Other Information: |
This is a new pair of fish from my spawn and hatch reports but all that info is in the journal. I will now start removing water every couple days as needed to keep the water level about the same while still adding the quart of fresh saltwater daily. These are "fancy white" ocellaris so the the stripes and colors are a bit different developing than a normal ocellaris. The measurements for the BRT is for total hight (16in) of the container and its slightly wider at top (21in) than the bottom (17in), but again it only has about 5 gallons of water in it so its only maybe half full. |
