If you look on the homepage of aquarium dietzenbach “where to get our fish”, you can see if they supply shops in your region ….
my three shall come tomorrow … 🙂 1/2 😉
I think no one thinks about just always feeding springtails to Paros – it was just the question how to get over a time of absence with additional food and not very professional fish sitter …. 😉
As to plants: I have some in the front part of the tank, the back is nearly empty , just some swimming plants, I think the 4 Paros like the structure.
I have found, that one of my shops where I order from time to time has folsomia candida (that’s the species we find in our flower buckets ;-), also a species of collembola .
I have also found some new shops with tropical collembola ….
What would you do?
O.K. I have just found “Folsomia candida” as springtails .. this is not the same, isn´t it?
Now I have found Collembola … 😉
Hallo DTL,
thanks, good idea and an interesting film!
But as far as I have heard and read do Paros dislike to use the water surface for finding food …Perhaps they would ignore food living at the water surface …
😉 concerning fry and vacation : if I should have fry before vacation and couldn’t avoid to go 😉 I would take them to a babysitter or my aquaristic shop with fish caring service … 😉
I am heavy in temptation – I just discuss in another thread the live food vacation question 😉 …
I would have still room for one another 54l tank … but vacation/absence service 😉 is very worried …Thank you Pavel!
I also thought of brine shrimps!
And concerning bought live food:
Till now I only tried brine shrimps, white mosquito larves (too big I think) and marine copepoda, and I buy them just the day they arrive in the shop (they store them in a big fridge and they get them in isolated styrofoam boxes once a week).Just in case that my vacation service would not manage to renew brine shrimps …
My moina I have indoor … do you think they will improve being outside on balcony? We now have autumn weather, at day just 14 degrees Celsius about …
Tomorrow I will go again in my garden and bring live food for a week …. 🙂
I am just planning 🙂 for one or two live food needing tank its enough what I have (even my little buckets for mosquito larves on balcony) but for more tanks in future … 😉
Till now I have a 54l tank for my 4 linkei, one prepared 25l waiting for youngsters (a 10 l without water yet for babies),
one long (1m x 25 x 25) tank with 8 Spaerichtys selatanensis,and a pensioners tank 100l for my rest of “normal” aquaristic fish (already about 8 years old or more): 8 Tannichtys micagamae, 10 Corydoras pygmaeus… they just get living food if I have enough plenty… and perhaps they just live as long as I will have more gurami youngsters to try a real black water group with some Paros, some Spaerichtys selatanensis and some boraras brigitae … but that ist future.
Till now I need living food for two tanks (Paros and Spaerichtys).
Hallo!
Now I have a question, how you manage your live food when you are away 10 -14 days :
1. You have someone who is able to do care for the live food as you do yourself?
2. Just giving brine shrimps?
3. Giving buyed live food (does not survive a whole week, even if fresh arrived in the shop), perhaps for the second week?
4. Feeding one week what’s in storage and the second week diet 🙁 ?I am very much tempted by the possibility to get a pair of P. phoenicurus, but that would double the supply for vacation ….
Thank you, good Idea for the future. With the original nettle & so stinky water or with fresh osmosis water?
👿 concerning denying: had no chance: they were detected flying out of the tank by my partner and they bite at once :woohoo: :side: :silly:
