Got up this morning to do a water change on my Chimba Tank.

Removed all Texas Holey Rock, and drained 90% of the water.

I had two holding females, so i scooped them out to see if the eggs were fully developed. Look what they had.

1 had 17 and the other had 11.

Nice...

90%? Is that a regular water change on your Trops? Is that weekly, bi-weekly or monthly?
