Apistogramma Agassizii Gold Blaze breeding project
do you still see them moving or do they become very still? I saw some people saying they would put them in a supper saturated brine solution, do you just leave them in their hatch water?- Jon E

how long can you keep BBS alive? what is the best way to store (If any) BBS so that you don't have to have a hatch going all the time? I hatched a 1/4 teaspoon and it was much more than I needed.- Jon E

Apistogramma Agassizii Gold Blaze breeding project

I feel a little unprepared, as I don't have any BBS but I do know there is bunch of micro organisms in the tank. I did Grind up some bug bites into a powder and have some froze...- Jon E

Apistogramma Agassizii Gold Blaze breeding project
I hope it is appropriate, I am just going to log what I am doing on this thread, so if anyone else starts a similar project they can see what I did and if it worked. I am going to write about what I plan to do, so if anyone has advice to avoid some critical errors it could save me some pain...- Jon E

New to soft water, acidic tanks!
What would be the best way to proceed? Right now I am thinking of setting up a non planted breeding tank (10g) and putting in leaf litter, a couple caves, some driftwood and sand substrate, maybe some Moss. Would I put straight RO water into that? should I add any trace nutrients?- Jon E

@yukondog Are the fry large enough to eat BBS or should I look to culture some daphnia before bbs? I think I will need to set up and cycel a 10g with leaf litter and caves no plants, that way I can keep the water soft without worrying about the nutrients for the plants driving TDS and Kh up.- Jon E

My current breeding set up is 20 g (24"), PH is 7, TDS is a little higher than I would like, but I am working to bring it down one water change at a time. I have the temp sitting...- Jon E
