wow thanks all! I'm really looking forward to trying to get these lil guys to grow even more now! I did my first cull today. was very hard but I had to repeatedly tell myself it was for the greater good.
i'm going to try to think of a way to do that brine shrimp drip but space is so limited for these little "piggies"
inside my home.
I would love to eventually learn how to strip fish of their eggs and milt. sometimes i feel natural spawns are too damaging - granted so is stripping if done incorrectly. but it breaks my heart to see that my poor mama has lost many scales and looks like it is developing into an ulcer all from spawning! no fear - we are currently treating her! however i'd rather strip the most beautiful females instead of having them bashed in losing scales and becoming prone to bacteria and ulcers. thoughts? or am i just being demanding of my fish for babies due to wanting to hopefully raise some beautiful fry...
