Boraras Brigittae (Chili Rasbora) Pictures and Tank setups

[sunkenmetal]

So I snapped a few quick pictures. They are not the greatest pictures I will post some better ones later... This is my 20 gallon tank with a xp2 filter with 1 liter of eheim substrat pro, 1/2 liter of purigen, and eheim filter floss.

Not doing anything special.

[eklikewhoa]

What are you feeding them?

[sunkenmetal]

Tetra Color Tropical Crisps in the morning and a combo or tubifex worms and blood worms at night...

[Totenkampf]

might be the bloodworms, i havent tried that yet cuz they are so small and all i have is frozen. i might need to thaw and dice them

[eklikewhoa]

Are you crushing up the crisp?

I'm feeding tetra color flakes but ground up the whole bottle into dust which they take in very easily. Also on occassion I grind up NLS/Cichlid Excel. The new batch is coloring up some but the old batch look to be all female. LOL

[Totenkampf]

i wonder if they are sensitive to TDS? I havent checked that aquarium lately, maybe i should try purigen there tho i have never used it before since it MAY remove chelated micronutrients

[eklikewhoa]

I dunno if the TDS is a big factor cause I have some really colored up and most not.

Plus I have a big bag of purigen in my tank already LOL

[sunkenmetal]

I grind up half the crisps and leave the other whole...

[sunkenmetal]

TDS might have something to do with it. I have a Hauge water softener for my house so my water is soft and pretty clean...

i tried feeding my bloodworms but they are too big so gonna have to chop them up

but they seem to like the tetra crisps!
