there are two shells that are crowded with babies and the females aggressively guarding the fries :) not sure how well they will survive i tried feeding them crushed NLS hope they survive well :)

regarding the brown algae, the stones and glass are pretty clear now and bristlenose are working well so now the thing left is the sand....

how will i get rid of algae on the sand bed ??

Congratulations!!!

First of all save the babies, after that think about to get rid algae.

@ Scorpio i doubt the babies ll be saved as i dont have extra tank

the babies have started to come out of safe zone and mom is strong enough to drive other fishes far away, they are also trying to pick on small bits of crushed NLS

@ sub thanks bro i have no option as not allowed to keep tanks :D so only option left is parking... more over tank leaked couple of times soo have to shift them out

been quite long since i updated so here i am not pictorial update though

the tank is doing great and heat is kicking up
there are just babies, babies and more babies of multis
algae have kicked in a bit more as i was bit busy with my work schedule...

now the sad news is i have to compulsory remove the tank from there to some different place
where ? thats not decided but have to

soo here i come with another problem how to save the babies multis ?

and after that i don't have any plants to add multis as don't want babies in the tank so it will be just a gold head comps dominated tank....

That's great to know!! Pics are mandatory!!! Comeon :)

My hobby mate kept the multies for year. The baby survival decreases considerably in summer. Excess babe can act as food for comps. In case you thought about.
