LOL thanks guys, they are still on a mixture of first bites and powdered bloodworm, also this week introduced microworms which I hope will help them grow faster Wink

by **Netty** on Mon Dec 21, 2009 2:45 pm

They'll enjoy the microworms. We used to feed that to our babies too last year [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Well they are thriving, the two pygmy fry really look like mini fish now from certain angles! The other two are doing good too

You'll be a pro in no time Amy. You'll soon have a long waiting list for these little guys [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Sorry havent been about much guys thought you might like a update as to the two sole caudimaculatus fry, they are 6 weeks now
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Ended up losing the pygmy fry and out of the 13 pygmies have 6 left as there is a really weird epidemic going on with them that I have been battling the last week or so. It seems species only or contained as none of the other cories or fish are affected. Hoping my two little frylets above make it as they are doing well so far.

Look at them growing. They're looking more and more like proper little fishies [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

How old are they now?

by **lilacamy931** on Thu Jan 28, 2010 6:17 am

Lets see they were born..19 Dec 2009 so almost 6 weeks, one is massive compared to the other and they are sweet as they are starting to get proper energy and hyperactive when feeding. xx

by **lilacamy931** on Mon Feb 01, 2010 7:17 pm

They have had a growth spurt:

What food are they on at the moment?

by **Rezz** on Mon Feb 01, 2010 8:41 pm

Aww, aren't they fantastic? *want* Well done with these little guys :D

by **lilacamy931** on Mon Feb 01, 2010 9:08 pm

Thanks so much guys a solid 6 weeks now (maybe bit more) so anxious they make it as grown really really attached, they are on crushed bloodworm and powdered algae stuff with first bites still and microworms as one isnt as big as the other and anxious they get the right sized food!

by **lilacamy931** on Sun Feb 14, 2010 12:58 pm

Mini update. It was the frylets 8 week birthday yesterday so moved them to the mansion of all breeding tanks, keeping them in the parents tank water and hoping this will give them more growing room, hopefully a good move thumbup

Also by accident found a solo egg today

by **aly_starh** on Sun Feb 14, 2010 2:25 pm

by **Netty** on Mon Feb 15, 2010 8:23 pm
