:D He's staying with me.. he's 3/4 ct and 1/4 hmx A combo but appears to be more of a momma's boy.

-_- I'm worried about that one too. I'll be gone for 5 days but they will be without food for 4 days. I think the adults will be okay but I worry about the babies. I'm planting the tanks heavily and still trying to find someone to come in for those couple of days.

:D I know... I'm watching that one myself plus one little orange male. Red seems to be the dominate color with this mating.

-_- I am thinking of switching to live plants during the summer months. My silk plants are getting loaded with algae and it's a real chore getting that darn stuff off. If I switch to live plants which would be the best... java moss or java fern. I have the moss in with the fry now and...

:blink: She's a dark blue/black combo so she's not much help.

-_- The 10 or 14 count should do it. I think mine is a 7 count and they can see thru it. Trust me on that. I believe the larger sizes, the smaller the holes. Here's one of mine with one on his side.

-_- I got two beautiful ones from them. Lost them both to dropsy from those darn black worms. Stopped feeding black worms, stopped losing fish. In fact I even conditioned my pair on betta bites.

:D There's a big pet store on Jericho Tpke in the New Hyde Park area that might have some. I bought two there a couple months ago.

:) They come in handy. I've used them as hospital tanks, extra tanks and breeding tanks.

-_- What was the live food???

Yes, there's a round corner sponge filter that's going very lightly. They seem to enjoy it and spend time around the sponge itself. This just happened in the past 24 hours. The filter's been in the tank for three plus weeks so I don't think the bubbles are from the filter. Just watched them...

-_- The breeding tank did not have any type of filter or air stone for the first week. I then started using a corner round sponge filter which is currently hooked up and madly working away. They seem to enjoy it and many spend considerable time around it or on it. My problem is getting the...

:unsure: Okay, they have just hit the 4 week old mark. I would like to start giving them new food but the question is what. I tried a bloodworm... everyone just looked at it and went the other way. I tried frozen small brine shrimp... poo poo. I then tried large brine shrimp... they...
