That sounds quite good
The conductivity should be so at 30 then the PH value goes down further.
By the way, every week I do 50% water change. I only use canulas and oak leaves, it works very well. I think the water change is very important.Bernd Bussler
Well, I think the experience plays a role. I have been doing this for 30 years now and I do many things intuitively without much thought. In the course of many years I also had to pay a lot of apprenticeship and made many mistakes and also lost many Paros. I could not really say today that Paros are difficult. Reasonable water, does not necessarily have to be very sour, and good food then it works, oh and of course patience, be patient.
if you do not spawn this year then you will be doing it next year, sometimes you just need a little bit longer 🙂Greetings Bernd
Hello Russ
The first clutch brought 41young animals and I have still two scratches in other vessels. Almost every week I have a clutch, I think I have enough at the end of the year to distribute the F1 generation. and hope that it will be easier then.Greetings Bernd
The topic is not very up-to-date anymore, but I would like to know what has become of the ornaticauda. A similar delivery was made at the end of last year in Germany. It was also that the animals were probably not healthy. but with me everything went well and I have offspring swim.
Greetings Bernd Bussler
Hi Peter
I think that the Balzstellung is not necessarily rigid. At times I see her play as we saw Karin, but that is rarely the case.
I will deliver photos soon 🙂Anyway. I think the chemistry is rather the right one.
On the other hand, it is so that the fish are only given Odinium if they are weakened and arise only in care problems, stress or similar. Odinium is certainly present in every water, but similar to humans, a disease does not break out until something is not running properly. Just take a means out of the trade that works. And to make sure that the nursing conditions are as good as possible, warm food and plenty of rest will surely help the animals are healthy and stay. In 20 years I only had odinium for new arrivals, unfortunately with total loss.
By the way, someone has written the Paros 25 ° celsius should be cultivated, I consider that for too little, 27 ° celsius are my optimal
Greeting BerndNow I have been using oak leaves for years, from different oaks. This year I put a large stock since I had too little last year.
I have tried many different leaves, but I keep leaves in the water for almost a year, which does not mean I leave the leaves for a year in the aquarium, but they stay together when I remove them, other leaves are already so decomposed after a few weeks They are only sludge and pollute the water. I prefer the leaves of the marshes, they have the largest leaves and I need 4 or 5 leaves per aquarium.I think it should be remembered quite often.
I know it from myself, I read it and forget it, usually I give up my stock quite late and if I am not reminded, I would surely forget the one or the other times my stock to you.True, pure tap water can quickly bring Paros to its limits, so I only use mixed water, with low Ca value. But you have to remember that I partly 30 30 animals in 30 L water pull up, yes have only small aquariums, since it is already very important that a certain water stability is given. So always well weigh whether it is absolutely necessary. For at any time this process must be reversed, at the latest when one wants to breed and this always means an immense stress for the animals.
I give the young animals first into a used aquarium with normal soft water. When they are as large as 1 cm, I add mixed water at each water change. Have determined that the young animals then grow better and no deformation in the fins get. In addition, the water values are simply more stable. So they do not get pure tap water, I try to keep the Microsiems at 150 to 200.
One more thing: if I feed Daphnia they simply live longer, with my normal aquariums with Ph values under 4 are the Daphnia after half an hour, so the young animals always have enough to eat.Basically, it is not a problem to put the animals in a new container which has water values other than those in the container in which they are now living.
My young Paros grow in water, which I mix with tap water and has some 150 to 200 microsiems. So if I translate the bruises I’ll put them in a container which I place in the new aquarium and gradually add small amounts of water from the new container. This process can take up to 2 hours. Only then I leave the Paros in the new container free so they can explore their new environment.
Will make the days a few photos of what you can see how I do it.I can imagine that the Paros can jump at stress, you can sometimes hear it when they are transported in small containers or plastic bags, they jump against the walls or blankets.
The Microsiemens always goes upwards with the use of peat, but also again downwards, after several water changes it is again down and remains also down, only gedried, it is the correct way
