Re: KillieTalk Digest V2 #389
Hi Guys,
RE: the brewer's yeast question. Another thing that I have been using a lot of
for small fry like A. australe is green water. My water is pH 8.3 with a
hardness of 50 ppm here in Socorro, New Mexico. When I relocated here from NJ
about a year ago I baught a product call pH Down which contains Potassium Acid
Phosphate which not only will drive the pH down but is a fantastic fertilizer
for getting green water (algae). I add a small amount to tanks containing very
small fry. Even if the water turns to "peasoup" it doesn't seem to harm them
even after I've graduated them to live baby brine shrimp.
In order to get the pH of my water down to where I want it for breeding I now
use dilute Hydrochloric Acid (Muratic Acid). But I would recommend having some
"green" water around for the little guys. My mortality rate has gone to
virtually zero.
