Did you post some new pics?

 

And Happy New Year to you as well

yes,the new pics are on the first post

you got yourself more males .... brown/black spot on albinos is normally a wound that has healed and isnt an issue.... other than cosmetic....

 

70 litre tank with your stocking levels will do much better with 25% waterchange twice a week...

OMG,do you mean i bought two males again.......need to seek for female again???

and thanks for you advice,will do more waterchange next time

Steam your veggies!!!

 

If you don't know how to:

How to Traditionally Steam Vegetables

As a general rule, when steaming on the stovetop, you will need a large pot and a steamer basket or collander that will fit inside. Fill the pot with enough water so that is just barely reaches the bottom of the colander or steamer basket. Once the water comes to a boil, add vegetables and place a loose fitting lid on top to cover. If your lid is more fitted over the colander, position it so that one side hangs over the colander just enough to let the steam escape.

 

 

I find it THE best way to soften up the Veggies to feed to them. If you time it right you will get veggies that don't break up in the tank and make a mess.
I have used Zucchini, Pumpkin, carrot & peas.

I usually slice the Zucc, Pump & Carrots into 1-2cm thickness, freeze what you don't use into separate bags. (You can buy freezer bags for around $0.50 for 100)

 

I liked using carrots & pumpkin as it changes the color of the BN's slightly

 

And please.... PLEASE don't put a fork in your veggies and put it in the tank to weigh it down, nothing annoys me more to see a bloody empty fork in someones tank.

If you steam them long enough they will sink on their own.

will try to steam carrot and pumpkin next time, and i did find different to sink the vegie and using a fork.....will try to let them sink by their own next time!!!

(UPDATE 2 FEB)

I kept a male ,a female and a juvenile left and sold the other males,

i though the female maybe too small as compare with the male,they got about 3cm different,(6cm to 9 cm)

quiet surprise when i saw some eggs on friday night after a water change,

no idea when the female spawned the eggs,

the male didnt take care of them,so i put them in a net and put it under the outlet of the filter,

saw the eggs hatched in this afternoon,the little one are wiggling in the net,

they are so cute~~~~~

btw,normally how long does the eggs hatch?

mine one only took 3days,maybe the female spawned 1-2 days earlier than i though?

and what i need to aware of take care the fries?

i knew no need to feed them when they still got the sac,

what else i need to know?????
