Today was a good day at my house. My last 3 subborn baby radix finally ate some worm pieces. In the last 3 months I have spent a lot of money on guppies, since this was all they would eat. Not worms, not salmon,not pinky parts. I couldn't even trick them, until today. You see, I had given up and resigned myself to the fact that these little ones where going to break the Radix food budget.
I once again chopped-up my $4.50 worth of guppies with some worm pieces. Thinking they would again pick out the guppy parts and leave the rest. I was wrong. They became normal today. They are much smaller than there siblings. Way behind on the size scale. Guess they will just have to stay with me. I'm a happy dad!
*Life is good*

Me to, James.
My kids were getting upset that we haven't gone out to eat in awhile.

Awww... nice job Steve! :)

You know, setting up an aquarium for guppies is a bit of a pain, but it's cheap and enjoyable once you get everything going... I must have close to 100 guppies from my original 5. Only a few are getting close to feeding size, but in the next month or two I should be able to start feeding them to the snakes on a regular basis. As of this weekend we're now on our second round of fry drops :eek::cool:
