Hey everyone,

Well, my girl gave birth for the third time on November 8. This time there were 45 babies (the number keeps on getting bigger lol). 12 albinos and 33 normals, 2 did not make it again.

I've already sold a few, but I'm worried its too many this time. If anyone in the GTA is interested, shoot me a PM or post in this thread.

Personally I would seperate them, giving birth three times in just over a year is really rough on a female.

I would take some again, all the ones you gave me before are still doing great. I just don't know when I can get down to Toronto.

[Zdravko092368]

Just PM me your number. I can't find it from before lol

Congrats on the scrubs! But yeah, give them a break from breeding. Both of them .

Most of them have been eating cut up nightcrawlers. However, I still have a few who just don't seem interested. Its easy to spot them, they are much smaller than the ones who have been consistently eating. Any tips to get these guys to start eating?

Here's what usually works for me.

. Another strategy is to put the cut up nightcrawlers mixed with cut up f/t silversides (smelt) really small pieces into a shallow dish in a enclosure set up specifically for your problem feeders. Keep in mind that a live guppy feeding is certainly more enticing to a problem feeder as Steve has illustrated. The movement in the cut up nightcrawlers will also be a trigger for them to feed.

It's also the scent of the smelt coupled with the wriggling cut nightcrawler that helps the feeding response..Good luck.
