I just got six (of each)Agassizi dbl reds, Cacs triple reds and baenschi all from David Soares. (GREAT QUALITY AND SHIPPING CARE)
Any ways, I placed each group in their own densely planted 29 gal tank with a few platies. There are two coconut shells one on each end and lots of wood covered with java moss in the middle creating more hiding places plus all sorts of stem and bush plants along the back to create more plant cover.
It has been three days since they made it here but they are all still shy and hiding. The cacs and aggies are showing progress. The baenschi are really hiding...almost invisible. I am concerned about them.
Nitrates and Nitrites are at the zero (good) end of the scale that my kits show. pH is at 7.0 and hardness is less then 20ppm. I have yeast CO2 in all tanks. I was hoping the CO2 would drop the pH, but it has not. I plan to add some bags of peat soon to lower the pH a few points.
At the moment feeding happens once a day. Consists of small amounts of Tetra flakes, brine shrimp pellets and live bbs.
That wraps this up. I hope you can spot what I can change or add to help these guys. Any of your experienced suggestions are welcome. If this site can't help......
thanks
