Frank,

Very cool movie. I have to admit that I didn't realize that potaroensis females got quite that big. Great work.

With pleasure, Ian. It's really quite simple. DV into iMovie, use "Share" menu option and "Save for Web." You're done. It took under 5 minutes. I'm happy to offer any assistance you may require. - Frank

Frank,

I was surprised at the first fish, but that second clip is amazing. If you don't mind my asking, what is your feeding schedule to condition them to that size. I always though potaroensis would be a smaller clutch size, but now I'm wondering how many eggs a female can actually fit.

Thanks,

Larry Vires

Hi Larry,

First meal of the day. High-quality flake food held below the surface for a few seconds, so that it will sink.

#2. Hikari frozen bloodworms.

#3. Sinking earthworm sticks.

#4. High-quality flake food.

#5. Sinking catfish/pl*co wafers.

#6. Live California blackworms.

#7 Sinking spirulina wafers - right before lights out! All gone in the A.M.
