Tsarmina Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Last year we bought 6 WCMM's. in September i got a container full of Convicts, so the wcmm's got evicted from their tank and put outside in a bathtub. a little while later we were down to 5. in December i noticed fry in the tub. last month we got given 1 more adult, bringing them back up to 6. today we emptied the bath and, along with the 6 adults, there were 54 young minnows they are temporarily in a 3ft tank (looks so cool), till we get the tub scrubbed and de-slimed :roll: 1 of the young has a bent spine, so it is currently residing, with a few guppy fry, in the turtle tank. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxglove Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Yeeha! :bounce: :bounce: Go the white clouds! Sounds like them in my pond: I bought 12, lost about half, but they've multiplied up to a whole bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Awesome to hear Tsarmina! I just got some WCMM today, they're living in a paddling pool in the back yard with a bunch of java moss - I'm hoping they'll behave like yours did One of mine's got a bent spine too, I considered culling him but couldn't bring myself to do it, after all he'll probably grow up with a great personality right?

alanmin4304 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 When they are young they look like baby neons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Oh.. that is where that one went to. I was calling him Jag for a while (short for Jag food :lol: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextret Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I wonder if it is possible to breed them "out of season". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 There's a season for it? lol. In my past experience with wcmm's, it's harder to stop them breeding than it is to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
