| Subject: How to keep a tank running? Sun Jan 02, 2011 7:49 pm | |
| I am hoping shortly to send my first babies on their way. What I would like to know is how can I keep their tank running. Do I just carry on as if they are still there with water changes etc or will it go 'bad'? Or what should I do as I may need it again soon and it seems a shame to have to start again. I am giving my babies to my LFS as I am no longer able to keep up with feeding and cleaning 60 of them in a 2' tank. If anyone here would like some you are welcome to collect. They are all looking and eating well on wafers, spinach, courgette, cucumber, beans etc | |
