Re: BNs spawned

by **kizno1** on Tue May 18, 2010 6:31 pm

They have been eating really well they are eating boiled spinage and microwaves courgett. ive also tryied lettice, cucumber and peas but they seem to prefer spinage and courgett. im replacing it every 12 hours so it doesnt mess up the water. there about 1.5cm now including tail. Ill try and get some pics soon.

Look like happy wee babies Kiz!

Yh only need to grown 1cm more and a few lfs are going to take them off me for about £1 each. that courgette was put in there last night and all that was left before i took it out a few hours ago was the skin. their shredding what ever goes in the tank. Theres about 100. Im trying to get a albino longfin bn for the 30G and a trio or pair of chocolate zebra plecs, clown plecs, or starlight bns to try breeding in the 21G.

There between 1.5 and 2.5 cm now so theres a few that are almost ready to sell. Im pretty sure there going to spawn again soon the male has been clearing out caves for the last few days.

by **kizno1** on Sun Jun 06, 2010 10:08 am

The parents spawned again. there must be between 150 and 200 eggs they cover half the cave.

Ahhh!

Lol, good luck selling all the fry!

by **kizno1** on Sun Jun 06, 2010 10:37 am

One of my lfs are going to take 25- 50 off me for £2 each. I might just leave this lot to survive in the tank or im going to get overrun with fry.

by **aly_starh** on Sun Jun 06, 2010 11:47 am

Oooohhh, thats a good profit! Smile

by **kizno1** on Sun Jun 06, 2010 11:59 am

Yh and all ive had to spend money one is courgette and spinage ive only spent about £8 rasing them so far and they will be redy to sell in another 2-4 weeks. im trying to get my lfs to swap 10 of my normal bns for 5 starlight ones which are worth alot more or some albino longfins.

I tryed to get some pics of the male guarding the eggs but hes laid them in a different spot thats blocked by some wood so its to dark to get pics of.

by **kizno1** on Tue Jun 08, 2010 6:21 pm

Its not going to good i have lost 30 in the last few days and i really dont have a clue why. Atleast the eggs are doing well the male is guarding them well and hant stopped fanning them for a second.

by **kizno1** on Tue Jun 08, 2010 6:44 pm

Just found another dead one> i really dont know why they are dieing there are no signs of illness att all. I cant believe this i havent lost any up till now and most are just about the size i can sell them and now they start dieing.

by **Irish_Lass** on Tue Jun 08, 2010 7:37 pm

Aw Kiz, that sucks. *hugs*

by **kizno1** on Tue Jun 08, 2010 7:48 pm

Thanks. Im going to try splitting them up. All the ones that have died have been the smaller ones so i think thy might be getting bullied out of food by the bigger ones. Its pretty c*** though ive lost 32 now in the last 2 days.

by **kizno1** on Wed Jun 09, 2010 4:50 pm

Ive now lost about 38

by **kizno1** on Wed Jun 09, 2010 9:01 pm

by **kizno1** on Thu Jun 10, 2010 5:28 pm
