Re: Green water



What species of raspbora? Did the fry survive? Very interesting. Would love to spawn mine, the females look ready but nothing ever happens. Funny, my greenwater appeared when I jacked up the temperature and declined when I lowered it too.
Good luck with the moving and congratulations on selling your house!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions regarding my green water problem.I've looked them all over and come up with a battle plan; 1. keep a daphnia culture going outside for future use as algae eradicators. 2. build a daphnia cage to replace the one I donated to the auction (d'oh!). 3. Within the next three weeks I have to tear down all four of my tanks and move them to our new house next door. As of today our house is sold! Big massive water change for everyone.
4. If the green water returns, mobilize the daphnia force.
5. If that doesn't do the job, UV sterilizer. The daphnia become fish food. I did raise the water temp recently and that may have contributed to the "bloom". It may also be what prompted my Chinese rasboras to spawn! There's a plus side to everything.
Thanks Again
Bob
