curviceps Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 also beware of mum beating up dad. doesn't always happen, but fish have individual temperaments and it depends on whether there are places for the male to get away to... if it happens, you can always seperate the dad.

Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 oh yeah so whats the verdict? will i need greenwater? if i do its leave a lettuce leaf in a jar of water in the sun aye? and then how do i feed it to them?

curviceps Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 greenwater is not compulsory - microworm worked for me. baby brine shrimp (bbs) is more nutritious, and bigger than microworm - but i found microworm easier to culture and harvest compared with bbs.

Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 right now that the sponge filter has been cycling in the main tank for a week do i put it into the new tank with all new water and fish straight away or do i run it a couple of days and then add fish?
