Great topic
Water parameter for mine: Temp at 84F, PH at 6.5 with RO/Tap mix, PPM @ 130
Feeding: CBWs once per day, Hikari frozen bloodworms once per day, Vitamin enhanced flake once per day, Earthworm flake once per day and spirulina flake once or twice per week. (all my heckels are adults), they are not too fond of beefheart or mysis shrimp
Water Change: every other day 33 percent
Husbandry: They dont like artificial light, they are more active when the lights are off and just natural lighting, other wise they huddle in one corner. Ive considered adding some driftwood or live plants in pots to provide cover.
Using RO: Yes I also believe that lower PHs make for happier heckels!
Breeding: Only in my dreams
Filtration: One hang on the back Aqua clear 300 with two sponges and one hydro 5 for my 46 gallon tank.
Pictures? What the heckle why not !
I recieved these 4 adults from Brew at the end of last year:
