Where did you buy decapsulated BBS eggs? I've heard about them but I've always used newly hatched BBS. I've just recently tried microworms and they can get pretty messy but are so tiny that you've got food right from the get go for your babies. Lemme know if you need a culture nextime you wanna try some.

I want my babies to have only the best LOL

Decapsulated BBS eggs I got from VisionQuest http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sw...ods-added.html
Most of the food on that list are from her, you won't be sorry if you order some, she got some nice selection.

I will definitely let you know about culture if I can't find any, thanks

LOOK, funkyfish!!!! I tried your method of putting a few females to one male in a separate tank and removed them a few days ago. I am counting 7 so far, it appears they laid in batches as well. Some are still on the glass while others are free swimming! Thanks for your help.

**speedie408** · 10-12-2009, 09:57 PM

Great inspiration from you both. Now if I can only find room for another tank.

**funkyfish** · 10-13-2009, 03:23 AM

OMG YAY I'm so excited for you

LOL
And you are very welcome, I'm just so excited it worked for you

You got very nice pictures of them I couldn't get a decent picture of them no matter what I tried, but they looked excactly like that. I wonder how much you have in total

sewingalot · 10-13-2009, 04:00 AM

I got the pictures right after turning on the light. They were still sleepy.

**funkyfish** · 10-13-2009, 09:41 AM

Hahaha nice. And I wanna see more LOL

very cool

**Karackle** · 10-13-2009, 05:40 PM

SewingAlot - VERY COOL! congratulations!

I might have to try this once I move!

I was planning on separating out my CPDs anyway and putting them in the 10g, I suppose I could use the 5g as the nursery!

Kara, the key to funkyfish's successful CPD breeding program is to place the fish in a breeding tank for a while and move them within a short period.

I only count 7 fry at the moment, but I am hoping next time will be more successful. Funky - how long did you leave the fish in the tank?

I kept them there for 2 weeks. I know they started laying eggs a day or two before I removed them from breeding tank, the first fry I found couldn't have been more than a day old.

I'll have to to try get a picture of my one remaining of four fry from earlier this summer before trying your method. Her colors aren't very bright yet, more orangish yellow than red. I wonder if they get darker with maturity?

Here is my picture she was born late June:

In case you were wondering - that is the annoying UG floating in the background. It won't stay rooted!

**Karackle** · 10-15-2009, 05:52 AM

Aww she's pretty! They grow pretty fast huh? Fish amaze me like that. But yes I bed she will color up more as she gets older.

But yeah, I was thinking when I move i'll move my CPDs and maybe a few other inhabitants to my 10g tank, and then maybe i'll use my 5g as the breeding / grow out tank

sewingalot · 10-16-2009, 04:28 AM

She is around 1/2 inch now. It's cute seeing her next to the adults.

**Karackle** · 10-16-2009, 05:00 AM

heeheehee that's awesome! It's also awesome that some managed to survive in the group tank, must be lots of hiding places and well fed fishies!!!
