They can quickly decimate your numbers of fry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiguy Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Marty you pop up everywhere Green water from a pond is great for rainbows esp the very small Glossolepis(run it though a fine net eg Brine shrimp net to get out bigger nasties like the nymphs which are bad news as Pilly mentioned) A good combination for what Im sending you (M boesmani and M sexlineata) would be green water+liquifry+micropowder one used each feeding,a big lump of java moss and a mature sponge filter would be a good additional source of microfood.These 2 species only need small food for 3-4 days then will eat microworms and even BBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
