I have one more Goldstripe in with my little guppy fry right now, the other Goldstripe used to be his tank mate, should I put them back together?
They got separated when my DD's fish died and she didn't want the tank, so I took out the Cory but we searched and looked the other one, three times on two different days, couldn't find him and thought he had died and been eaten. Then two weeks later, went to use the tank, and there he was just chillin!
It is sort of hard to catch them, I had a bad experience a couple years ago getting my big guy stuck in the net and had to cut him out, but after a couple of days the piece of net fell off. The Cory and I both, were extremely upset, then happy! I try and use a sandwich bag or cup now.
Is there anything good/special/nice about keeping a bunch of pygmys? I will have two main tanks, 18 and 37, and then the 6.6 Fluval Edge, after I see if I like it enough, I think I will be asking for for Mother's Day from DD.
What size group would be good for each tank. The Edge 6.6, since the pygmys are smaller, I could have a group, and thinking of having that as a future shrimp tank, although watching the fry this week had been so much fun, they get a tails length larger every day!!!
