hi yann, oui oui

i still got 39 or 40 ..


farid

That is an amazing result

thanks Havaard

what kind of food did you start with?? with what size do you think i can move them to a 30L tank ?? or would you leave them in the small glastank (in the big one)??? the size of the inhanging one is about 29x24cm...

cheers
farid

I gave them crushed peas, deshelled artemia naupli, spirulina flakes and the jbl stuff Janne suggested earlier in the thread.

A word of caution: I probably killed a few fry by giving them powdered tetra discusbits. They loved it, but looked like a picasso after feeding, and some died. I can`t be sure if the powdered discusbits killed them, but I won`t use it again.

hi havaard,
maybe the discus stuff was a too heavy load. I dont know actually if the L200 LF should be fed mostly with vegi or meat...as mine go for both like crazy...i have spirulina/artemia flakes and bits...i'll try both. maybe the stomach does not manage only meet as discus granulate has a high meet percentage??

UPDATE:
i found one dead this morning ...the rest is growing slowely

farid

amazing pictures!! nice job with them!

Tahnk you andy. it's getting more difficultnot to catch them witht the camera as they are more activ. actually i leave them until they get tired. i use 2-3 animals so sometimes thes lay behind each other so the chance is bigger to get something .

@Havaard

hi yann,
thanks the first babygroup is doing well in the adult tank!

i didnt even do much in the L200 tank feeding normaly and doing my waterchanges...as my "potfilter" is not really doing it's job well i kept cleaning it in compination with big waterchanges (tap water) so tonight i have to measure the parameters as i actually missed that.

i usually dont try adjust any past parameters again to hope for any spawning...but usually i meet these parameters doing what i have to...using my fingertips

more soon

farid

UPDATE:
the second bunch of eggs is hatching...the first L200 fry is out of the cave. this time not a early hatch! it looks quite good.
