I have had about 15 adult Amano's in my Trigon 190l corner tank for ages. Every now and then I see about 5 or 6 pregnant females. Then a few weeks later the same females are eggless for a while and then it starts all over again.
So after researching the internet reading many forums including this one I have decided to go for it. I have set up a small 12 inch square tank in the garage, with lights heater (26 degrees) and a small air pump driven sponge filter. I used mature water from my other tank and have been adding salt (marine sea salt) The females have just become pregnant again.
I have got some green water on the go to produce (infusoria / phytoplankton) Are they the same thing?
I have a few other questions if anyone can help I would appreciate it.
1. How long should I leave them before transferring to the small salt water tank?
2. How long does it take for the females to drop the eggs (berries) once they are in there?
I have a Hydrometer for measuring the specific gravity of the tank water can anyone tell me what 35ppt equivalent is on the SG scale? or what is the reading on a specific gravity meter for salinity to = 34 / 35 ppt? (1.025)?
Thanks,
Steve
