One saturday night they decided to have a square dance. Here's the caller and some of the dancers:

It is hard to capture fish dances in a photo, but I tried:

How many do you have left? I tried the first time already but the eggs had already hatched before I even looked and I wound up only catching six, none made it. The next hatch looks like it will be on Saturday night so we will try again. I got this dry fish food from Mike Reed and he says it works so I plan on giving it a few more tries and see if it does. On the bag it says 100-200 microns.

 

[Kathy55g]

I have 15 juveniles left. Good luck with the dry food. I have heard that it is difficult to get many thru on dry alone. Hope you are lucky!

good luck to everyone, and mako56 if you're able to raise those babies I'd love to buy one or two!

mako56,

Document your process here please, so that we can all learn and experience with you as you go.

Kathy,

Your clowns look magnificant. Fancy shipping one to the other side of the world?

How is your breeding setup going?

Steve

 

[Kathy55g]

Thanks, Steve!
As far as shipping goes, the demand in my town is high enough that I don't think I will have have to ship anywhere, and I love 'em too much to risk a long air flight, even for you...good friend that you have been to me.

How is your set up going? how are your new fish?
Cheers,
Kathy

 

[mako56]

No problem Jess. I wonder if you could have two from the same brood?

Will do Steve I will get it sooner or later they lay eggs every two or three weeks so if I keep trying different things it should work.

And Kathy ya I will give it a try or two. I already got some jugs to do the rots thing but I never did that either so I will need to figure out how that works too. Thanks for the luck.

kmleah, you have some great looking babies and I really enjoyed following the thread, Thanks, Mike

 

[SEA YOU LATER]

Good luck to you mako56.

 

[Kathy55g]

Hey Mike, thanks for the nice words and I'm glad you enjoyed the reading. I've had fun with it, too.

Cheers,
Kathy

 

[SEA YOU LATER]

Your welcome kmleah. When's the next hatch due?

 

[Kathy55g]

I am expecting an email from Brad any day now, and I'm really excited! It has been a long time since I have had eggs and larvae in the house, and I think I'm ready to try it again. In a couple of months I will have to lay off raising fishes because we are planning a trip to Italy for 9 days, so this may be my last chance before spring.

 

[SEA YOU LATER]

I'll go ahead and wish you luck and I'll follow your post when you get the eggs. Mike

Kathy,

You are coming to Italy. Cool. Cannot wait for the next set of posts from you.

Thanks

Steve

 

[mako56]

Hey Kathy just wanted to ask before I barge in any more on your post if its ok to post my stuff here or would you rather have me start another one?

 

[Kathy55g]

I don't mind at all if you want to add to this thread. However, you may wish to start your own thread so it will draw more attention to your posts.

It's all the same to me. I am always here.

Cheers,
Kathy

Thanks, mostly it seems my threads get ignored :rolleye1: I think I will get more input here.
