jude Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 what ate them? should they be in a tank on their own until they get bigger? sounds like expensive fish food to me :lol: Cheers Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickyboi Posted September 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 To have one left? Yeah, well I have discovered another little one! So yay I have two! Didnt think they would become food however I was wrong. What an expensive meal that was!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Convicts at 1cm, make great food. I used to breed convicts to feed my alto's & anything else that looked hungry. 8) The thing is once the babies lasted a couple of days, they just stayed in gaps between rocks & survived. So it tends to be a month later, pull tank apart & take survivors to lfs. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickyboi Posted September 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 yeah the two that survived the unintentional live feeding really are good at hiding, however one has had a couple of chunks taken from his tail, will it grow back or repair or will he have a little piece of fin missing forever??
