I gave 2 away (as a pair, they were one male one female) and kept the best 4 and spread them across my aquariums. -------------------- Fishpondinfo Chat Room Current Tanks and Ponds: Community Tanks: 30 gal, 2x 60 gal.

One of the babies has died a couple of days ago

he wasn't swimming right and then stopped eating. The other one is doing great tho! The water stats have been and are perfect so don't know why he passed away poor little thing

guess it's survival of the fittest and all that.

Hi colourfulfish
You either have to cull them yourself or leave nature to do her own, we believe that Mother Natures way is always better than man's

Man can miss something

Mother Nature dosen't because she takes everything into consideration not just looks.

Feeding ok and seem lively enough for the time being. Time will tell won't it. -------------------- http://xat.com/FishPondInfo
