Brine shrimp? Easy peasy for a 6 year old.Did you know this? A question for all fish keepers and breeders.?

admin — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 00:34:17 +0000

I have been to loads of fish shops in search of live food for my breeding of betta splendens, but it seemed that they only stocked them on a very random basis.I replaced live food with boiled earthworm cut up very finely (it works great), but i went to all the hassle of finding or digging them up , scalding them with water , cutting them with a scissors and freezing them for later…. and being always told by my fiancee that I was disgusting. One day my 6 year old daughter returned from a toy shop down the road with “sea monkeys”? I never heard of them either, on close inspection they turned out to be brine shrimp that a child could harvest and keep them for a guaranteed 2 years, they multiply or breed or whatever readily…..I couldnt believe it, happy days, so its the toy shop for pet food and pet shop for pet toys ( i have dogs too).

How big do Sea Monkeys get?

freshwater eels?

admin — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 00:39:01 +0000

I was just given a fish tank today with some goldfish and some eels. The eels are about 7 inches long and are about 3/4 inch tall. They are brown and their tail fins are broad. I know for a fact that they aren’t tire tracks or spiny eels. They also have whiskers (six that go around their mouth) and they sometimes suck on the side of the tank. They are moderately aggressive when fed brine shrimp, but for the most part are mild mannered and stick together.

Any ideas of what they may be?

Thanks!!
