In May of 2009 my pair of Grammodes spawned. Shortly afterwards, I sold the pair and all the babies...or so I thought. About 3 months later, I found seven little 1/4" babies had got sucked into the HOB and somehow survived!!! I put them in a 29g tank. For six months, they didn't grow...even though they were eating fine. Now it's just over a year later and 3 of them are approaching about 1"-1.5", and the other 4 are still less than an inch. But they're really cute!

If you had these little stunted runts, what would you do?
 
Keep the little buggars!

I voted feeders. If not, keep them so they don't become someone else's lost hopes.

lol Yeah you're right, if I took them to the lfs, they would be sold to the public as baby grammodes, but unfortunately they probably wouldn't grow for the new owner....that would suck. I didn't think about that.


Keep the opinions coming....aren't polls fun? :grinno::D
 
I'd keep 'em . . . who knows, they might turn out to be interesting
 
Keep them :D

I think I have a stunted yoyo loach.
I bought 2 yoyo loaches at the same time almost a year ago and they were like 1/2 and inch, one is now almost 2 inches and the other is barely 1 inch and they're both in a 75 gallon :D
He's soooooo cute.
