Mogurnda Gudgeons

[Dwarfs]

My youngest mogurndas keep spawning, and I decided to hatch the eggs for once
So far, I call this a success

 

[Fella]

Hey that's great news! How did you get them to spawn? Or did they not need any encouragement?

 

[Dwarfs]

I gave them water and food

There are four mogurndas in a 20g long, and two of them keep spawning

 

[DiscusKeeper403]

dont those things get big?

 

[Dwarfs]

If you consider 6" large, then yes

 

[DiscusKeeper403]

ooh i thought they got upto 12inches

That's awesome, Dwarfs!! Congrats on the fry!

Whatcha feeding them? My guess would be that with the plant growth that I see in that tank, there is gonna be plenty of infusoria for them, but they will soon be needing something else!

 

[Dwarfs]

ATM, yes, they are probably eating whatever little things there are moving around in that tank. I will have to find something to feed them in a week or so, before they start eating one another

Congratulations on the spawn.


They will be able to take fresh hatched brine shrimp within a week, within 3 weeks they will start eating the smaller and weaker siblings and chopped bloodworms, within a month they will be able to take adult brine shrimp and whole bloodworms. Morgurndas grow fast and are incredibly greedy, expect only around 1/3 of the spawn to survive, the rest will fall to canabalism.

I'll have to see if I can get baby brine shrimp, I actually want to raise some fish from a spawn for once

Thanks CFC, I hope I can get a decent amount to grow to a good size, if not, the parents will spawn again, and again, and again. The big mogurnda in my avatar is useless for spawning, I rely on my 4 juvies
