Re: To keep fry from fungusing
Hi Brother Paul,
I have been meaning to write to you. Haven't had the time. It was nice
to see you on the list. And I needed to thank you for getting me my first
killies all those years back in Honolulu. Contact me off the list after.
I have had similar problems after moving to Maui. My water has changed
dramatically and I suspect that a pH bounce early on (my water is very
poorly buffered and very soft and acid, Apistos spawn in my tap water). In
many cases I could keep them going with very frequent water changes or
adding calcium carbonate to increase the buffering.
MTF
