neons dying
ah...i know you guys won't bite. sorry, the guest person was me...i guess i forgot to log in when i post this question yesterday. i look up an aquarium fish handbook and find tat common cause for this disease is im sure i dont bang on the aquarium or catching or transporting the fish. :-?

brine shrimp
well..i would say too much water changes. i do 25% water changes perday. the sensitive fry died due to changes in water condition which they cannot adapt to? i guess that is not healthy. i stick to once a week. yea...not the bbs that causes the death. by the way i tried to feed the bbs yesterday and put them in a light source for a while. then i found they all died as well? die because of heat?

brine shrimp
ok....i sure wont be disheartened.. i will continue to breed them until i have a success. there something i still not quite sure of: 1. im sure i havent overfeed them, as i only took a teaspoon of shrimps (together with hatching mix of coz) and feed them. i see baby fish eat only a few of these shrimps. so i decided to feed them 4 times perday. 2. is feeding 4 times perday overfeeding? 3.or is it because shrimp will die in fresh water causes toxic water condition? 4.i remember when after i feed the them i do a 25% water change. these makes baby platties die too? i mature and kept in the fry in the breeder tank since the hungry community fishes will eat them.
