kiwiraka Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 You'll want to give them some hiding places. Remember they like quite high flow. Have they started eatimg yet?

Silverdollarboy2 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 You'll want to give them some hiding places. Yup I will get some this weekend hopefully. Remember they like quite high flow I've got a small pump spare so I'll put it in. Have they started eatimg yet? I am feeding the brine shrimp with a syringe atm. Also you might be interested in looking at this old thread: viewtopic.php?f=41&t=42386 I found the thread the other day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdollarboy2 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 As soon as I put the pump in one of the dwarf galaxias plonked itself in front of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 keep up the O2 and keep it cool. Two pumps will warm up a small tank quite fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdollarboy2 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yup I will keep up sliker pads and I'll try to get a fan and a thermometer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverdollarboy2 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Because I'm very close to the ranges and no other galaxias have been recorded near me except one or two populations of koaro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverdollarboy2 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 A bit of an update: I've got them eating JBL granocolour, heart and prawns and one of them has grown quite fast. I also put a few rocks in the tank which they seem to like. Pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Theres some nice native tanks around but be aware that in Auckland, as in most other parts of the country, you will need a chiller to keep the temp down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
