Thats a really nice tank you've got,love the 'lettuce plant' never seen it before

 

[Angel_Anthias lover]

These fish are so adorable, they haven't noticeably eaten anything yet after offering them various foods, catfish pellets, micro pellets, frozen brine, even microworms lol, gonna get bloodworms to see if they like those, anyone else have any ideas

Did your fish ever start eating? Looks similar to my peppered Cory cats. Never had an issue with mine eating. They continuously scavenge the bottom of the tank.



On another note our endler's are breeding like rabbits. Counted 20 babies the other day, although I suspect the number has gone down.

Lol thats a lot of fry, hope they survive for you, I think I've got my pygmys to eat as they seem fat lol, but i dont know what theyve been eating, probably pellets and whatever they find

I hope they get eaten! Haha Not trying to be cruel but it is just too much fish. I'll likely take them to the LFS each time they get bigger. May eventually go male only.

Picture of my rearing tank for my baby bettas.

The weird stuff on top is just some broken up food to feed the stuff the fry feed on.

Just be mindful with c02 and shrimp as the two don't get along very well.

Thanks i will keep that in mind for the future. Ive stopped dosing it lately, as i got lazy and i believe the fish produced enough CO2 to keep the tank going

C02 is only really worth it when you get into growing harder plants/carpets, and with a better light than the stock flex light. Good luck!

Thank you, my alternanthera reinecki appreciated the CO2 dosing, so i might start doing it again.

Feel free to message me if you need any help, I moved from planted tanks to marine.
