Hey there, its been quite sometime since i last updated here...Originally Posted by ownu4free
I do a weekly 30-50% water change each time as the bio-load is quite heavy (8 adult guppies, 8 habrosus cory, 2 pygmy cory, 2 oto, 7 lampeyes and some guppy frys) in the tank now.
manual scrubbing on glass to remove visible green spots and algae
Oh gosh, pygmy cory is very cute hor ! I love it too. But quite exp. How much u got it? I think seaview selling $1.80 per pc.
Omg i just bought pygmy cory ytd at $3 from pasir ris OTF D: ! got dwarf cory and pygmy cory

OTF so expensive !
Don't worry. When changing water always use water conditioner. KS age ur water in a pail with conditioner and air stone.
Try not to chiong in the water. Cushion flow by ur hand. As slow as you possibly can.
i got it like $1.40-1.60 from c328 last time, and its seasonal sometimes it just get wipe out on that very day
i siphon out using my trusty Suisaku Pro-Hose (M) which never fails me, and when refilling in by using aged water from my 2L x 3 bottles that is in my room so the temperature stays the same as the remaining tank water. Use a plastic cup or small plastic container as a "support", placing it on the surface of the water, and pour the water into the it until it overflows and let it stay floating by holding it with 1 hand. By doing this your fishes will not get shock by the water gushing in and won't mess up your soil/substrate or plants, minimal at least.
Thanks so much for the tips. Your tank have Hangover filter and spongefilter? or hangover filter with airstone? which is better ?

HOF with NO sponge filter and NO air stone.
But you KS can add air stone.
I'm using hang-on back filter, with sponge filter (not shown in this thread, which i modded using a standard sponge filter + outlet pipe/tubing with duckbill filter outlet which will drive the air up and output on the surface of the water)
sounds complicated. got photo to share?

C328 is really famous for their cheap price. That explain why they are so popular.
I at times still get them at 1.50
Top part (duckbill outlet was taken from an external breeding box's kit together with its airstone hidden in the transparent piping)
Bottom part (from another standard bio-sponge filter)
Both connected together
airline tubing connected to the top part of the setup, hence it drives the air in from top and the air get suck in from the bottom through the sponge and pushes out through the duckbill outlet (mouth), creating the aeration on the surface of the water.
How are your fries doing? got pic of them?

The frys are getting more and more, and i have separated them out to another bare tank with plants just to house all the frys that bred throughout these 2 months, they are giving birth almost every saturdays... that's overwhelming!!
up till date: the total amount of frys = 120pcs
some of the frys are in the main guppy tank which i've failed to separate in the initial stage, so gotta let them grow up in the main tank
these photos can't show you the actual amount of frys i have, but i've counted, its between 110-120(about 5-6 batches)
So far only <5 deaths due to siphoning/transporting, other than that they are growing up pretty fast
I also hope I'm so lucky. Mine many died and still dying.
I think the main factor would be the airpump for circulation + water quality (need to do quite frequent water changes/siphoning of wastes as they dirty the water as fast as you can imagine) + 4-5 meals per day
omg nice! hope mine will give birth successfully tooThe frys are getting more and more, and i have separated them out to another bare tank with plants just to house all the frys that bred throughout these 2 months, they are giving birth almost every saturdays... that's overwhelming!!
