Baby macs

I have found a total of seven little mac fry in the tank.They are on a diet of fresh bbs.I am trying to add some of the golden pearls as the breeder of my male said he was started on this.I also have microworms on the way as well as getting my grindals going strong and some daphnia magna too.

Pics of the little buggers:
 This was about two days after release.

You can clearly see how different they are six days later.More pics to come eventually!

Out of devastation emerges new life

Sorry for the lack of posting,I've been so busy trying to keep things running smoothly that I've been negligent.

A few weeks back I lost one of the kracken,or as many know them the Pi.Im still not sure what happened other than the possibility that the black rasboras passed something on to them as I lost all of those as well.This in turn affected Bertha who them got Manfish sick.

Take this as a lesson to proper quarantine any new arrivals because anything can happen.This is the biggest loss I have suffered in many years and I am still heart broken over losing two of the babies I have raised for the past two years.

Yet as they say,there is silver lining to all storm clouds.My other male macrostoma decided he wanted to hold!I have found one little baby who is now in a breeder to ensure he eats well,and there was another in te tank though I cant find him now.One or to little fry is a large step as he now knows what to do!

Without further ado,here is one of the little fry!


He will be raised up on BBS and a mix of golden pearls and Ocean Nutrition flakes.
