Challenging order from the Wetspot

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Wow they’re looking great. Never heard of these being kept successfully long term, let alone being bred consistently.

Do you think I could raise some on daphnia or moina rather than live bbs?

Sorry for the late reply tbh I think this species mouth is too small for adult daphnia. They may eat the baby daphnia but never tried feeding daphnia. Moina never considered trying them. I almost added scuds but they will probably prey on the fry. They thrive on mosquito larvae in the wild.

Well, I guess I won’t be keeping them. Admire your dedication!

Challenging day!!!
The heater stopped heating. Thought it was functioning until I noticed the stick on thermometer displayed a reading of 69 instead of 75. I panicked and placed a old heater in but didn't allow enough time for the heater glass before plugging it in. The heater exploded good thing I didn't leave to go to work. My Daughter went and purchased a new heater and I gave her instructions to let the heater sit for atleast 20 minutes prior to plugging it in. I don't know if they will survive but will see.
I also placed a bottle with calcium chloride and water in the aquarium before leaving to work.
