What, if anything, can be done to grown some green water quickly? I believe my Celestial Pearl Danios (formerly known as Microrasbora Galaxies) spawned because when I was cleaning last night I found 3 super-tiny fry. They are a fraction of the size of a newborn guppy and have a jerky swimming motion much like tetras. 4 rummynose tetras (which share that jerky swimming pattern) have only been in that tank since last Thurday. I would think they'd want more time to feel 'at home' before spawning. The only other critters in that tank are 6 or so amano shrimp, about 10 baby guppies, snails, kuhlii loaches, yoyo's, 2 standard bristlenose adults and 3 young (1.5"ish) albino longfin bristlenoses.
I'd likely have more fry, but some of the tank residents have probably been snacking. Not to mention I may have vacuumed some of them out. I'll be pulling out the tetras this evening. I removed the yoyo's, amano's and kuhlii's last night, and put the 3 babies in a suspended net. I don't know if this will hold them - it looks like they may fit through the holes. I added some java moss to the net so maybe they'll like it in there and not try to leave, but only saw one this am. I didn't have time to look very hard though - all 3 may all be in there. I gave them some hikari fry food - the fine powder type - but I believe even that may be too big for them to eat.
Is there anything that can be made, brewed, obtained any quicker than green water? I'd really like to see these guys make it even if just to find out what they are!
Any help would be appreciated!
