Bloodworm for the halfbeaks

Dropped the temperature to 24c as there's still no more signs of the white spot, although working in that room so the tank was well above that all day!

Looking at the halfbeaks and the female is definitely growing a large bump. I'm hoping that it's not a tumour or cyst and if I'm lucky she's pregnant. The male is still very attentive, but she doesn't want to know.

Tried them all on frozen bloodworm this morning. Dropped half a defrosted block into the outflow of the pump and the bloodworm shot across the tank, giving the half beaks just seconds to grab what they wanted. Then the neons had more than their fair share as the blodworm sank and got caught onto the plants, which are growing well and I had to cut back yesterday.
