Good observation Wally...I still have some hets with the redspotted dorsal
fin if folks are interested...I will be cleaning all mey tanks and ponds in the
next few months in preparation of a prosective move and will have fishes for
serious breeders as it has been a good year fish wise :)
Just wanted to pass on an observation, If you
are keeping Heterandria formosa AKA "Least Killiefish" try feeding them
microworms. About a week or so ago I put some microworms in with mine and they
ate them up. Since them, I have been feeding microworms in the morning and
their normal powdered flake at night. They are showing colors that they
have never shown me before. Its quite amazing. The females seem to be having
more babies as well, but that is hard to tell since they seem to have a bunch
for about a week or so then slowdown for a while. I don't know why I am
all that surprised since I have seen other species do much better with live
food in the past. But then again I am the guy who gets his Rainbow and
Greenside Darters to eat flake foods, and sinking catfish
pellets.
