well i hope you cant over filter i have a fluval 302 and 303 externals ( which i would not give a thank you for) and a rena xp2 in a 200 litre set up, all in all my tank water is filtered roughly 8 times an hour. my water is crystal clear but that could be the 50% water change i do weekly oh...
i have slowed the filter down to a very low outut and they seem to hold there own i also added some bog wood from the tank for shelter seems to be working just fine just ordered a brine shrimp achery so fingers crossed i can safe a few to grow on i love rams and just so happy they are breeding...
after i lost my first batch of ram fry i decided to set up a holding tank as cheap as possible due to xmas looming.
so this is what i did
i bought a plastic 20 litre tank from wilkinsons
i then bought a water but pipe that screws into down pipes to collect the water
firstly i drilled the tank...
up date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fry are now free swimming so i have put them into a holding net, cant believe we got this far with the first batch of eggs the parents have been great. I felt a little quilty removing the fry from there care
well i cant believe it i bought 4 bolivian rams last week and today two of them are guarding eggs.
As any 1 got experience of raising these fry?
Cheers Mat
hi not sure what filter you got there but oxegen is added to water by the water movement in the upper levels and not by adding air bubbles to the tank although a stream of bubles will ripple the water which adds to water movement. your light goes on in the day for aprox 8 hours and off at night...
well you could tell me more than i know i expect i go to the lfs and pick hardy fast growing and take my chances and it as worked up till now i use iron root tabs in the sand substrate i use multi ferts i got 2 wpg lighting left on for 9 hours.
the tank is filtered with 2 fluval 305 eternal...
No not at all they are great if not bloody expensive they just swim about together dont bother any other fish i love them there great and so undemanding
Hope this works if it does this a pic of my 210 litre tank i set up 2 months ago looking to use co2 shortly to to reduce algae and increase plant growth
Hi my nitrates are at 10% i do 2 water changes a week 20% wednesdays and 30% on sundays it keeps the water crystal clear and the fish look so healthy. I also over filter with two fluval 304 externals.
hope this helps
