Blimey thats great Sioban.

Tizer has some available atm i think?! If not then these will be 50p each if they survive.

How are the fry doing...size etc....I never know how big they should get to before selling them...not that I have had luck with corys, but I think I would get attatched to them! lol
stupid woman that I am

Fry are about the size of Livebearer fry when first born atm. They are starting to show a bit of colour now. Doing really well imo.

Small 10% water changes daily and feeding twice daily with fine BBS.

Doing good

Any pics

Ive got all on photographing fish that are 6" let alone ones that you can hardly see

A few have died and gone furry, so have removed as many as i can everytime a do a water change, probably around 100 left now. Definately a great experience though!

Yay! Congrats.

 

[minnnt]

Thanks.

Still going well. Moved them on to crushed prima now.

Another update...

I haven't looked at them for a few days as the missus has been seeing to them. Had a quick look last night and wow! They have grown pretty well!

I think I am going to move them to the empty 125 now which will give them 3 times as much space! Will add a few rocks along with some plants and bog wood. Should be a nice grow out tank! Will also include plenty of moss too.

Anything else needed??

 

[Tizer]

Sounds good mate, cant think of anything else, they are pretty easy to care for really!

Mine are all gone now, so have a 90 litre tank with 5 of them left to keep the filter ticking over, looks a little empty now!

Pondering something new to have a go at in there, cant decide what to do. Bit limited with hard water, would love some Rams or Apistos

 

[minnnt]

Hmmm awkward mate. Anything you can do to soften the water?

 

[Tizer]

without an investment in an RO unit, not really, i can get one for £80 odd quid next month, might just crack on and do it, already got a feed under the kitchen sink to plug it into.

 

[minnnt]

Sounds good... Would it come in use for the big tank too?

 

[Tizer]

na, they are happy enough in tap water, no point changing it really.

 

[minnnt]

No benefit then other than to soften the water?
