mat692 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 had some baby platties die in a breeding net with some java moss in it. Im picking it got too hot with the light close to the net as about 20 died and 3 survived some looked like there stomach was coming out of there side and the rest were pale., They were only one night old so no big loss but is the light theroy a good one?

karen84 Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Sorry to hear about your fry. Did you check your water stats? Maybe something to do with your water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Hey, The exact same thing happened with my baby plattys just the other day. I was gutted. Now that you mention it out breading tank is rather close to the light. The first lot of babys she had was out of the breading tank and they survived longer than this lot (that is before they got had for breaky) So im stumped!!

Keri Anne Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 May have been lack of water flow? Was there an airstone in the breeding net? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caper Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 May have been lack of water flow? Was there an airstone in the breeding net Hmmm, as I posted in the disease section I think :-? anyway to make a long story short...the breeding trap is for a sick platy, its made of plastic and has openings in the bottom. (thought there were tiny wholes on the top too until closer inspection, not! After reading this, I'm wondering if there would be enough air circulation, it's only small & an airstone would be too powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
