Afrikan Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Heya guys... I thought I would just share this quick clip of a young Sajica pair and their little brood at the bottom of the flowerpot... they have at least 30-40 fry... You will see a little brown mass at the bottom of the pot, that is the fry huddled together after coming off the side of the flowerpot walls... My camera video is not the best, we are still due for a camera upgrade.. :roll: The person on the other end of it isn't much better mind you :lol: Please Note: If you have computer speakers on you might want to turn them down, while I was doing a quick little clip my darn cell phone text tone went off in the background :-? :roll: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 .. they are growing like weeds, just goes to show how great brineshrimp is 8) I had heard it mentioned on here that you couldn't feed bbs to cichlids which had me rather confused because my kribs were doing really well on it. Glad to hear it was only a myth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I know of many fishkeepers that feed brine shrimp to their cichlid hatchlings... I have raised young apistos etc on it, they do well.... the sajica are doing great too, they also get other food too, not just being raised on the brine shrimp solely.

Afrikan Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Here is mum looking over some of her babes.. she and her other half are excellent, it is funny... throughout caring for the eggs, she was the one that did all the work, fanning and keeping them clean... he just wasn't interested and she would forever try to get him into the pot to do his share, however with no success.. yet since the babes are out and about he is very attentive... so he's not the deadbeat dad I thought he might end up being :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
