| Yes as jim said if they had been moved from a lower ph to a higher one that could of caused it but i just assumed they hadn't.
How long has the tank been up and running ? |

| Yeah, the fact that you've had successful batches in the patch really make me wonder, I mean it is possible that you just happened to have the pH off this particular time, but again, doesn't seem like it could cause bloating... could it? |

| well if i dont have success this time round im going to strip the tank ie. new substrate better filter and new water (100% change) and then cycle it for a month. its baffled me as to where i have gone wrong as i have had successful fry previously.
update on this tank today is that the albino is still fine. is it possible just to have a bad batch of fry? |

When they hatched was the male still with them  |

| question about feeding peas - how do you peel the skin off? does it come off easily after boiling? also how many peas will a young bn eat in a day? (mine has quite an appettite) |

| If you just blanch them for a couple of minutes and then give them a bit of a squeeze, when they have cooled enough to handle, the inside just pops out. It may take a couple of peas to master the art  |
