Is that what does it? I had some spirulina tabs I tried giving to my marble but she doesn't really like them, she just ignores the tabs. Maybe I'll try and find some other type of fish food for her with spirulina in it.

What makes a marble crayfish turn blue? The are all self cloning, but I see some that are Brown, then others that are just the lightest hue of blue in it and other marble crays that are a very intense blue. How do you make the blue come out in them? :ermm:

All right, thank you very much for your reply! :oops:

Would they be okay together in a 40 gallon tank? Just curious since I read that for crayfish they are pretty peaceful in community tanks... Curious if they would be okay with each other too? If anyone knows that would be great!

All right, I'll go take a look tomorrow at my lfs for some Prime... and my small tank does have a sponge filter, but my big tank does not. So do small water changes and just take some of the water from the big tank and put some of it into the small tank (after a water change)?

Well, I tested my big tank parameters. PH is 7.0, high range PH is 7.4, ammonia is 0 ppm, nitrite is 0 ppm, and nitrate is 40 ppm. The tank temperature (so it reads) is between 79 and 81 F. But... I tested my small tank with the baby fishes in there and I came out for that tank with.. PH 7...

Okay.. I'll have to get my parameters checked. But if it's not that, it could be because of the other tank mates in with them? Would that still be a problem even though they had spawned the first time with the tank mates there?

I had them in a community tank back in the summer and they spawned, but the fry unfortunately did not survive so I took the other fish out of the tank and just left the breeding pair... 2 weeks later and a little over a month ago now they spawned again, I took the eggs out of the tank and put...

Thanks, I didn't even think of that. I thought that wouldn't be an issue where they were all under 4 weeks old... This was happening over the span of those 4 weeks... How old would you recommend to start dividing them? :ermm:

That might be what's happening... It's just funny that I haven't even noticed any little lifeless bodies floating in the tank if they were dying. I have one of the Tetra Whisper filters in that tank with the nylon over it, that might be what has happened. Whenever I've watched them they never...

Yes but I haven't seen any dead bodies of the fry in the tank... I thought I would see them floating in the tank if they had.

I'm not sure what's happening to my angelfish fry. They're in a 10 gallon tank all by themselves, with a filter that has nylon over it, and of course a heater.. and that's about it. I started out with 11 wigglers, and last week I could only count 8 or 9. Today I can only seem to count 5. I'm...

When I changed the water every day in the tank I would let the water sit for a day with the Nutrafin tap water conditioner and Nutrafin Cycle in it. That was fine, water quality was fine.... But yesterday when I did it there were all these flaky fragments in the distilled water. I noticed the...

And how spotless does the fry tank need to be? I do about 25% water changes every single day, and use a baster to suck up as much stuff on the bottom of the tank as I can... but I can never get every single particle. I even take a paper towel and wipe the bottom but it always seems to stir up a...

How long should brine shrimp be kept in the fry tank? Are you supposed to remove the brine shrimp if some haven't been eaten within a certain amount of time?
