baby blue tailed goodeids
11/23/09 at 7:41pm
 
The blue tailed goodeids I bought from Ken King at the swap popped some babies today.  I am surprised at how big they are!  Are they able to eat flake right away or should I start them on baby brine?  I fed both today but the tank is so densely planted I couldn't see them feed.

They can eat anything.  Crush the flake a bit though.

Any idea how cannibalistic these fish are?  I could only find 3 today although I suspect there are a few more hiding in the plants.  I could have sworn I saw 6 or 7 the first day I noticed them.
 
I pulled out the three I saw just in case.

I didn't have any cannibalism problems when I was keeping them.  Had one jump out occasionally.

Thanks.  I did manage to pull 5 of them out of the plants and move them to another tank just in case.  The bad news is that two of them have deformed tail fins and I am going to cull them out.  I guess I will have to wait for the next brood.

Andy,
 
Do you have more of these?  Will they be in the auction?  I bought one of your BAP/donation bags, but it looks like three of them disappeared.  I would like to get a few more to spawn and BAP.

I have a ton more.  Plus the adults.  They will be going in the auction as I am done with them.
