Goldie Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 My bristlenoses have reproduced again and the second lot are going to find it easier to survive now that the clown loaches and gouramis have been moved. Caryl and Grant have taken some photos for me to share here. So cute and so active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie Posted January 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Fifteen plus from the first hatching (they had to survive six clown loaches and two gouramis). The second hatching are swarming and too hard to count...................I keep getting dizzy trying to just guesstimate LOL. They sure zip around the tank fast. The gravel in the tank is mainly dark and so they are also well camouflaged. Believe me- there are a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie Posted January 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 The neons are getting old now - however they do give an indication of the size of the b/n babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie Posted January 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Thanks all. Yes I am thrilled with those little critters and since you are the paternal grandad, so to speak, Bruce the honour of naming them is all yours ROFL Everytime I change the water I have to check that no babies have been swept up. Same with cleaning the filter. They sure are growing fast though so I had better ring some LFS and see if I can arrange for most of them to find new homes.

Ira Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 I'm sure a lot of people would be happy to pay you for them, Goldie, if you don't mind shipping them. I would, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted January 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 ok Ira I must say I am so nervous about shipping fish and have never done it before myself. However I am taking some of the Novembers' hatching up to Blenheim with me and hope to learn how to ship fish while I am there. Sure will keep you posted. Do you wish to adopt a boy or girl You realise that the twins cannot be separated of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Heh, If you manage to tell the difference by then, I'll want 5 of each sex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.L Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 I'd take 2 of each sex (or if you can't tell the difference, I'd take 6). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
