cool, how did you do it, I've done it in accidently in a rice paddy 10'x15'x1'deep. that I was raising zebra dianos in. I had a seasonally marshy spot in my backyard that I dug out, bermed, and planted. It also produce a nice crop of giesha girls and bronze corys. Basically I just dumped out everything I couldn't find homes for from a couple of small community tanks that I wanted to use for other fish. I planted and stocked in early spring and drained it in late fall and had fish galore.
Actually it was a friends back yard in Hayward, Ca, he was my nieghbor. One back corner of his yard was always a mud puddle so we dug it out almost a foot deep them rototilled the mud and a bit of steer manure, we piled the dirt at the fenceline and tamped it firm. Then we planted rice plant shoots every 3-4" and filled it with a hose and added some dechlorinator. The ground seepage kept 6-8" of water on top of the 6" or so of mud. We also dumped in buckets of water from water changes at my house and his. Once the rice started growing and some algae grew we pretty much ignored it except to check the water levels daily. It was just a big mud puddle full of plants. We also got glass shrimp and fairy shrimp out of it.
I would love to see a pic of the fry. We have eggs in my 55 and we think they are the dojos. There are little wormlike things that came from the eggs and I would really like to know if it is from my weatherfish. The eggs are stuck to the tank sides and back. The eggs are one-eighth in diameter. If not dojo then any idea what they would be? I do hope someone can help me on this.freshwatermorayeel;33185;33185 said:
Well the eggs are gone now and I don't see anymore little worms crawling around so I just did a 50% water change yesterday. Maybe that will get something going. I sure hope so. I would really like to see what them little wormy things were. I have another little tank set up now so IF anything does happen I will be ready to move them and hopefully they will grow.
