so what you feeding them?

great to see bn frys. i lost all 3 common BN frys as tank filter failed and caused dramatic water parameter spikes that killed the following over night!!

lost
5 x cardinal tetras
2 x bronze corys (female (had since Xmas)
3 x BN frys

lived
2 x silver / white mollies (since xmas)
1 x young male cory (about 4 weeks in tank - lost all bristles due to nitrite / ammonia - but all good and very healthy as of today)
2 x BN purchased off Tim.

failure of the filter was about 4 weeks ago, all back to normal, and i think the BN are trying to breed again? hope so as it was a joy to see frys!

I have been giving them sinking pellets and sera flora, but they havent eaten any yet.
There is a lot of that soft brown algae, and I know ter bigger cousins love that, so they may be snacking on that.
They could also be like their parents and only eat wood, so there is some of that in there too.
Wish they would eat the food tho, I am getting sick of removing it in the morning!
I'll put a bit of zucchini in there tonight as well for them. Thats always a pep favourite!

Sorry for you losses. What caused your filter to crash?

stupid filter pad became blocked and stopped the water flow to about 1/5 of the flow....

There is also some calcium stains or something on this tank that for the life of me I cannot remove.
I have tried lemon juice, razor blades, clr. Any other suggestions?
