Added one of the little ones to his parent's tank and the first thing mom did was trying to kill him. But he is quicke and small so he escaped. The next day I found him hiding out in one of the Marine Bettas' favorite spots:

Two of the little ones surviving in the tank of their parents (who are the greatest threat to the little ones):





And it's time to get serious: this is the Larvae Tank set-up for raising nest #27:

17 gallon tub from Lowe's.
I mean the set up.
I have a ton of those buckets in my garden.
!7 gallons for a larval tank. I have always used something small. Must be hard to keep density up?
I see some pvc pipe, what is it for? I am guessing a drain?
I see some water shooting out what looks like a Ehiem pipe?
The larval set up looks different?

This video shows the setup towards the end:



The PVC is an overflow and the bucket the sump.

This is my food leftover disposal tank. If it is edible they eat it, no matter the size. They even strip large krill my large Marine Betta refused to eat down to nothing...

In case anybody is interested in a pair of my bicinctus babies. One of them is available at Diver's Den:


Note, they only got one pair from me!

This is a video of them from when they were still with me.




They have been together for over half a year. This is a video of them from June:




Even though the description says "difficult", they are among the easiest and hardiest fish to keep.

I thought those might be yours, but when they mentioned Palau it seemed like that is where they came from so I wasn't sure.
