Hi James,
I have had loads of babies in my bio-orb. THere must have been about 20-30 as well. They were looking good for about 3 weeks or so and then all of them just died -- except the parents. So i'm guessing that it was just a bad batch. The water water perfect in all respects. The parents died about 3 weeks later -- but they admittedly were fairly old.
Not sure if the above helps? |

Hi thanks for your reply (if they were a bad batch surly they would of died before rather than 3/4 weeks on)
i cleaned out the tank, plants and heater with lots of hot water, cleanefd the foam for the air powered filter and put it in my main tank for 2 days to get a bit of bacteria in the system. I then put 4 adult guppies in left them for 45 mins when i got back 1 of them was dead(25th/5/05). This morning i looked at the other 3 and one of the females has got a bacteria diesease.
thanx |

i would clean ure entire tank and system out again, if u have any fish remainig i would get them checked, let your fist tank mature for at least a week, and place your fish in there, clean the main tank after that and transfer the fish with as little water as possible or all will be invain. sorry to say its a long shot and you may need to replace all
