New Pair

[New_b0401]

I was lucky enough to purchase a pair from the one and only Mugwump at the swap yesterday they are settling in nicely  Just thought I'd share and keep everyone updated with this thread and of course ask lots of questions as always 

[Mugwump]

They're looking good in there...checking out the slate already too.....feed em some bloodworms to bulk em up a bit for your first spawn with them.....they just might get the parent raising down for you.......

[LizStreithorst]

You sure do have the long fins.

[Mugwump]

You sure do have the long fins.

Aren't they nice....and very full, strong, and erect......

Pretty angels.  Have fun with them.

I will Pauline! These pics were from them being in the tank for a little under an hour they have really brightened up today! Was worried that a 20 H would be to small for them, but they look like they're doing great 

[Mugwump]

Practice your bbs hatching......

[New_b0401]

Definitely need to do that lol....  LOVE the hatcheries I got from you! Freeze dried bloodworms will work right? Or should I be getting something else?

[Mugwump]

I guess you could soak em in a little tank water and try them??.....let em lay on the bottom for a bit too....they might forage on them?.....Liz does that with red worms....I do too occasionally....but I use frozen....I hate those little 'jelly' cubes of them...LOL....I can get a 1lb slab of bw's for about $6 at the GCCA swap....

I'll get some frozen Mine aren't jelly like though they're Omega One Freeze Dried bloodworms They picked at them a little(:

This is random and may be a dumb question, but I was looking for slate at Lowes the other day and there's soooo many different textures that I wasn't sure what to get??  Do you use smooth or semi-rough etc. May a close up picture so I can see the texture? I have a SUPER smooth piece in and a 'natural' piece maybe it'll be a good experiment   Both pairs are currently cleaning my pinoy zebraXblue clown pair for then the HE's but they are definitely looking

the smooth is fine.....some folks even make a PVC tower type piece for them to spawn on...that works well too...or....jump up to our sponsor 'Delightful Designs'....Barb makes the best cones anywhere....I use those too, as does Liz and many others....
