Thanks for the info. You're probably right. It is a loss but I hope to have better luck next time. They were all doing well just three days ago.
If I get another brood do you think it'll help if I get a very large biowheel type filter? I have two grow out tanks. Both at 10gal. When they get...
Your post got me thinking. I have this in my main tank. They are very tiny and accumulate on the glass.
I found this link.

And am trying the remedy right now.
Yeah. I think it's some type of disease. They've been in this tank since they became freeswimmers. And other then cycling, they are also the only things that have been in this tank. To cycle I used syphoned water and filter rings from my main tank. I think it's safe to rule out any communicable...
Thanks Mike.
I took the mother as well as the hatchery out of the tank last week because she got to the point of chasing them around. Also figured it was time to end the wheaning and feel them souley other foods.
I'll throw the hatchery back in the tank tonight and see if things improve...
So I have a brood of about 40 fry and the last two days I've come home to dead fish. They lay on the bottom and seem to die slowly. I checked all the water parameters and they are as follows. Ph-7.2. Amm-0 trite-0 trate-0. I've been doing partial water changes of ro water and still can't figure...
Please refer to the pictures in my above post with before and after shots. All of these plants were flourishing, I had to even propagate and throw put a bunch leading up to the substrate change. In the after pictures just imagine the BGA being everywhere there wasn't a shadow.
I have snails but not many as I also have an assassin in there too. MTS? I have two sword plants that had riz. But when I did the inititial change it had fallen off almost as if the plant was shedding it. All the other plants are made up of grasses, micro tears, apart sword, spiral sword...
update
It's been a month or two since the change.
The sand substrate settled and became anarobic and nothing was growing. I had an outbreak of green slim which I tried to resolve twice with a week of no light each time. Didn't work. The green slime just grew back eventually. I decided to...
Not a problem, I hoped I helped.
One of the dealers on here is about 40min away. The amazon basement I think it is? I have not been there yet but it's just over in York.
I try to stop in there on a Friday night, once a week. That's when they get their new stock. I rarely see dwarf cichlids in stock. The only dwarfs they have in stock right now are a half dozen male A. Panduros.
They do however, keep a large number of African cichlids.
I had them put me...
Mother and 2days shy of 1month old fry.

The hatchery works like so. In the video you can see a bulbeous part on the hatchery at the bottom. At the top of this bulb it necks down to a small diameter. At the top of the bulb and where...
Yes I've read that bbs is best if fed right away but I can't be home 24 hours a day. This is why I have the toms setup in the tank to provide continual feeding of bbs. And every night I add first instars to the hatchery so that in the morning before the bbs make it out of the hatchery the older...
Update
Transferred mother and babies to 10gal grow out tank. I counted roughly 65 babies. I'm pretty sure this is her first spawn. She's doing really well as a mother even attacking my turkey baster as I suck up her offspring.
In the grow out tank I have Toms hatchery going which supplies a...
