Ugh I would've went into a blackout rage from something like that. Lol least to say that kid wouldn't wanna sit down on anything for the next few weeks afterwards. Might have a permanent handprint on one of the 2 cheeks too lol.thank you, that is good to know! Idk how many babies they’ll have, if they’re too many to handle I’m fine culling them.
I don’t mind selling either, I could always see if the LFS will buy them.
Otherwise my buddies fish all died, he has 5 50gal 2 100gal and several small ones. I’ll give them all to him ?
He says his psychotic step son put bleach in all his tanks
But yeah ik for atleast in my own experience, looking at about 200-500 eggs per batch with a high mortality rate. By the time mine were ready to start selling, bout 1-1.5in, they had went from roughly 300 eggs to only 50ish babies and the numbers were dropping by the week from over crowding/cannibalism. Also the less ya have the faster the numbers drop, essentially if there's too much space the fish start to fight over it which leads to death/s. But yeah I would still space em out enough to atleast keep maintenance at a minimum tho.
