RE: Why do SAE's die so easly
Hi Dave. I have had my 50-gal planted tank running for about a year now. I
started out with 3 SAEs that were quite small. Unfortunately, one jumped
out before I got a glass tank cover and it was dead before I discovered it.
The other two are still going strong -- big, fat, and seemingly very
healthy.
What's your schedule for water changes? What are you feeding? I have found
that there's not any visible algae in my tank any more (I also have a few
Amano shrimp), but the SAEs also eat regular fish food, especially the
Hikari sinking tablets or algae wafers.
