Thanks!
And yes I'm gonna try. Don't know if they will make it or not. Got them in breeder nets now in the basement. I'll post pics of that later. I shut the 75 down on Thursday no light, no filtration, no air, no heat. Saturday I started draining it and got about half way done when my wife decided she wanted lunch. So needless to say I didn't get it all drained. Sunday I went to drain the rest an decided to save the snails I could see crawling on the glass and background, that's when I noticed them and started netting them out. They are tiny. There's still more I just can't catch them all. I'm gonna try again today to get the rest ive created a "pool" with rivers feeding it to try and corral the rest.
I've lost count but the number is over 40. In the past when I've had or expected to have baby fish I was ready or in the case of the cichlids they were big enough and willing to eat whatever I fed. These guys are so small and I am not prepared to find or grow them food so hopefully they will eat some of what I have. I went out and got frozen baby brine and frozen daphnia but again they are so small. I am also going to powder some pellets. I figure if I can raise them up I can take them in for credit at an lfs.
They make that prepared food that's called something like Baby Bites or First Bites if the Daphnia is too big... I had it once when my dwarf acaras were spawning. That might still be too big though, I'm not sure. Just a thought!
wonder what they are thinking about? conspiracy theory: they were thinking about food.
