Well seeing as they are very transparent I think was was seeing food because I cut back a little and they are looking more normal. They are juvies and just go crazy on the food whereas my mature ones don't tend to do that. Although being juvies I'm not going to worry about them overeating right now ...

Yes, I was wondering about the crayfish snacking on the fish. I think it was inevitable.

Right now they are SO active I cant get any pics, I've tried. Normally I feed them bottom feeder sinking wafers or shrimp pellets. Every so often they get an algae wafer and they go crazy over it. About twice a week they get frozen brine shrimp, flake or bloodworms. I try to change it up every day.

This is so very cool! I'm really loving the crayfish. Great picture taking too.

Ok I have 3 baby albino aenues. When I say baby I don't know exactly how old but they are almost 1 inch in length each. Two of them look like they have stuffed their tummys to the brim and are bulging with lumps all over. The only thing in the tank all day was a tiny part of an algae wafer that they ...

Great pics! I have two peppers who are doing this exact thing right now and have been 24/7 for a few days. Weird thing is I thought the darker one was the male with dark dorsal fin and spots and my lighter, stocky one was the female but the lighter one appears to be the one doing all the hovering ...

I keep corys, bettas and some neons.

Well the last one to die was Monday and I had to euthanize him (metae). A few days before that was the Sterbai and before that 2 emeralds and a Julii. At the moment all the corys in the tank are from Petsmart and Petco except for my one and only Aeneus (bronze) that is from LFS. He came from a ...

Yes, I use a conditioner for chlorine, chloramine and hard metals then Amquel Plus for ammonia, and the N's. Not a dumb question. There are so many people who are misinformed. I was trained by a marine biologist student to take care of a fish dept in a pet store back in the early 90's so thats were ...

Well I will be observing the four of them and I'll update as I go.

Thank you everyone for your responses and opinions.

I have 3 albinos and one regular green aeneus and wondering how they see each other as far as schooling goes. They like to be with their own kind but will the regular green recognize the albino as it's own kind or will it shun it because of the albinism? Vise versa. Since albinism is a defect would ...

Ok I'll keep up with the water changes daily and as of now I only have 3 corys in there. Albino Aeneus, reg aeneus (bronze) which I thought was a brochis but is not and one peppered. Fortunately they are schooling together and do everything together. I do test the water parameters 2 times a day just ...

Yes those are some good suggestions! Also I forgot to mention that all the sick fish came from one local petstore and all exhibited problems by the next day that I brought them home. I am suspect that many of his fish are sick and don't think I'll be buying from him anymore. The ones that are still ...
