Kribensis
Aquarium Advice Activist
I have some Festae fry that were hatched around November. I have them living in a 125g aquarium with only one Rena XP4 canister filter. Since my last water change I have noticed that they have been a little more skittish and hiding more.
Is there not enough oxygen in the tank because of how large it is and how small they are? Tonight I added a bubble disk just for added surface movement.
They are being housed with a bunch of Kribensis cichlids. And yes... I know what the future will intell for the Kribensis if I dont remove them as the Festae grow. But for right now I just want to make sure they are doing well. Even the Kribensis seem a little more skittish when before they used to all rush over for food.
I have only 4 festae Red Terror cichlids and like 18 Kribensis. All of them are still at about 1".
I have a media sock over the canister filters intake, I have fed them baby brine shrimp, then crushed flake food. And now they are eating full sized Brine Shrimp, BeefHeart, blood worms, and the 2 types of flake food has been Omega cichlid flake (crushed up) and some Tetracichlid stuff my wifes Angle fish were eating. Im going to test the water just as soon as I post this message.
Thanks for any input. Im hoping im just paying too close attention to them.
