Whats your planned water change regime? Is the tub in direct contact with sunlight? You started feeding them from 1st day? All the bbrs from same batch?
It is nice to have more but being I a newbie and striving to study and maintain them; hence, the low quantity. However, these babies have settled down and swimming confidently even with lights on. No sunlight shinen at my tub location, so artificial lighting.

After my first experience of feeding daphnia, I had to do a 100% water change to avoid risking death as the water condition turned very bad due to dead daphnia.

Lucky me, they all survived given their delicate system. Ever since, I decided to go 3 days once water change; e.g. If Monday was the water change day, then, Fri would be the next water change.

during water change, do take extra care on water temp between old and incoming water, water quality (as in aged water for water change or using water conditioner well dissolved with incoming water)

thanks for the advice bro..i use a mixture of aged and water conditioner well dissolved with incoming water... i only transfer fish after temp is stabilized and same as old water.

As my water evaporates rather fast, i just add in my aged water to replenish it. other than that, scheduled days for water change, i do a 100% change...
