luckyfish Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hi guys, i'm really excited. :bounce: My GBAs just bred! I've never bred GBA before. So what do I feed the babies?

firefish Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Firstly congrats on the breeding I feed courgette mainly but also supplement it with simking tablets which i feed to the adults. But remember to only feed after their egg sack disappears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmsmith Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 That's awesome!!!! They're pretty hardy, I feed them courgette and other veges, and also put in normal sinking pellets and shrimp pellets for them. Once you get them to 30 days, you're pretty much good to go!

A-town... Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 yea courgette is best I use to boil mine for the young so it was a bit more mushy and easyier for them to eat. make sure there is driftwood for them also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on your success with the fish and commiserations with the bad luck with the boss. If you can, keep the fish and ditch the job and find one where you are happy.

SamH Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 If GBA's are anything like regular BN's then they will love cucumber, although it tends to go bad after about a day. Mine don't like JBL novoplec sinking tablets but the adults do. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
