They may be experimenting with or implementing new rules. You never know around here!

I think there's a forum for issues. Check it out and post there.

You may want to try putting some copepods in there as well to help supplement the brine.

Got the Seahorse!

Got the Seahorse!

Update: I got the dwarfs today!

Total: 8! Still living 8 :bounce2:

I got the shipment today guys. They are very cute but are smaller then i expected haha.
So far, everyone seems to be doing very well, i have some swimming around the whole tank, idk if thats good or not.

I didnt have any brine shrimp hatched YET, i put them a few hrs ago. I was worried. I found pack of frozen cyclops and gave it a try. They all seem to like it.. idk why, but they ate it. *prolly cuz they were starving*. I noticed every one of them ate the cyclops.

I have a pregnant male which is swimming around in the tank, is this a good sign?

Lets do a count down on how long i can last these

guys, is it bad if they are hanging upside down? They do move back up but i see some hanging upside down

 

[Kingumar]

They are all still alive this morning. Survived the night

i have 2 pregnant males, idk when they will give birth.

Congrats!!!! They are too cute!!

Yes they always hang upside down. Mine will eat upside down a lot of the time.
Your pregnant male looks like he is ready to burst!!!!

Good luck, you are going to love them!!!

 

[Kingumar]

haha yup! i love them

I still managed to keep them all alive.. or they managed to stay alive in my tank lol..

the male is even bigger, still no babies yet! How often do they reproduce?

How big are the babies? I can hardly see the ponies lol.

 

[VanLI14]

The babies are teeny tiny, smaller than the head of the adults, so definitely make sure that all intakes are covered and there are no areas in the tank where they can get stuck or sucked into.
Oh and they eat alot....a whole lot.....
They can reproduce pretty frequently, but it all varies dwarf to dwarf. My new ones haven't mated at all yet, while my old herd bred all the time.
