Im So Exciiited, I Cannot Hiddee Itt!

The pH does seem a bit high try lowering it. It might help the fish when they are trying to settle in because most fish stores have a pH close to 7.

 

[rmanpf]

yes everything seems fine except the ph, lower it to about 7

My water is so ahrd you cant adjust it, i tried. My ph is the same at the stores, unless the tank has the ph lowered( they use some super expensive stuff as nothing else works). So, the ph shouldnt be the problem.

 

[Duck and Dive]

How do you introduce new fish into the tank step by step.

 

[kribensis12]

I pop the bag and let it float in the tank. Every 10 mins or so, i will take a syringe and squirt some tnak water into that bag and let it sit. A fter about 45 mins to 1 hours, i will dump the water into a net, and put the fish in the tank, as i dont want to contaminate.

 

[Duck and Dive]

Soz what do you do with the tank water you recieve them in?

 

[kribensis12]

I put the net over a bucket and the pour the water into the bucket, letting the fish fall into the net, then i put the fish in the net and use the other tank water on my plants

Well I don't se any problems in what you are doing! Ask your LFS for their water propoties.

 

[shelaghfishface]

oh krib thats so sad,and you were mad about him too, i hope all the girls do well for you.

 

[kribensis12]

Duck and Dive: I have already asked that, the only differnce is the nitrate, mine is about 5ppm lower on a good day.

Shelaghfishface: thanks, they seem to be fine.

The big females finally giving birth!

Wow.. PICS!! (I'll take over from your job as camera vulture since this is your thread! lol)

You've got to find a decent lead stud - how are the feeders going? My LFS has some decent males now, just a couple weeks after I got so frustrated I said 'stuff guppies'. Still, most of them are still such rubbish they need serious work. I don't have the room for a breeding project of any description so I guess I just ignore them... lucky you don't have to.

 

[Duck and Dive]

I would love to see pics! They are going to be gourgeos considering how lovely the parents were!

 

[kribensis12]

My feeders, every single last one of them, died from a mysterious disease that kills all my guppies, so, no feeders to work with atm. My fema;e gave birth to a bunch of dead babies. A few are alive, but the rest are dead. Dont know what went wrong. Ohhh well, there is always next time. I would love to take pic's, but im not sure you guys really want them as you barley be able to see anything!
