Joe Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Wow those are nice! I like the colourful fins with the standard body colouration :thup: Way nicer than the golden minnows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 my gold minnows are pretty :tears: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 In your opinion. Most colour mutations of fish I don't like (same with pretty much any animal too). There are a few though that I do like, but golden minnows aren't one of them. With most fish I prefer the natural/wild colour forms. I like blueether's fish because they still have the basic colouration but it is kind of cool how they have orange fin tips. Remember this is just my opinion. I'm not saying that golden minnows are a horrible grose fish and that nobody should keep them, because that is just stupid and immature. You are entitled to your opinion and if you like them and they bring you pleasure then that's great :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I have lost the two males with the darkest fins in the last week &c:ry Put them in a separate tank to breed, just a male and a female, and two days latter no male. Add another of the dark fin males and again gone by the next day. All that I can think of is that they went through the 1000l/h pump that returns water to the tank above. Bottom tank is almost like a sump to the planted tank above that I'm going to try and get shrimp to breed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 oh no! Mine still haven't made any fry. I thought to mix some WCMM with the golds but if the golds eat their young still none will survive. Caserole, do you have an egg catcher to seperate the eggs from the adults? If not how are you getting eggs hatched? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Yes I use a trap as pictured in your mini fish thread. The adults are removed after 7 to 10 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 hmmm right then that is what I will do tomorrow. I thought I could leave them au naturel but I'm sick of waiting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
