A morning of water changes

I tested the fry tank for ammonia last night and it had a reading of 1.0!!

We had a pump failure as the water level was a bit low due to condensation & the pump came to a stop during the night.
I can only change 10L at a time as the new tiny fry are in the net at the top & i don't want to be moving them around just yet. The 'toddler' fry are underneath them & big fry in the other side. I've been taking one bucket out, one bucket in for about 3 hrs, lol. It's back to 0 now & i'm testing regularly.
I've got the big tank to do a 50% w/c on now, suppose i'd best get off here & do it! Might encourage a bit of spawning

Thats a pain. So youve got 3 lots of fry in the one tank - that must take a bit of sorting out!

Glad it's all ok now though

I have a divider, one side with interruptus, labs, fuelleborni & mpanga fry all about an inch & ½ big (about 45)
In the other side, fuelleborni, mpanga & socolofi (30 ish) & in the floating net above them - 26 interruptus & 6 labs
It has a juwel filter, fluval 1 & a sponge filter in the side with the tiny ones.

I've got my little 30L & all the big babies for sale on AC so if i get rid of them i'll get another 2ft tank to go under the table below the other tank

Thats sounds like a complex tank!! I dont have to do WCs any more

That's some set up munchy, well done for getting it all sorted.

Thanks guys, it's not really tbh. It sounds it. I'll pull my finger out & take a pic tomorrow

More great pics to look forward too

I know th feeling MC..I got a WC due too my tank is rather dirty an the dam clown pleco has left wood shavings all over the place!!!

I have crap on my plant so im gonna do a thorough clean down Sunday..take all items out and clean all gravel etc may do a 50% change or more.



BTW......I have a 54L tank for shell dwellers Juwel Rekord 60!!!

A bit of Spring cleaning going on there GD - I could do with doing that myself, but the barby calls. Life's hard aint it

How's your water now MC?

Dave, you bought a new tank? Excellent

It seems to have settled now thanks indi. I changed 20L this morning & rescued a little nipper that was swimming with the big boys (in danger of getting eaten) All 0-0 thankfully

I need a 2ft for under the kitchen table. I think mine will be a clearseal with a plain lid & no lights, I want a sponge filter in it so the tiny babies can grow on in there.

How many tanks will that make MC?

I'm still on 3, after getting rid of all my community fish we freed up the 180L for growing on fry (pics in the other thread - moving around)
I might still go for a 2ft with a sponge filter as the new fry are too small to go in the 70L with the 'pre-school' growing on. They are in a breeding net atm but it's not ideal. We have 3 more females holding in the main tank so in 2 weeks we'll have another load of fry
