680L Dovii Tank Setup

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Well people, I have awesome news!

I did a water change last night, lightly cleaned the inside of my tank and bumped up the temperature (25c --> 27c) And I was actually planning on redoing my plumbing work as mentioned before...

But this morning I found my female laying her eggs :) So im not going to be touching the tank at all now! Wooooooooooo!!!

they will :)

give them a big environment and good food, and you'll see results. when I originally got my female, she was raty and beat, one of her fins was really smashed up, but she bounced back in 3 weeks to what you in the photos i posted earlier.
 
Bad news, I came home a few days ago and found that pretty much all the eggs were eaten. I suspect:

1) the male didn't fertilize all the eggs
2) inexperienced young pair - this is possibly their first attempt at reproduction in their lives

They're roughly a year old, from what I have been told.

nice fish, did you remove the jag or is it still there???

The Jag is long gone :(
 
Mostly their diet consists of Hikari Gold (lrg) pellets. From time to time i throw in some live food (feeders and crickets) and occasionally beef heart (only fresh stuff).

I will be changing their diet over the next few weeks and might look at making some of my own mix of "super" food, I need to read up more on recipes..
