Just curious, how big should they be in order to go to another home? I've gotten some really small DP's before.

i think mine were around 1.5cm when i got them, maybe a bit bigger!! would defo rather let these get quite a bit bigger before they move out tho

they still not even as long as brine shrimp

No, I completely understand, am not trying to hurry you at all, I'd prefer them to be a bit bigger too, I would not want my fish to eat them thinking they are little fishy treats!

yep i think thats exactly how they would b seen by other fish defo lol!!and nope,didnt think u were trying 2 hurry me

i would say that once they get to 1cm, not including tails, then i would be happy for them togo

have just posted this pic in another thread,but illput it here so u can see just how tiny they still are

more updates for any1 who wants 2 know lool

moved the rest of the babies from the tiny tank i had them in at 1st into the bigger tank with the other babies. quite a few have died now

still loads left tho...i put another 62 babies into the bigger tank, so that means at least 70+ with the 1s that was already there

after wc on the adults tank 2nite ive found another 9 eggs, 7 small babies + another quite big baby!! at least a couple weeks old

love the fact that some are surviving in the adult tank

question...i have a tiny little bristlenose in the baby tank at the min, im feeding him algae wafers. will he b ok with the babies, or do u think he will eat or hurt them? will take him out if hes gonna b a risk 2 them:)

I don't believe those Plecs are carnivorous, so I don't think you will have any problems with him being in the tank.

I also think you should be fine

rachy · Post by **rachy** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 5:23 pm

Looky here! rachy, have any of your babies ever done this? It doesn't happen until almost the end.
