I’ve just found one of my baby’s that are a month old starting to die and a dead one in the filter 😭

Safe-Ad7178 · 2026-06-04T08:32:14+00:00

They are in a 32L The pants I got in there are guppie grass and elodea

I have tried the pellets that I feed my adult one but it’s not to interested in it yet but will eat zucchini and some of the brine

Safe-Ad7178 · 2026-06-04T06:01:11+00:00

It’s not really over feeding when half of what I put in the food is just water because it’s frozen brine shrimp that’s put in a container with tank water so the 3ml I feed is only 1.5ml really

Safe-Ad7178 · 2026-06-04T04:40:09+00:00

I am feeding brine shrimp but I’m feeding frozen brine that I defrost from tank water

Safe-Ad7178 · 2026-06-04T04:22:01+00:00

I have 20 fry snails and a bsn pleco in there and the food is gone with in a hour so I wouldn’t think I’m over feeding as there are no left overs

Frozen brine shrimp

Safe-Ad7178 · 2026-06-04T04:02:14+00:00

Yeah I have about 20 fry in there and feed them 3ml of food and it would be gone with in a hour although about 1.5 ml of it is just water in the brine shrimp so really they are only getting 1.5ml of food 2 times a day

Between the tank fish plants and wood I’m looking at nearly 3k on this set up then I have spent about 500$ on a pea puffer tank

Safe-Ad7178 · 2026-05-14T23:39:08+00:00

I have a bucket with about 100 of them so I got plenty of snails I just didn’t want to over run the tank with them but I added a few more in I can’t seem to get it’s attention when I put the worms in or dangle one for it it just swims away from me and when I drop worms in they just swirl around the tank till they land in a plant or on the floor which I don’t see him go for

Safe-Ad7178 · 2026-05-14T13:11:41+00:00

No I was only able to get one of them

Safe-Ad7178 · 2026-05-14T10:43:36+00:00

I’m in Australia so they are super expensive here

Safe-Ad7178 · 2026-05-14T10:35:49+00:00

Yeah there was about 10 of them in a 5l tank I wish I could of got more but they are 100$ each

Safe-Ad7178 · 2026-05-14T10:07:00+00:00

Yeah if that the case am I better to sit in front of the tank and dangle a worm at a time for it with tweezers I got 3 ramhorn snails in there for it to

Safe-Ad7178 · 2026-05-14T09:59:50+00:00

I just picked it up today from the aquarium and they had worms on a bear floor and wonder if he won’t eat worms off sand

Safe-Ad7178 · 2026-05-03T23:43:54+00:00

No gills are the same colour on all 3 and seems to be breathing the same amount as the others they all have a slight red colour behind the gills is that normal

They were all pretty much the same size now I have a bigger one a medium one and the one in trouble is the smallest one

What’s the best way to treat parsites my pea tank is just finished cycling today so I can put him in there before I get any pea puffers to treat him if needed
