    Thanks William, this is my first group of Concinnus and they were so small, I was sort of worried I was going to have trouble getting them to eat for me.

    Are you sure "he" isn't Shannon? Sounds like Shannon to me. She just posted pics of them on facebook. They're pretty big, males only.

    Small? compared to what? Those are pretty decent size for 2 month old concinnus'. They've grown noticably since birth. You should see the baby northwesterns. They're half that size, if not smaller.

    All the ones I've shipped out eat consistently, and have even grown a noticable amount. Any that don't fit that catagory are separated until they do, or are determined to be "failure to thrive" babies. I didn't even put up the ad until they were a month old. That gives me the time needed to determine which ones are which, and gets them a good start before shipping.

    Some breeders (I won't mention names) sell them before they are even born, then ship as soon as they take a single meal. Unfortunately, that first meal is live tiny fish so there's no guarantee they will eat anything else. I like to make sure they accept all the widely available stuff. Worms, fish fillet, pinky parts, etc., and make sure they eat consistently over at least a few weeks.

    When you can't do "unconditional" 7-day guarantees like unnamed breeders, (I only guarantee they will arrive alive and good shape. I won't necessarily have your money after delivery day) you got to do something to ensure the babies shipped out are doing well ahead of time. I assume people will try to feed them in that 7 days. I want to ensure they will eat just about anything for anyone and so, you at least have my word, all babies shipped out are feeding well. Not just once, but many times consistently.

    For concinnus' "feeding well" means aggressively attacking the food and getting into fights.
