    Looking good Arturo! I have never seen such small fry picking at a cube of frozen beefheart mix at 12 days old! I am always so proud to see a spawn of discus eggs on one of my cones. Well done, keep up those wc's! I will follow your progress here,

    Agreed; interesting to have them on beef heart this early

    You might end up with some nice growth!

    Hi Arturo, congratulations for your fry!
    I´m surprised about the beefheart on early stage but it seems to work...

    how much water (%) do you change each day? do you match Ph before adding?

    Thanks.. as I said before I got lucky this time, I try before with other fry from another pairs and they wouldn't it it ...

    95% every night and the ph is usually the same straight from tap water..

    I must report that I got home today and 5 of my fry were dead, and a lots of them are breeding fast and stay at the top of the aquarium I did check ammonia and nitrite they are at 0. I dont know what the problem is, the only problem I can think of is doing 2 Wc's yesterday the second one was not aged water .... their gills kind of turn red a little bit but idk any opinions here?

    Why was the second water change done without aged water?
