Fry update

hi guys just thought id update you as to the progress of my bristlenose ive been doing small daily water changes as ive been feeding them a high protein food and hatched brine shrimp daily they seem to be thriving though a few days ago i was devastated to discover 5 dead but i guss its a bit ignorant of me to believe theyd all make it ..ive lost none since however just as a precaution ive cut back on the feeding regime and other than the algae that they are clearing off the bogwood that i "borrowed" from the convict tank theyre just getting cucumber ph is 7 waters testing fine everythings at zero and the temps at 24 (the water felt very warm to the touch to i turned the heater down a couple notchs even though it was set at 26 its a small tank and the light seems to give off a lotta heat anyway piccys..

Congratz!!!! Fry are lookin' good!!

Glad you think its a bargin

hope it helps you out, tho it looks like you are doing plenty well with the babies you have there

Thanks again guys i think its safe to say that my bristlenose are by far my fav fish in the tank they all have so much character cant wait for my fry to grow a bit so i can move a few into the only tank in the house without any (the firemouth tank in the bedroom)
Doug i read Your ebook absolutely brilliant very newbie friendly too which helps cause i get frustrated when people on theese kinda forums (not this one though) speak as though your already supposed to know everything about everything and use technical jargon that doesnt make any sense i thought it was brilliant and highly reccomend it to any bristlenose owners out there and considering it costs less than a pack of algae wafers its dirt cheap too!!

Cheers Mate,

Glad you liked the ebook! don't forget to tell people that its a good read

And how cool are bristlenose fry!!! I find myself sitting in my fish room just watching them swim around their grow out tank. I find them fasinating! Once they get a bit bigger they really come into their own and you will get lost in their fishy world
