I GOT BABIES TO Born last night
Only saved six tho as the male was eating them as they where coming out
I thought she still had a awhile to go so I didn't bother putting her in a breeding tank
I now have the babies in it in another tank tho.
Wasn't setup up and ready for them but oh well.
Wasn't trying to breed them.
I put them into the tank to start cycling it so I can use it for some fish I should be getting in a month or two
But they have breed and are still at it in the other tank :lol:
I have named them my crazy fish
I am really starting to like them it's just taking time to get use to the Nipping
I have to do a water change tomorrow. Arghhhhh
Well I am not food
Never been Nipped by a fish until I put my hand in the tank to do a clean :-?
Not trying to breed them they ARE just breeding.
I did a buy now on some other fish but we got the Rosy barbs was a mix up and my other half didn't know :roll:
Got them home e-mailed the guy but the time didn't suit to go pick up the fish I wanted
Since then we haven't had a e-mail back from him.
They also ate one of my platys and they have now eaten a guppy
I did read they where friendly with other fish.?
I gave two away this morning but my other half wants me to keep the 4 we have
That sounds like a cool thing to do
but I won't be able to do it
We have the dinning room table in there and it's huge so we can't move it,
Also I don't know what the landlord would think of us doing that :-?
I read about them when I first got them
Everyone knows I don't like them and why.
I have given two away this morning
I think they are starting to grow on me but I have a problem cleaning the tank as they keep nipping me and it scares the daylights out of me :roll:
Have taken the Mother and father out now.
Have undergravel filter so will check to see in the morning
I am trying to find a picture of what the babies look like when they are on the glass but I can't seem to find one.
My rosy barb male has been chucking the female against the lil plants I have in the tank
I know this is a sign of them breeding but NOW what.?
Will I see the eggs.?
I know to take them out of tank once they are done and the fry stick to the glass but then what :-? :-? :-? :-? :-? :-?
Na we got a HRV so it doesn't to cold in the room
Might wait to summer really kicks in then see how hot the room gets.
So it could take me a year
I guess that will be a good thing Gives a year to sort out all the crap in the room :oops:
