New hybrid pups

[Peckoltia]

Hi
One of my females gave birth within the last week - gave birth to 3 healthy female pups. The size of the pups was also quite impressive, nice big thick tails.

All three have started eating which is always a good sign - my go to with getting pups to feed has changed recently. I will very thinly chop up silversides/whitebait into tinny little pieces (even push the flat side of a knife on them), mix with some mushed up bloodworms (only for the first couple of weeks then remove this component) and the pellets that I eventually want to feed and store in the fridge so all the juices mix and become a heavy paste almost. Since I have done this have had very few issues with getting young pups smashing food quickly.

Thanks,

Thanks for the comments.

They are hybrids made of up - Leopoldi X Mantilla X Motoro. They are multigenerational hybrids, maybe 4 or 5 generations now.

Now at 2 weeks old and settled in very nicely munching away on pellets now. Changed a lot in two weeks, I feel that the lightest coloured one will be the pick of the three,
