That is awesome. I'm always amazed when a couple of babies show up. "life will find a way" is so true. Something that has helped me in the past is the BBS in a jar from Ocean Nutrition. When it will be a couple of days before you can get some live ones hatched out, and the fry could starve...
Hello Steve. As a habit, I add other fish to my breeding pairs. Mike's post was informative and helped reflect on what I was actually using them for. I think that in my limited experience , the other fishes function as both dithers and targets. Shy pairs seem to be at ease almost immediately...
