Hi all,
I’m Matt, kept Cichlids for years. Decided to trade them in for Gouramis and Angel fish recently.
Setup a brand new 2ft tank purely for BN and Cherry Shrimp. At the moment, in that same tank I have 3 slate caves from Breamlegend, CRS, 1 male and 2 female adult albino BN and 4 baby pep BN who are too young to sex.
My plan is to try and breed the albinos and hopefully get a breeding pair of out the 4 peps.
Have so far found this forum really useful in setting up my tank and am about to start commencing daily water changes. Which brings me to my first question:
Looking forward to the fry
Regards,
Matt

If I perform daily water changes to imitate rain or the “wet season†isn’t that going to reduce the bacteria in the water? Would it be better if I drained say 20% and kept in a bucket overnight to cool down and then pour it back in the next day after removing another 20% keeping that in a different bucket?Regards,
Matt
