Hi Myrrhiam! Fine to hear from you!
Yes, perhaps the pH must still go down. Perhaps not under 4, but between 5,5 and 4,5?@ Arno: good idea! 😛
@ AJ: if you click on the register card “search” above and search for “Atemia methods ” you will find an older thread concerning that subject.
I can add here: since about a year I use one JBL cone for breeding BBS. I have two of them. Every second day I make a new set. One cone I feed to all my fish in two days. I put half of the harvest in the breeding mineral sea-salt water (for sea water tanks) in the fridge.When I open the cone, first I fill a small cup (about 40ml) with the first output, that are mostly unbread cysts..
I rinse them under tap water with a fine sieve about 155 micron openings as Dick says (at the moment I do no more sieve with three ones …)
Hi Bennie,
when I see the census reminder on the forum screen and had my first email, I write it in my digital (or paper if you have) calendar for the last weekend or the weekend before the last. I often (specially in spring) saw some new offspring during the census period.But in September, for example, I begin to count my adult fish and write down in my fish diary the number. Then I look if some offspring are to be seen the next weeks.
Perhaps a reminder at the beginning and one at the end of the census?
If Bernd didn’t write, that it is even for him a problem to remember the census, I would have said, perhaps the members who don’t participate, are no longer interested members … perhaps have given up the Paros ….
Perhaps, if ypu all know for personal some other members, perhaps you could remember them personally ? The busy young ones and the not so interested in digital communication older ones???
Hi Bernd, why do you put the fry in tap water? Our Black Forest tap water has ec 250 …. that sounds that would be nearly ideal water for rising young Paros ?????
Hi A.J. , that “getting used to the new water” we know with shrimps or with our Paros from trade … sometimes they have an ec of 800 …. (salt added to the water …).
I take then a thin air hose, fill it with water like when I do water change with a bigger one, top end in the prepared water, upper end down in the “old” water with the animals, and check the flow with a clamp, so that drop per drop comes the new water to the animals and from time to time I remove a cup of the “old”water.I don’t think everything is going well with the traditional transport of our fish. I think its a question of oxygen in the water and not in the air (which the fish labyrinth could use).
In my opinion some of the fish transported over sea in too small container died because their water got loss of oxygen.
And – how should the fish use their labyrinth in breathing bags? As far as I know they are to be filled completely with water?
In my opinion, the “traditional” small containers are just for use when in plane. If the fish have longer journeys overland, they should be transported other ways. And the normal fish bags (perhaps if not labeled by fish industries as mine I used for Hamburg and which where terrible) seem not very reliable for longer times.
I think we should have a look at the breathing bags.That is the Website:
Hi Bennie, nice to hear from you!
Yes, if you have the parvidentata since 7 years, they surely reproduce in your tanks!
Funny that you also tell about the P.phoenicurus that they are very careful with what they eat! I have decided to give them only very small mosquito larvaes, if they find them a little bit too big, they prefer to study how they grow up and bite us humans ;-).
It’s also funny, because they seem to me to be the most aggressive species of my three (Linkei, Phoenicurus and Ornaticauda).
