The 30th of last month.

here is a new video.

I finally found a Red Zebra in one of the other tanks that was missing, it's dead, no idea what happened. :nono:

I also just had to quarantine on of my Discus. The one that the BN pleco chewed on. Looks like the wound has been made worse, I think on of the other discus had a go at him. Doubt he'll make it more than an hour or so, put him in a bucket with a little melafix in the water :nono:.
 
Lol they really are protected, nd nice trick with the eyedropper feedin themz! Look very healthy

He was floating and barely breathing so I frozen him. :nono: I was just thinking I'm going to have to get another tank, however I might be able to put some of them in the 55g with the red zebras and yellow labs. I can't keep them all so most will have to go to the pet store.
 
Okay, not to keep spamming my own thread but...they moved them again. This to a back corner of the tank onto a fake plant I had in there. It's right under the filter, possible the worst place they could have chosen. I can barely see them, I think the parents got tired of me peeking in the tank every 2 minutes.
 
Hahahaha, or they think it will keep more alive because of the constant air flow...

I'm not sure, the package said the pH needed to be 8 or higher so I put some CC in there, that may have done it. Or maybe it just wasn't warm enough because I have no heater in there. Trying again without the CC. Fingers crossed.

Next round add a pinch of baking soda. if you really want you could substitute baking soda for salt completely but it does leave behind a lot of residue. It can also take 36 to 48 hrs if the room temperature is low.
 
Hard to tell for sure, they are kind of clumped together, but I think about half of them have disappeared. I found two or three in the floss around the filter intake while cleaning it, but it seems to me a bunch are missing. That is pretty disappointing but for all I know they are in there somewhere. :confused:

The tank is filthy again but I can't risk another vacuuming because of where the fry are. :hide:

I did see some of the first batch of brine shrimp hatched, I have no idea how you are supposed to get them out. They are super tiny. I tried pouring the water through a filter and then rinsing the filter in the tank but as far as I could tell none made it into the tank. :facepalm:

Squirted some more soaked firstbites on the fry. They are still hanging on to the fake plant, not swimming around. If this doesn't end well I'm going to go buy a much smaller filter, or maybe a sponge filter for the next try. This filter just has WAY too much flow, for this purpose, and no way to turn it down that I can see. :mad:

Kind of bummed out, I was really hoping they would be swimming around when I got home. :(
