lmsmith Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 The first fish I ever wanted to breed when I started keeping fish 2 years ago was BN. It was really hard to watch everyone posting about how they have heaps of them without trying, and now I finally have babies!!! I'm really excited, the dad was really good with them, and I've got about 30 that I can see, but I guess there's probably another 20 or so hiding out of view. They're all out and about now, and growing really fast. Here's a pic, the plant you can see is duckweed; so you can see how tiny they are!

phoenix44 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 to you i can never keep them alive in my tank for more than 3 days max :lol: its terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmsmith Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I only have a gazillion baby bronze corys and guppies in the tank, so there's nothing big enough to eat them. Although I am concerned about feeding them, they've eaten 3 courgettes a day for the last 3 days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 They can damage delicate leaves with their rasping but the majority are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
