Dear all
Just lost yet another batch of l-104 fry, prob the 10th batch i lose
Have tried everything on the face of the earth to keep the fry alive,
fry saver, no fry saver, daily water change, no water changes, gravel vac no gravel vac,
even tried using live plants for extra shelter and to help with water chemistry ETC etc etc...fry still die,
I have reached the conclusion that I am not doing anything wrong,
it might just be the london water, I do treat it with Seachem Prime or aquasafe but I think that will not work to soften the water.
I think the fry are not being able to cope with the hardness of the water...
London water is just too bad and hard.
Any thoughts or advise would be much appreciated.
Has anyone got any experience with Britta Cartridges or any such water softener cartridges?
I have been told to use RO water we can buy in the local Maidenhead Aquatics but that is just too high maintenance and costly,
would rather perhaps spend more but have the confort of not having to go to the local every time i need to do a water change...
If so, kindly please advise on aproximate price and make.
Once again thank you all for trying to help.
Kind regards
Joseph
