at last spawn.
just curious
Hi,
Just curious..
Are the Zebs FO?
Have they ever spawned before?
How old?
Was the water a little cooler for your 1/3 water change?
If so what did the temp get down too and how long was the temperature down for?
Peace

Hi Troy
I don't know what FO means.
My tank has about 15 to18 adult fish in it so I don't know which fish have actually spawned this time but I had three batches of fry in early 2002.
I'm not sure how old the fish are. I have had them at least 5 years and I bought them as adults.
The water went down to about 25 degrees when I did the water change but it heated up to it's normal temp I would guess within two hours. I keep the fish in a Juwel Rio 125 tank / set up with an external Eheim Pro 2 Thermo filter fitted as well so there is quite a bit flow and the thermo heats water quickly when required.

F0
Hi GS
F0 is a term for wild caught fish.
F1s are first generation of tank raised/aquarium bred fish.
F2 are the fry from the F1s and so on.
Im guessing they are all FO.. if you had them 5 years and were already adults when you got them.
So that probabaly makes them at least 8 - 9 years old min
Congrats on the spawns!
