morz Posted August 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 in case anyone is interested... the baby is doing well he's about 1cm now by the way, what do i feed him? last time i put in a bit of spirulina but that went bad cuz he didnt eat it... right now i just have plants in there so he can eat the algae..

Ira Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Boil some spinach to soften it up and put that in there for him. I just threw it in a cup of water and put it in the microwave for a minute. Seemed to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Have peas for tea and pop one cooked one out of its shell and feed that to the bristlenose. Or a piece of cucumber (no need to cook it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morz Posted August 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 thanks he's now about 1.2cm :lol: oh, the hard thing about only having 1 baby surviving is the feeding.. if i put anything in there he doesnt really see it.. thus he doesnt eat it.. and it goes bad.. so i've given up giving him food... inside the breeding trap, i just have a tiny bit of driftwood and lots of plants with algae on it.. seems to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 thats why i use jbl pleco chips because you can keep it in for 24 hrs then just get some air tubing and suck it out , thats how i clean the bottom of there breeding boxes .
