why did they die?

 

[WILDER]

They will love them, cut them up abit, it's funny watching them eat bloodworms as they are bigger than them.

 

[Allix]

will do, tank is next to my desk and im watching them swimming around

i had some molly fry a few months back.........they really went crazy for the bloodworms, quite funny the way they attacked the worms that were bigger than themselves

 

[Allix]

They are all swimming around fine this morning, just fed them and they are eating. Even the tiddler fry looks better already, considering he spent 4 weeks in a filter i have no worries about him surviving in the new tank

 

[penguinpimp1990]

4 weeks in a filter!

 

[Allix]

We checked the mini filter that we had bought this morning, to find that somehow one of the fry had managed to get in there

There was a tiny hole that he had got into so we just decided to cover the whole filter with a tight, we had just wrapped one of the filter pads around the bottom and zip clipped it on.

Will get some pics of the little buggers when i had batteries for my camera

Is there such a thing called black spot? One of my fry has black spots and is rubbing himself on the rocks

 

[Annastasia]

Yes, there is such a thing as Black Spot disease.

According to what I have read, it usually goes away by itself,or it stays on the fish for a while, but does not bother them. But if it does start covering a lot of the body, you might want to treat.

Here is chart on medications for it.

Just watch him though, and make sure it doesn't bother him. If he looks like he is uncomfortable, it may not be Black Spot disease, but some other disease or parasite where black spots appear.

what about that question that was asked earlier. will the tights prevent waste from entering the filter?

 

[Annastasia]

Ah...didn't see that, sorry.

Tights won't prevent waste from entering the filter. Small waste, anyway. They tend to get clogged pretty easily, because the holes are tiny. You have to make sure to clean off the intake...thingy...pretty often. Some people use Breeder Nets, though, becuse they have bigger holes, so larger particles can get through.
