You got them cheap 'cause I was being nice near the end of the auction ;-). I've kept them in the past and they were'nt fussy so I suspect they are either spoiled or just transitioning. The Apanius I picked up, from the same sourse, were slow to take bbs but are doing so with gusto now. I would also advise spirulina flake when they decide that they are hungry. They are very similar in their breeding to Aphanius species, mop spawners, not small fry, basically fairly easy. 
Good luck, Russ

Hey Yall,ÂÂAnyone got any ideas as to what these things eat?ÂÂWhat they don't eat for me. Black worms, bbs, FBS, daphnia, FBWÂÂSo far I can only get them to take Mosquito larvae. This tends to be rather problematic most of the year. Does anyone know if this is typical for the species or am I just dealing with spoiled rotten fish?ÂÂAny suggestions as to breeding I would love to listen! I picked up the pair at the AKA national for $10 a steal at 10X's the price for a critically endangered species. NO ONE ELSE EVEN BID ON THEM.ÂÂCurrently have them in:ÂHard water 550ppm.Â(1/2tsp NaCl and 1/4tsp MgSO4)/ gal.Â70-72FÂ14 hours of daylightÂSome java moss and Najas.ÂA floating and bottom mop.ÂÂI know they require a cold winter and short photoperiod in winter.ÂÂAny suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Would just love to get them going well and distribute them all over the place.ÂÂNICE little fish.ÂÂGod Bless, Lee <><ÂÂ_________________________________________________________________ÂPlay games, earn tickets, get cool prizes.
