Breeding |
Behaviour | This is actually the 2nd spawn. I don't know why I'm only getting 2-3 fry/spawn, but it's still very exciting!
I also feed them salad shrimp weekly. I've occasionally given them zuchinni as a supplimental treat, but both spawns have followed zuchinni, so I'm feeding it regularly now. |
