SamH Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Only BNs, I removed the platies when I saw the eggs. Noob fish I know but I can't afford or keep anything better alive. This algae looks like a bright green ball of thread has been dropped just below the surface, not natural. :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 What kind of algae is it Sam? I have some lovely hair algae in my 4 foot tank at the moment. I should probably do a tank blackout but I don't think I could handle not looking at my tank for 3 days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Not sure what kind, don't think it's hair algae. I want to do a blackout on my 54L, the hair algae in the hairgrass is horrible but I want the stems to grow heaps for Twinkles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 hydrogen peroxide will help get rid of said stringy algae. So would a rotating chopstick but I CBB right now. 8) Nope, no updates yet. All that's happened is the BN's bred, there's now a floating breeding net, the glosso is rooted and spreading, the hairgrass is failing and the Rotala has just about reached the surface. What a mess :roll: Just get Some neons for now. I got a good as deal on some, 30 for $36 8) . Where would I put them? They'd eat my baby BN's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Your BNs should be right and if not they'll learn to hide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1CK Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 , but if he has say 100 BN and he raises them and then sells them for $2 each he will then be able to buy 165 neons :lol: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: (but glowlight raboras would be better ) I would like a picture pleeeeeeeeeasssse :evil: :evil: :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I can't imagine neons eating baby BNs. BNs are pretty good at hiding. +1 vote for a photo update! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I doubt they'll sell for more than $1.00 each If they're so good at hiding, why can I see lots of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our pet shop sells them for $12.40 ea I really need to learn how to use the flash camera properly -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yeah, they go for around $10-$20 at various pet stores around here. I'll offer them on here first but then hit TradeMe if they don't all sell here. Gotta get them to survive first though. :-? Might grow some up in the 2ft cube though and try and get some more pairs from there. Can they breed in 1M/2F trios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Feed em up, keep the tank big, plenty of Driftwood and you're set. Just don't tell them you want them to breed, they prefer to do it in the most inconvinient of times :-? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
