Here’s a video showing how they layer in those leaves like bees in a hive… There’s so many of them !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) I’m so excited things are going great. My first batch of these I allowed to stay in Mom n Dads tank I thought I had lost most of them until I moved an almond leaf. It startled me to find them all under the leaves. As soon as the yolk absorbed I introduce boiled kale and they begin hanging on it. They dislike light for a week or two. After they actually take the shape of a mini bn pleco I introduce veggies. They usually find blanched green beans first. I open them so meat is exposed and remove the seeds. (I lost 1 that looked as if it swallowed a seed that got stuck so I’m paranoid now) Laying it under the almond leaves they begin eating much sooner than if I lay it in the open. Im partial but to me there is nothing as cute as baby lemons and their big eyes staring right at you 🥰 Edited November 18, 2022 by Guppysnail 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 Enjoy this! BNP fry update, with loud Human fry… I feel it necessary to assure you that no Humans (or BNPs) were harmed in the foregoing footage 😂 Now, sans Human fry, here is how I’m feeding the BNP fry… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Very clever @Fish Folk. They sure are cute little guys. 😍 I’m glad for the disclosure also because it sounded like a human fry was being murdered 🤣 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dabbled in electric guitar for awhile. Was fun but more interested in wind/brass. Went back to college recently for another degree, took a semester of concert band for a voluntary elective, just for ol times sake. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the music once, placed my hands on the keys, and then LOL NOPE!

Guppysnail Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 That’s amazing. 40+ is a lot. More than I was expecting. How 🤩 awesome. After the holidays I’m going to start shipping these and contacting anyone who was interested in the egg clutches to prearrange things since they hatch at the three day mark. I can’t thank you enough for all your effort to help me test this. I’m thrilled you have a large healthy starting group to reward all you have done. 🤗 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
