TheSwissAquarist Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Nice! I've already started digging a pond for a couple in spring! It's going to be about 60 gallons. Would that be a good size? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why the first one didn’t show the other day. There is just something so cool about seeing them at different ages but especially when fry are in that “dust speck with eyeballs” stage. Love it! 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine took a dump in the hole I dug for a 40 gal rainbow shiner pond for absolutely no reason whatsoever! Now she's trying to chew a hole in my sock for the millionth time!

Plus, if eggs are hatching, it will be brimming! I lifted the glass top up to feed the main tank (29 gal) and found a few shiver fry tucked up high among the Valisneria… If the breeders don't go to the top & the fry have enough cover to hide in wouldn't they survive till they got big enough ?

MAC Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 @Fish FolkI gotta thank you for your work on this topic. I've been following it for awhile and was able to implement some of the methods you learned through your own trial and error. I didn't want to celebrate too early but I think now I can safely say my first spawn of shiners are looking great! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
