The eshops pico 3.8 is tempting and it would be a good size to tank to my classroom for my desk in august (moving schools).

Target feeding rfa always help. I've gotten at least 3 spawning events in the past year and I target feed my rfa 2 or 3 times a week.Haven't had the time to go through this thread and research on my own, but what is the secret to get these guys to spawn? Ive had the same group of 7 or so for the past couple years and they spawned once in my fluval 13.5, but that was like 3 years ago and since moving them I haven't seen them spawn again. I saw babies but iirc only one made it, then died later on from a temperature spike. Had the same ones for a while but havent seen them spawn in ages, should I try just target feeding mysis often? Havent fed them in a bit
Alright, thank you!Target feeding rfa always help. I've gotten at least 3 spawning events in the past year and I target feed my rfa 2 or 3 times a week.
Thanks for the reply. I basically did the same. 30 minute float. 5-10 minutes on a towel.. Placed foot on a rock near where it meets the sand. They are all beautiful, happy, and healthy. I'm pumped.I usually float them about 20 minutes in the shipping bag, then take it out and let it secure its foot in a pvc cap and plop it in the tank.
They should open up fairly quickly if they are happy with the environment. Surely by day 2. I wouldn't feed them until they are comfortable.I am sure this has been answered in this thread somewhere but going through 44 pages is a lot, i recently got 5 RFAs and added them to my tank, they have all found a spot they like and haven't moved. However they are closed up and only open up a little bit and then for the most part close back up again. I was wondering how long it takes for them to get used to the tank and open up completely, also I was wondering how soon to start spot feeding them after adding them to the tank.
Without knowing the par of your lights or the levels in the tank they came from, it’s hard to say on the lights.I added them to the tank on Wednesday, they are opening up more often now. They open up the most when the light is off, should I turn the light down a bit? I am using an Aquaknight A029 with white at 10% and blue at 40%
Okay that's kinda what I figured, any recommendations on a par meter? I don't have one, preferably one on the cheaper sideWithout knowing the par of your lights or the levels in the tank they came from, it’s hard to say on the lights.
It’s likely they are just getting settled, and that can take a few days.
I don’t think the light is too bright, but they might just be acclimatingOkay, I used the Photone app and the PAR at the waters surface was 425, so I assume around the bottom of the tank its between 100-200 PAR, which is where all the rock flowers are
