DutchKiwiCowboy2 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I've just set up a 3'tank and looked into getting some threadfins but unfortunately they wouldn't fare well with my tiger barbs. In my breeding book it suggests that the baby's need infusoria or powdered fry food for several weeks before they can take newly hatched brine shrimp. Be careful not to allow the water to get polluted because they are very susceptible to ammonia poisoning. They also need high oxygen levels so gentle airation is a must. Provide spawning mops or something like java moss for them to lay amongst. Hope this helps, Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
