Bocomo, I dont know for sure.
JKB, thanks
I removed the male this morning so now there is only fry in the aquarium. His job was done.
There's a few dead fry carcasses floating around but it looks in the numbers of a few dozen, not yet a mass dieoff.
I have a 600 gph pump in my outdoor 800 gallon tank with vinyl tubing running through my doggie door to the 100 gallon tank.
The elevation is that i can pump the tank aquarium full of pondlike water from the outdoor tank, then when i turn the pump off the water from the aquarium will siphon back to the outdoor tank.
inevitable i will be losing hundred maybe thousands of fry in the water changes but the main school is swimming against the current and i think this may be the only way to save a significant number.
My mason jars for algae cultures are still light green but noticeable darker than the first day. I may be able to start using them tomorrow.
