my new arrivals

[thanew]

so my yellow lab let these little guys loose today, she still has about 3 in her mouth, so making a total of 9 little fry

so anyways, I was wondering if algae wafers, crumbled very very small, were a good idea for food and some brine shrimp flakes of course crumbled too... since I have no access to any liquifry or anything else

Thats great news!!!!
I would feed them what I had untill I could get what I thought was approprite..
you need to post in the breeding section with the water conditions and such that brought this about!

 

[thanew]

so she ended up with 17 babies... yes 17, quite a lot and she is hungry as anything right now

That is pretty cool. I wouldn't have imagined that the fry looked like that. Just if mine would breed. What did you do to the tank to get them to breed?

 

[Jchillin]

Congrats thanew! That little one looks just darling. Very healthy indeed. Kudos to you.

congrats! They are gorgeous!

you could even smush flakefood up to a very fine texture, and that should be fine.

my ph stays at 7.9.. there are 2 males to one female now, was 1:1 but the johaniis killed off the other one, and they were subsequently relocated.

anyways, temp is @ 80, its lightly planted, a lot of places to hide, really I haven't done anything special they just keep breeding, shes spawned about 3 times now in the last 4 months and the other one did twice.

yea lmw80, I picked up some first bites today at petco

 

[greenmaji]

thanew.. do you know the KH of the water in the tank?
