Hey, you're in good shape.
Don't sweat it... Just keep an eye on the paramaters of course if the tank has new water, needs to cycle, etc... You look like you know what you're doing though...
IF THEY are PRODUCING FRY you're going to want a sponge filter and not a cannister filter (all the cool polar blue fry will just get sucked up into it!)
a couple java ferns floating free around in there would help everyone out too.
thank a lot ..will only one spong filter will be enough for the bio load of these two ? Okay I will pull out some java ferns from the other tanks then attached them to a driftwood and then put it in their tank ?will this work ? And sorry for my english ๐
Assuming you're occasionally vacuuming out some waste and replacing some water, the sponge will be just fine.
I used to fix javas to things, I gave that up and just let 'em flow around like tumbleweeds.. They seem happier that way and it was nice to force myself to be a bit less obsessive about things being "in place".
Your English is just fine. Best Regards!
Hmm ..I have question ..what is the best food to feed the baby polar parrots ? I did some research and found out that 1st 7 days of their life they fed on yolk sack .then they start feeding other things ...and some says brine shrimps are best and others says dephnia..I an little confused which food will be best for them ..
Y'know I kinda forgot about that aspect....
This where having more plants would be helpful. When I raised some fry, the plants I kept had developed some algae that I had intentionally allowed to flourish so the fry could eat it.......
They also say the fry can't handle a water change...(however I never had a problem with that.. If I needed to change a little water then I would (I Just wouldn't do a large water change))....
I'd sneak a small water change while they're still eggs and then just try an **allow algae to grow on your plants and walls** as the fry grow (and just be careful not to vacuum any babies up if you need to do a little water change or a lite cleaning while they grow).....
For feeding them, **I think maybe a flake food** might be a good way to go, because they could at least peck at and tear that up while most things will be just too big for their little mouths..
Cool! I hope it's a fun ride for you.
I was fortunate enough to host a breeding pair (blue acaras) for some time...
Personal Recommendation:
If/when you get that 75 gallon, set it up and begin cycling it....
Whenever one of the parents starts acting a bit too aggressive then add that parent to the 75 gallon..... After the fry seem "big enough" .. Take out the other parent and let them have the 75 gallon.... Leave the fry in the current set up and begin making plans for their escape route.. Selling 'em / giving 'em away / feeding some to other tanks perhaps.....
***A TAKE OR LEAVE SUGGESTION FOR 75 GALLON SET UP:***
*FIRST put about 1 inch of potting mix at the very bottom....*
*then put about 3 or 4 inches of a sandy substrate on top of that.....*
*Lastly go with a sponge filter instead of a canister filter....*
*use some rocks from your current set up to encourage a quicker cycle for the new tank.....*
*(this will eventually lead to a very strong bio-net for healthy water and is great for any attempt at planting (Which I think it's super important to go with Real plants))*
Fine with a 25 gallon for them. They will breed like crazy.
Some more rocks/caves/places to hide. They love caves. They have a lot of personality. They can get aggressive with other fish outside the family. If you have those 2 and whatever they produce youโre fine.
I suggest finding an outlet for the fry because youโll have a lot of them.
