Well, picked up four RBP's and am pretty excited, they are still babies housed temporarily in a 54 gallon while their future home (180g) waits for a stand and some other equipment. Anywho, they are still babies about the size of a quarter and here's a picture of their present home.
no pictures of the P's because my camera stinks but you get the idea. I'm going to try the same "amazon" look for the 180g.
Was wondering if I'm missing anything as far as feeding or water parameters... thanks in advance for help.
Water:
ph 6.6
ammo 0
ite 0
ate 15 (planted)
kh 3
temp 81F
There is plenty of water movement and the fish seem to enjoy it but I wanted to ask do they enjoy a lot of water current?
They are currently eating some flake food every 3 days or so, brine shrimp, frozen blood worms and black worms... anything missing? When should I start feeding live food, there are currently some cardinals, cory's, SAE, and ottos in there, I will be moving the P's probably sometime mid to late august, do I have to worry about any of these getting eaten? There is plenty of shade and hiding spots, do they have a chance? and um... how do P's feel about snails?
