I read someone say today on another site (maybe monsterfishkeepers...don't remember) that they have bbgs in 1.016, and they're doing quite well. From what I've read, BBGs are low-end, 1.005-1.010. Has anyone had experience keeping them at higher levels? I hate to take them out of the 30g. But I could put them in a 5g for a little while if they need to be kicked out (my hubby just brought home a GSP today.)
Anyway, let me know what you think. There doesn't seem to be anyone around here to give em a good home.

Re: Question 1
GSPs will eventually eat them.

Re: Question 1
Do you think they'll do alright in a 5g until I can find a better home for them? (There are 4 - very young)

Re: Question 1
5g is small for 4 grown bbg's but should be ok for your little guys until they get a bigger home.
