Hyphessobrycon Heterorhabdus

Hyphessobrycon Heterorhabdus

After removing the adults, I turned the lights off and threw a blanket over the tank. I’m told that some young tetras are light sensitive. If Hyphessobrycon flammeus is one of them, then I’m a genius. If not; no harm was done.
The first of what became hundreds of fry appeared within hours of removing the adults and draping the tank. I felt like a kid again sneaking under the blanket with my little flashlight to spy on the wigglers.
Within a few days, I replaced half the water with aged tap (R/O water being void of mineral content) and slowly re-lit the tank. Micro-worms and paramecium were only necessary for a short time. Baby brine shrimp were taken soon after.
So, if the old-timer does a "blah-blah-blah…" on your tank of Hyphessobrycon flammeus,
