    questions about floaters (mostly about frogbit)

    Hi, I only managed to breed N. Marginatus when my Pistia grew really bushy roots. Never with Salvinia or Frogbit. My experience is that floaters don´t like water on top of their leaves, or high current.

    Copella callolepis (sensu Zarske)

    Hi, What do you reckon is the reason for such a low survival rate? I've seen your tanks, lack of hiding places clearly is not the reason.

    Hi, How often do you change water when fry are around and how do you feed them?

    Is Fry Death Normal?

    Hi, In my experience, that saltwater raises conductivity quite fast. And I don´t think the metabolic waste from the shrimp helps either if you want to maintain some level of water quality. Just my 2 cents.

    So much to chose..

    I vote for Abacaxi. That purple throat is quite nice.

    Hole in the head?

    Hi, I have never measured PH. I´m lazy and if I get what I want, i.e. breeding apistos, I´m happy. I bet Darrel will take over this thread ;) with his bacteria and archaeons! I stock my tanks with as much floating plants as is humanely possible. Those things love ammonia.

    How to start breeding in hard water?

    My A. sp. abacaxis did the same thing except they spawned the same day I introduced some N. Marginatus. Maybe just a coincidence? How could adding dithers act as a trigger?

    Clay like substrate

    Hi, Darrel and his bad ass links basically changed the way I keep my fish. Especially the patented Duckweed Index™!

    Anyone have tips for hatching BBS?

    Hi, Thanks for your thorough reply. What is that cap btw? Does it fit with every bottle?

    nannostomus marginatus

    I find that Pistia is all that is needed. New fry emerge every month.

    Anyone have tips for hatching BBS?

    Hi, How big a part does temperature play in hatch rate? I think I only have a 50 % hatch rate. I use this mix: https://www.jbl.de/en/products/detail/3358/jbl-artemiomix
