Here is the tank after the 5 week Christmas vacation we took...auto feeders worked out fine

Very impressive tank(especially the last picture), how are your plants growing so well, I've never had luck in the few instances I've tried them. What's the lighting, and any special substrate under that gravel?

Do your fish get lost in that jungle? Very nice tank!

Thanks! I have some Danio fry survive sometimes because the hide in jungle long enough to not get eaten. I have 60W of 6500K and 4100K lights over it with about an inch of pea gravel for the substrate. I add Excel and Flourish about twice a week.

I have some Danio fry trying to make it now...

Some of them haven't hatched yet (curled up ones)...

I have sucked some of them out with a baster, so hopefully they will survive. I have no clue what to feed them.
Those pebbles are tiny and the fry make them look like boulders!

Very Awesome! love the fry pics!

Hikari makes a pretty good fry food, First Bites. Also, you can grind up whatever you're feeding your fish now and feed them that.

If you're adventurous, you can hatch BBS or find some other suitable live food that your fry can take.

Good luck!

I just sold some of my trimmings! If anyone needs any fast growers (Hygro. Polysperma, or Wisteria), Flame Moss, or Rotala...just PM me. The water was at the rim before I removed all the plants! Thats a pretty large volume to be filled by plant material!
