Re: Just found a load of baby fish - What do I do now?

Juwel vision 180

My water quality is still good, so I am going to check it every couple of days and when things start to climb I will WC then, rather than disturb the fry.

Unless you guys reccomend I continue to WC as normal.

Re: Just found a load of baby fish - What do I do now?

Cheers for the advice Now I thought that the filter had sucked some in and killed him, but then I saw another one come out of the filter.

Just found a load of baby fish - What do I do now?

The missus thought that one of our Black and Orange Molly's was getting fatter, and lo and behold we have just seen a load of babies and the Molly is not fat anymore.

So what do I do? Breast feeding is out before that gets mentioned :D

When to use Seachem Pristine

Basicly, I have norsed up (not a new situation), I thought I was bidding on a cheap bottle of Stability however I must have pressed the wrong button and I won a bottle of SEchem Prisitine (still only a £5.50 for a 250ml bottle so not all bad.

I was just wondering when to use if ever?

I have a 180L tank and I currently have: 5 endler guppies 5 black orange mollies 2 Cory Panda 10 Neon tetra 4...
