Dachende Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hi - Just thought I'd post a few snaps I managed to catch today - luckily I had a quick look in the tank, was on my way out ! Not sure if anyone is that interested, but it was very entertaining for a first timer ! :happy2: Apologies for quality, didn't really have time to change camera settings or play with lighting ! Step 1 , make bubble nest Step 2 , Show off new pad to the missus Step 3 , Lock the door behind you, it's pewpew time ! Methyl blue going in once they've finished their funky time to prevent fungus. Female will be removed to avoid aggression/murder. Plants coming out (2 stems of cabomba and some moss) Filter off so no current - Will replace with sponge filter tomorrow. Frequent small waterchanges . Question time : Have I missed anything ? Am I on the right track ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I would drop the water level down to about 100mm and make sure a lid is keeping the air above the water line warm and moist. I have never used meth blue on fighters because the male will usually keep the eggs clean but I guess it wont do any harm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the lid/temperature idea to prevent pnuemonia when the fry make their first surface breach ? I remember reading about it Would regulating the temperature of the room in question also help this to an extent ? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
