水草情迷

Hello all big brother,

My 孔雀 mother finally "so jor" few days ago, now I have all BB(about 20) in a 5 inches plastic tub, which I let it floating in my 1 feet tank - it's very stable because I have tank cover to 固定 it.

I change 50% of water daily(use my 1 feet tank's water), and feed them with crushed dry food/dried brine shrimp/egg york 2-3 times a day.

So far the BB growing fine, eat alot and very active. However I think it's not a good place to keep them for too long. I have another 25cmx10cm Betta tank could be used for the BB, do you think it's sufficient? I'm a bit worry about heating, if I use the Betta tank do you think a 25w heater still too much?

Please give me suggestion & thank you very much!!

孔雀bb 要成日換水, 個缸又大, 餵得又密先快大喎.

草人 hing, can you tell how big 個缸 will fit about 30 孔雀bb ? I'm now put them in a BB floating tank.

My experience is that in long terms, it's better to buy a tank specifically for BB guppy, a 20cm cube tank would cost you just HK$35-40 only. They will grow better, bigger and faster in a relatively bigger environment before elimination (if you choose to do so). Add some moss for them to swim around. Feed them with anything you like as long as the food is clean. I suggest mixing with hi-calcium ingredients for bone growth. Anyway, if you really want to breed, be prepared to separate the male and female for keeping after one month. Some experts even choose to raise the babies always under lights and using heater to keep the temperature pretty high (around 28C) as they would grow faster because the first three months determine their adult sizes (the bigger the better). The shortcoming is that their lives may be shorter than usual.

I hope this helps. Good luck!!!
