I forgot to mention that I hand pick the eggs and place them in a 2 litre
plastic container that contains the same water as the tub they will
eventually go into. I then float the hatching container in the tub. When
the eggs hatch I remove the fry to the tub which contains the same water as
the hatching container. occasionally I tip out a bit of water and just
refill it with water from the same tub. This way the hatching container and
the grow-out tub has the same water chemistry.
Also I feed my adults a very small granular pellet that has the following
ingredients:
Fish protein, White fish meal, wheat germ, dried yeast, wheat flour, soybean
meal, shrimp paste, minerals?, vitamins?.(Contains 46% Min. protein).
This product is not usually available in the Aquarium Retail Trade but is a
commercial product. (Made in taiwan) Doesn't have a commercial trade name!
