My 1000gal Tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
:)
 
they all died?! did you test you water? whats your ammonia, nitrates? whats the ph and temp? recycled water? it looks recycled for sure lol what were you feeding them
 
Yes, i tested it with Tetra strip kind of all in one.
the most important nitrite, on the color chart stick on delivering tube is like white then white white pink then white pinkup to pink at 250 mgr.
like the most important factor the mosdt difficult to read...

About same fact in fish market it is difficult to find water testers, the spirit is like letting you make trials and errors so you buy again more and more...

yesterday went there ,finally found and bought a nitrite tester, solid cotton sheets,
and and ... 50 fingerlings of 2 1/2 to 3 inches.

One die at the end of the day because of ...travelling and shopping with my wife.
2 desd found today morning while sumping .

survivors are doing well and are eating artemia and steamed mackerel.

water is clear in all tanks shrimps are there and competitng for food with bass.
 
some big glass shrimp snap n'cut part of the tail of a bass.

who's the predator and who's the prey?

Otherwise bass are doing well and do eat those shrimps as well...

It s raining almost every 2 days now .
Diurnal water temperature is around 28c only.
No sign of Ich (said Freud analysing itself)

There are eating 3 meals of steamed mackerel a day plus the occasional shrimps.
 
Hi
Had loss again :banhim:, six juveniles > 2 every day during three days.
Tested water with Tetra nitrite tester and water was ok.

So what is the matter?

Oxygen is running, water is flowing and falling in.

We do think they were starving, because my wife noticed that most of the shrimps had disapeared

Steamed mackerel two times a day (messy by the way) and frozen artemia , were not enough, they had to get their glass shrimps as well...

The water is around 28c most of the day and no Ich .Are we lucky?

you need to feed them feeders for a while till they are smashing food on the surface! i doubt they are going to accept cut food right away. plus why steam the mackeral? takes out alot of important nutrients. whats 28c in F? your water may be too cold.
 
They do accept cut food.
Mackerel is sold already steamed.
We made a try with raw mackerel, they don t kike it and it is rendering an oily film on water surface.
28c is 82f but too cold for what?
 
lol stay away from the mackeral and you need to raise your temp to 87 because they can get parasites in their gills with the temp at 82, and i still recommend feeders for a while till they are stronger... you should try my advise because your avatar is a shame and this is the second batch.
 
It is not the second batch it is a complementary batch.:chillpill:

Temperature is around that range for a month now , as i observed their gills stomac skin eyes i saw no ich no louses no worms no virus.:confused:

In Thai fishing magazine we can witness a fishing trip in some mountain lakewith pbass where released an where the temperature goes around 15 c in winter.Appparently the guys can do it ...:confused:
My wife and me are arglueing about this fact and your advice, that s why i did cut tree branches to have more sunshine as well ...

You may noy be totally right and we may not be totally wrong .

But kids don't try this at home with your off the ground aquarium ok? just keep it hot 87f .


About my avatar, it is a bit like our lord on the cross, a way to remember

It is a reality of experimentations, no shame in failure but a lot of informations that by the way I m sharing with the mfk community.

You are very welcome to visit us in Thailand and help us to design our Peacock bass hatchery .

From Asia south east coast, west of my ponds, north of my comp, south of my lake ....I do hope you to fish farm in peace.

By the way bOOsteN aUdI try this :
