Baby Danio

[mikisol]

What fish u keeping? I keep all the cheapo so die also nevermind, but instead they reproduce! Baby Danios and now baby shrimps!

I had a few crayfish eggs in the baby danio tank which i wonder will hatch or not.

So did u managed to get the baby plankton? How is it?

I kept many kinds of fishes before. Now I still have some goldfish and guppy with me

I don't know what you mean by crayfish eggs. Usually the mother will hold the eggs until they hatch:

I have no time for LFS today. Will go and check if I happen to pop by

Well, what I meant was the same eggs, but was dropped by the mother, so i pick it and throw into the tank of baby danios.

With Daphnia aka "boon", you need to keep them in a larger container with a gentle stream of large air bubbles, enough to agitate the water surface but not too much. Fine air bubbles will kill them. With algae growing on the sides and feeding with green water or a yeast mixture, you can keep them alive for roughly a week before they die off. It is important to remove the dead ones that settle at the bottom of the container, otherwise the ones left alive will die from deteriorating water conditions.

Before you feed the "boon" to your fish, you must sieve it from the water it came with, or you may introduce some unwanted pests and not to mention the stink from the water. What we have here are cultured in ponds in Malaysia. Pond cultured Daphnia usually means that there is some manure present in the water in the form of rotting chicken droppings, or in duck ponds.

I have never tried Baby Plankton before. Seen it for sale at C328 but never got round to trying it. I just feed really tiny fry with infusoria or green water. It's not difficult to get infusoria. Just take a jar, fill it with some old aquarium water, throw in some moss and squirt a drop or two of Liquifry No.1. Leave it somewhere where there's a light source but not too warm. The infusoria will appear in a few days and look like tiny things zipping around in the water.

Does most pple who keeps fish sleep at odd hours???? I think its becoming a pre-requisite!

Hiaz, i've made the mistake of mixing the "boon" water into my tanks! As a result, 3 Shrimps have died (i tried feeding it to my shrimp but soon realise it does not eat "boon") and i have to do 50% water change. Whats worst, it introduce snails, lol!

I guess i shall never by "boon" again. Causalities this weekend; 3 shrimps, due to my silliness.
