baby caribe! ( and others)

i just st up a 60 gallon tank with some baby carribe!!! i usually dont leave a light on over the tank so i could only get a pic of one of em but i will get more tomorrow. i have a few question for people who have caribe, i have five but one got eaten, i think the reason is because all for were 3 times bigger than that one. i feed them 3 times a day and there gettin fat. 3 are now bigger that one so im hoping history doesnt repeat itself. how can i help prevent it? and ill also throw in some pictures of my rhom tanks. i have 2 rhom tanks a 40 and a 60. what do you think of my aquascaping?

Coud try to spearate them. That is the only "real" way to secure no losses.

I kept babies with lots of space (35+ gallons/each) and had luck - 10% mortality rate.

Lowering the temperature just a tiny bit should decrease their aggression, but separating them really is the best way. Hiding spots and lots of water helps too.

Your aquascaping looks pretty nice, just get backs for the tanks and it will look wayyy better.

They look great, id add a background though.

thanks for the nice comments , how long do you think theyll be good for in the 60?

 

[andres]

Your 4 should be good until they are 6"+ or so I would say.

does anyone know how long it would take for a baby caribe to hit like 14 inches?
