Ive taken them off of the BBS a while ago and started feeding flake and crushed Massivore. They seem to be growing really well.
I just had my first massive cull this morning. My Red Texas and Green Terror had a lot of snacks....
I’ve saved 12 of the larger regular looking ones just in case mom or dad die, then I still have a semi base stock to continue.
I’ve also separated out 7 of the whiter ones from the electric blue batch. I’ve not culled any of the EB’s yet, waiting to see how they turn out, might get a stunner with some of the color already being shown in the tank with the most EB’s.
Anyway, next step in the plan is to breed one of the separated EB’s to my female and hope for a gold somewhere in there.
My breeder pair has yet another spawn in the tank with them. I’ve left them alone with them in the hopes that they will learn to be good parents and raise a few of their own. They ate the last brood after about 2 days free swimming. We are at day 3 of free swimming now, so that’s progress of a sort.
Here’s the pictures of my three tanks of babies, all from the same spawn that hatched on 8 August. They refuse to stop moving, so bear with the fuzzy pictures until I break out the real camera for some bright color shots later on down the road.
