Couldnt you put somthing around the filter to supress flow? Or maybe put somthing by it to decrease current?

I can't restrict the flow into the pump very much because it will burn out the motor. I've done what I can on the out flow to smooth it out.

I was doing a water change on my Discus tank and found one of my clown loaches dead. Starting to feel like Death, everyone and everything around me is dieing off. My relatives, my dog, my fish.

I need a drink.

 

[Cichildlife]

So how many do you think there are left? Hope its not a big loss...

It's really hard to say, at least 100. Most of them are probably in there, it is just really hard to tell because of where they moved them and the way they are all bunched up.

I have this REALLY strong urge to reach in there and shake the crap out of the plant so they have to pick them up and put them somewhere else in the tank.

Oooo i c, darn raskels lol my lab(sorry off topic) does the sam thing, turns just enough so i cant see her jaw nd in her mouth to see... And when she is, her mouth is sealed... Kinda frustrating... Lol
Anyway, are they free swimming?

 

[absolutangel04]

So, is there a chance that a bunch of them are free swimming and you just can't see them because they aren't clumped on the plant anymore?
Thats what I hope is happening. I seem to "lose" mine once they are free swimming.
Sorry about your all your recent deaths.

 

[Cichildlife]

Dont do that............

No they are hanging onto the leaf, occasionally I see one stuck to the glass. Another few days and they should be out and about.

Thanks. Been a rough 1 1/2 years. Anyway, I don't think so because they are big enough now that I can easily see individuals. Just keep fingers crossed for the remaining ones.

 

[Cichildlife]

Will do! Lol im hoping for you and me! Lol

Yeah, hopefully they hang in there!

So at this point the parents have done their jobs, I'm thinking about putting them back in the other tank. What do you all think?

I think thats a good idea.

Okay then, I've moved the parents and the plant they laid the eggs on back to the home tank. They wouldn't leave the fry alone, that's why I asked. The fry keep trying to swim but the parents would grab them up and put them back on the plant.

We shall see if this was a mistake but I think it was the right move.

Time will tell. But, the fry could benefit from getting to swim around I am sure since there are no predators in the tank with them.

I'm also hoping this gives the parents a reason to lay more eggs.
