  1. They should be ok ..I mix up different sizes often.
  2. I wouldn't use food that expired 2-3 years ago... Seems kinda cheesy that it was brought to the auction in the first place instead of the trash can where it belongs.

    Live food from ponds

    Heads up it is glassworm season ...get em while u can. Look for them in deeper water in ditches.
  4. Ahhh found the empty bag .5 mm community formula
  5. It was the small grow size in large bag . Can't remember if it had specific name , Harold brought it over. It affects the red colours the blues and yellows seem fine but it seems to take quite a bit longer for the colors to develop in young fish. Harold noticed the affect on the red colors also if I remember right.
  6. Yup I have to say the Northfin foods tanked the colors in all my grow out tanks that I tested it on. .
  7. I feed them NLS and occasionally live daphnia and glassworms when in season. Stay away from that Rapasy super food stuff.
  8. You can try clout , espom salt treatments or flubendazole , but once the color is gone from the fish it usually means they have internal damage and will probably never fully recover. If you get new fish from the same source you must hit them with meds right away as they will be carrying the same pathogens. The pathogens often remain dormant until the fish are stressed and surprisingly even things like very clean water if coming from heavily stocked grow out tanks can trigger the stress.
  9. I used to breed these many years ago . Planted tank with Calgary tap water and they would lay their eggs on a broad leaf ...that all I remember.
  10. I have a breeding pair of blue acaras in with 35 tropheus moorii and around 15 paracyps ...no problems

    Stream fed ponds are not that good. Try to find still water preferably near cattle pastures, even small puddles can yield large amounts of critters.

    Ponds are starting to produce early this year. I have already grabbed 4 buckets full, mostly newly hatched fairy shrimp.
