Hi. It’s a paint I bought from transforma tank. Really easy to apply and looks really good. I used the same on the dreaded fluval but black.

They look like they could do with feeding up a bit, really small foods for them as they have small mouths and throats

I have some tiny flakes etc for them . Yes they need a good feed haha maybe when hey are a bit fatter they’ll have a better chance in the fluval. I’ve now added crushed coral to both tanks to help raise kh. I shall take some more pictures in a couple of weeks when they’ve got some meat on them haha

I agree, the bellies are a bit sunken.
Try frozen cyclops for feeding them. (defrost it first ) As well as the smallest granules you can find (Tetra Micro granules is what I'm using at the moment for small tetra and guppy fry).

... I didn't know/realise you'd been keeping CPDs in your soft water tanks, let alone for that long! ...

I risk polluting the thread but my reply doesn't seem to merit its own home!

I took a few minutes' video of my Rio 400 for you at feeding-time last night. It's edited somewhat to feature the CPDs and their curious obsession with whiteworms while surrounded by menu items of a much more suitable size. After a lot of wrestling and sucking they do eventually get on the outside of them though!

How are they doing now? All good I hope

All good thank you. It’s a struggle to make sure they get some food but other than that they are well. Started to put a bit of weight on but not much. I’m continuing with the tiny food.

Did I see Celestichthys erythromicron in there?

[plankton]

Looks like @Vale! has both.

[Vale!]

Yes - well spotted, both!

Fish are still doing well in the big tank. I’m still mindful that the 200 litre is kept a bit warm for them but I’m still very nervous moving them into the fluval edge.
