Thank you for your quick answers!
Then the male probably makes a bubble nest. I’m astonished, because the females are not yet adult, they have about half size of the male..But the water must be o.k., regularly water changes, hang on UV clearer and Czech air lift should bring enough oxygen I suppose….
And the other tree fishes don’t take air from the surface …Hello!
Now I have made a new observation:
The bigger (adult) one swims from time to time very quick to the surface of the water and seems to get some air.
But I thought the Paros doesn’t use their labyrinth organ any more?
What does that mean?Hallo!
Now I have another question 😉
In my pots with nettle water on the balcony I just can find very few black mosquito larves, but since two days thin red worms. I guess they are no good food for fish and I have to throw the water away and make a new set, I´m I right?:whistle: :whistle:
I’ve got it!Now it also makes the journey to Museum Wiesbaden.
It’s about double the sitze than the others Have been ….
I took out all deko and about 60% of the water. I found one dragonfly larve, one male Caridina simoni left, and of course four Paros …
I still didn’t find any fry, I think the Paros are too young still, am I right, Bernd?
I left the Paros in the tank, hope that wasn’t a mistake, because the water always becomes a bit “dirty” if you work with the deco ….
But they seem to be o.k. till now ….
O.k.! If we don’t find it till tomorrow morning, I´ll empty the tank! :S :pinch:
It´s already bigger then the ones I´ve made photographs of ….I got the dragonfly larves with my plants or with my root, I still don’t know. The dragonfly researcher still does not know, because the larves take very long till they can fly …
I tell again tomorrow … :S
P.S. My Paros (and the other) just get indoor food (exempt the black mosquito larves from the balcony, but I only give them the black mosquito larves, no other animals ..) and so that way can’t come a dragonfly into the tank …
Thats one of the reasons I don’t go “Tümpeln” because I am afraid do get evil things with the good food …:woohoo: :ohmy:
Today I´ve seen another one – Nr. 11 … must have been a very small one when I emptied the tank to try to find all out …
Today I confused my fish with living arthemia from my aquaristic shop, they got them today … but they where a bit too big for the Paros (my Spaerichtys and my Tannichtys caught them)…
But these dragonfly larvae whas fascinated by the new living food – I guess now I have found the reason why my caridina simoni has vanished again – at least an additional reason – the other reason may be that they don’t survive in water with less than 5 pH …
And so the dragonfly larvae was hungry …Shall I disturb my four Paros and empty the tank again???? The dragonfly was very much quicker than me when I tried to catch it …
If there would be a chance that it soon will be a real dragonfly and will fly away, I could wait, but it seems that some species take several years before they are ready ….Oh oh …
Hello again 🙂
everything seems well.
Just to be sure – I´m still backwater beginner – some water parameter:conductivity: about 42 mS
pH: 4,4 in the morning (this seems too much for my caridina simoni, I see they do not much work now and I took out already two dead ones ..). Is it o.k. for the paros?I´ve found a hang on UV Clearer made by NEWA, 11W (for my 30cm high tank the size of the 9W would fit better, but I built a acrylic glass with silicone at the tank so that it fits the 40cm the clearer needs ..
From which age on do they begin to breed?
Bernd ;-), how “old” is the bigger man? He is already the adult size, isn’t he?I have already another backwater tank to be a youngster flat if my Paros or my Spaerichtys selatensis begin to have young ones …. :whistle:
But I think I will try also wich chlorella … they also sell plant fertilizer for aquaristik purpose, perhaps I´ll try with that stuff …
Chlorella would be also a vacation option for moina and caridina …Hello Helene!
I guess you mean me? 😉This morning I already answered, but I guess I have pushed the cancel button than the submit button, I fear …
Now again: The moina food from the online shop interaquaristic contend:
spirolina, barley grass, dried nettles, honey pollen, oatmeal, paprika powder, rice.
I use as you see on the foto the half transparent container of aquaristic filter (eheim).
So I can see with a torch, how many moina are ready to go. I take them with a nauplia sieve out and wash them with tap water. I hope, this way I catch 99 % living moinas
When I change the water, I let the old water also go through the moina sieve, so I don’t loose any moina.
Then they need about a half day to come up again.And one thing they write about the moina food is real: It makes the water smell nearly good, I have no stinking material in my room, if I change the water weekly for about 65%.
Our tap water ist very good – conductivity about 240 mS, dKH about 4. Better than any aquaristic shop water I got till now:
I think I leave enough old water in the containers, so the fresh tap water will grow older within seconds 😉
Hallo,you two!
Uff, that seems very complicated and I still don’t understand all ….. I must make a regular translation by hand …..I breed my moina in a much more simple way, perhaps an unsafe way …
I have two filter bottles, and I feed the moina food from Interaquaristic.
I make a more than 50% water change every week in both tanks.I take the moina out with a nauplia filter and then clean with tap water before I give the moina to my fish.
My culture even has survived my holy days, my fish sitter fed just every second day, and took each day a nauplia filter for each tank to fed the fish once.
Both fish and nauplia survived…
