cMidd Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 That's the sand I got. He looks GREAT. Hopefully he doesn't pop too soon, let's hold him off for another week! I am excited for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Well, I am hoping he is actually pregnant! I've been looking at other pictures on different boards of people's pregnant H. Erectus, and mine just doesn't look as swollen up as the others. Then again, he is younger and typically the first brood is much smaller, which would make his pouch being small sensible.

Brooks Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Everything looks good guys! BBS hatched by the time that I got home, so I was able to feed the fry. What I THOUGHT was 150+, was around 80. 79 now, as one has died. I will keep a detailed report of how they are doing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooks Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Every "one" is doing well. Today I had a die of... so I THOUGHT! I thought I had about 20-30 die. However, I was sorely mistaken. Luckily after I put the food in there, the ones on the bottom were going crazy after those BBS. Today, I lost 4. The others are full, healthy, and hitching to the fake plants. It looks like a Seahorse tree!! I have a bunch of BBS being enriched right now. Should be ready in the morning for feeding.

Brooks Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 5 lost today. Changed the buckets they were in. Sanitized the other while they are in their current one. I fed the babies some Cyclopees today along with the usual bbs, and I had about 6 or 7 eating the Cyclopees!!!! That is GREAT! I'm currently enriching some 36 hour old brine shrimp. Should be ready for them to eat in the morning. As far as progressing with the big tank, I've got the tank... finally... and I've got the divider siliconed in. Going to get it running tomorrow.

JamesL Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I am losing track of how many tanks you have running. A lot more than the zero you stated out with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
