LOL.gif That was a bit of an under handed remark Gareth! tongue.gif

I believe they were from Congo. There is little info on the net about these guys!! dntknw.gif

Chris, IF YOU LOSE ANYMORE FRY OR ADULTS I WILL KILL YOU! And say good bye to even being bumped up the ladder of getting any black occies or pearlies! laugh.gif

You really need to have say a trio in a 2x18 minimum in my opinon. Also, I can give you some brine eggs to start with mate.. you really need to start them off that or micro worms. I find that the brine is much easier and far less stinky! yes.gif

Oh yeah, I keep my fry in a fry saver. Instead of having the mesh glued on the sides etc, I bought foam and cut to size and wedged it in! thumb.gif still allows water flow but I syphon out the crap from time to time!

Well, the second smaller female has just spawned and this time there are about 12 fry! So I will do my best to keep these guys going! They are greedily feeding on frozen brine so things seem to be off to a much better start laugh.gif

I will give it a few days or so and see if I can get em into a saver, how long should I wait to move them? Or will they be ok now?

No offence mate, but I can see that there are now lots of other places to get blacks tongue.gif However, I am definitley going to get some of those pearlies! woot.gif

For tiny fry that pass through normal sized mesh, I use the white material from an old fish net. They can't swim through this. To help with circultion, I drill a hole in the bottom corner and connect up an airstone. You can regulate the bubbles with a tap.
