My convict fry hit a month old on the 22nd of Decmber. The biggest are 1/2 inch, and very vigorous!!!!!! I need to do a 40% water change as 1 had sevral baby angel die( didnt get them out of the tnak till today, becasue didnt have anywhere to put them), which spiked the ammonia to .2 the nitrite to. 3
and the nitrate to 80. So i will do a 40% tonight, and test tommorow, and do water changes accordingly. Due to the horid water condition's i have lost a few babies( which have been netted out), and around 3 are sick( will net them out during water change),. There are around 150+ fry right now. I am still feeding them( sparingly, as it get's expensive!) BBS, and Beefheart, and some baby food mixture i made. Jus ttohuhgt i would update after their first month!!!!!!!! I hav epic's, btu theya rent on the comp yet!
 
I feel so bad!!!!!! I did get the water back down to normal, adn i plan on gettting a 30g AquaClear filter today, keep in mind i will still be running the old filter, so i dont have to cycle again. My old filter is basically broken. It has no outpuit whatso ever. I saw a baby convict literally swim against the current( i dont even think ther eis one!) and sit on the srapy bar to rest!!!!! I noticed that some of the babies had a big white thing on one of their eye's!!!!!!! I am guessing that it is some-sort of fungus c aused byt the brief amount of ammonia, nitrite, adn high nitrate's? I did treat with QuickCure. I have pic's, but i cant seem to get them on the comp.
