HELP! - I'm A DAD

Believe me - my 1,2 metre Jewel has MORE pods than they can handle ;-)

yeah i'm interested they free? well, would prefer them to eat flakes , setting up shrimp factories is a lot of work, too much for my plate right now, but seriously if they eat flakes would love two

They are free! I'll only charge you R300 to catch them , Flakes, I wish, but think I've got more chance of falling pregnant

If you wanna grab some fry let me know, you can have them....

Funny enough not, they can eat.....

sweet! i want i want! any things i can feed them that are easy?

 

[lIghty]

Newly hatched BBS 3times a day, from 3 brine hatcheries that are started every day, ensuring BBS that are FRESH, vacuuming the tank at least once a day, if not after every feed. Daily water change of 10 to 20%, what did I forget? oh ye, you have to separate the BBS from the egg shells using a air pipe before feeding....... how many you what?

 

[scubaninja]

-10. ha, they will eat flakes if they know what is good for them if they are under my roof please train them to eat flakes? pretty please?

 

[lIghty]

I will try.........

 

[scubaninja]

cool, if they will eat normal brine shrimp, frozen that is, i could give them a try, if they are too hard for me i could always find them a better caring home

Sorry bud, not trying to burst your bubble, but frozen won't work, you 1st have to get them to survive to about 4-6 weeks and feeding on live artemia, them slowly teaching them to eat dead/frozen food through a feeding station. Just getting them to 2-3 weeks is hard enough.

hey, well, would them eating frozen stuff when they are older work? kind of only want them older, cause my system is still kind of new, so they would need to be a little forgiving for a while

You have to train them from a ayoung age...

 

[scubaninja]

[scubaninja]

How far did you get the fry?

 

[lIghty]

think it was only 6 days, getting so frustrated.

Were they feeding on newly hatched brine shrimp or do you think they need a smaller food item, I am getting some brine shrimp eggs, cyclopeeze and vitality. Both the male banggai and seahorse are preggies at the moment. Feeding the banggai babies is no problem but the seahorse babies may be if you are having problems feeding them. Are they your Tiger Tails (comes)or the Yellows (kuda) that are breeding or both. If I remember right it is both.

Hi Steve, was feeding them newly hatched BBS, Really don't think they are nutritional enough. think they are Comes, but not 100% sure, and all 3 pairs are breading.
