darkangel Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I was just cleaning up some of the loose leaves in my planted tank, and when I gave the H. micranthimoides a little shake I saw a wack of little guys dart into the anubius nana. They looked silvery/black and about a 1/4 inch long. The tank occupants are 80+ cardinals, 6 black neons, 8 harlequins, 4 sae's, 5 zebra loaches, 2 bn plecs, 1pr blue rams, 1 pr albino kribs, 6 assorted cories, and started out with 15 habrosus cories but counted 27 at the front of the tank the other morning. Tank is 72 gal grossly over planted (95%) sufficient filtration for 300+ gal. Water parimeters are amonia-0 nitrite-0 nitrate-25ppm ph is between 5.0 & 6.0 What could the mystery babies be?

Baos Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I had a single pair of tetras that made 100+ babies for me in a matter of 2 months. I believe all they need is some dense planting to block out the light. I believe they survive on algae or other micro organisms that eat algae.

darkangel Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Got another look at them today. My guess is either the black neons or the cardinals. I will know for sure when they grow up a bit more. There had to be 50+ in the little cloud I saw today and who knows how many in the filters.
