Awesome video btw! Wow!

Frankie, you may step ahead of me in line. I can be a gentleman, too!

Awwww... Barb is such a gentle lady

Frankie · 06-12-2008, 10:22 PM

That very lady like of you Barb XXOO

I was kidding around though. Let's let the poor girl get some babies raised first before stressing her out over who gets what. (Then i'll sneak in my dated post

)

Wait, now that you're a mod can you falsify post dates?

ASH · 06-12-2008, 10:50 PM

Wow Doni how exciting is this?!?!?! Great job!!!! I wish you the most luck with your babies....

You know you are totally my idol right LOL!!!!

Frankie · 06-12-2008, 10:51 PM

This is a great information thread Doni. I will be using this for breeding my clowns one day. Thanks!

lol... reminds me of kids elbowing each other behind their parents' backs!

Doni, you just tune us hooligans out, we'll be busy shoving each other around while you're raising some beautiful little babies.

I'm getting too excited. I keep losing this thread and don't want to miss out! I don't get to have any babies, so I have to live vicariously through you!

Well, my attempt at raising #II failed.

Yesterday I pulled the eggs 1 day early because they had already begun to hatch (so much for the eight day mark) the night before and most were already gone.

I successfully got them into the nursery tank with heater, gentle airstone and it was completely blacked out for about 2 hours. All but maybe a dozen hatched (they turned white) so I had about 75 or so swimming around.
I added seived rotifers and some phyto plankton.. then added more phyto plankton. They were eating very well at first but about an hour later began twirling around and all eventually died.

I THINK I messed up with the very high PH of the live phyto and the mass quantities of rotifers that demanded a lot of oxygen.

You can see their silver bellies filled with rotifers so I know they were eating well.
Tiny little buggers aren't they!

Gina · 06-16-2008, 01:10 PM

Gosh darnit Doni! I'm very sorry they didn't make it.

lcstorc · 06-16-2008, 01:24 PM

So sorry to hear.
You learn something new everytime so you will be successful soon.

Woodstock · 06-16-2008, 01:32 PM

I've read that there will be significant losses at first but I was still hoping for the best.
I'm learning though

Cassette87 · 06-16-2008, 01:40 PM

Sorry to hear doni

Next time they will be little artists!

Woodstock · 06-16-2008, 01:51 PM

Lol!

Craig Manoukian · 06-16-2008, 01:55 PM

Interesting , eh Doni? No overfeeding, but over use of oxygen. Would adding oxygen compensate for the depletion of live rotifers and phyto?
