Update on micros!

[Neervana]

Well it seems like I'm going to take on the other two juveniles that Pete has, we are building a fish house (got tanks coming in and insulation being put in) and he has not had enough time to feed them 2-3 times a day and as mine are getting fed a lot I will be bringing them home on friday . Thought I would post updates of them all this friday with pictures.

I have only been doing very small waterchanges since I have got them because of the chemicals in the tap water I wasn't sure how they would react to a big waterchange. I have just vaccumed up any debris on the gravel and so far its been ok. I was expecting to see a lot of flashing but nothing. They have been just fine.

I have been hand feeding them with prawns this has meant no messy eating and there aren't food left uneaten on the floor of my tank!

So far my two micropeltes have been schooling together and I've noticed that they like to play in the water flow of my eheim!

Will be interesting to see how they react with the other two when they arrive. I think mine have already put on weight and grown an inch or two since I only bought them home last week, thats a big improvement haha.

Anyway pics of all four juveniles together are coming up friday night guys, check this thread then

We shall have to see i'm not sure whether a tropical pond would be better, will have to see what sort of size they grow to.

Ponds arent that good..Only a top view of fish ...lol

oh yes sounding good neer, yea don't focus to much on waterchange's, they do fine without same as "normal" fish.....
Tropical pond's are good in my oppinion, neer thought you was in a flat? or are you having an indoor trop pond? is your floor concrete?

I have a big appartment. I have moved my tanks etc out of there.

Our fish house and tanks etc are going to be at Pete's house He has a garage and its not used much so we thought we would turn it into a fish house and also the shed in his garden already has tanks in it. So I thought one could be a breeding fish house and the other just a grow out fish house!
