    Default Breeding?

    Hopefully a pair. Marlboro Reds from Hans. Purchased in March 2015 at 2.5". Had some eggs but they became food.

    Of course, the cones are from Barb. Put the cones in about about 2 weeks ago and switched to straight RO water.
    Eggs laid 02/17
    Hatched 2/19
    Free-swimming (mostly) started this morning.

    After the eggs hatched went back to do waterchanges with aged tap water.

    Set up a brine shrimp hatching system last night and should have some brine shrimp eggs today.
    Will try some trial hatches and feed them to my community tank.

    Plan is to start feeding bbs to the fries (that's for John N.) Thursday night, or at 4-5 days free-swimming.

    Thanks, it'll be interesting to see what happens over the next few months.

    Fortunately, I have a 65 gallon all cycled and ready for this batch.

    gott about 20 wigglers from the Reds, not enough to bother with....so down the drain they went to start fresh.

    Here's some shots taken today of the Blue Pigeons(about 12 days free swimming)and some from a pair of Brilliants(7 days free swimming +/-)

    Thanks, the camera skills include a decent camera, lens and a tripod. I have no real skill.
