Can they be raised or do they get eating?
She may be fat but not on food
Probably will lay in the next couple days
Thanks, good to know. I was hopping you had it figured out.. At least she happy. I know the daddy is!!Her first batch I tore the tank apart to get the eggs out and put them in a seperate tank and they started to hatch but I lost the rest of the eggs and shortly after I lost all the fry. To answer your question they can be raised but it's a lot of work. You have to have cultures of green water to feed the small strain of Rotifers which you feed the fry. I had a 20 gallon set up for the parents after my dt leaked but they never spawned in there and as soon as I put them back in my new tank she starts producing eggs. More than likely I'll let them lay and if by some Miracle some babies survive long enough to to be seen I'll try to scoop them out. There's only a few times that I've heard of them actually spawning in a tank and very few people have raised them. As far as I know there's only one company that has actually raised them and sells them the rest are wild caught
She does gray up the day before she lays. Her head gets gray and she has thick dark barks on her body. Right now she's yellow with almost iridescent spots and rays going through her fins and head. He looks the same as she does nowTagging along. This is interesting as I always thought the females were gray and males were yellow.
The first batch I was doing all kinds of research. And there's a guy on here that has had his spawn and keeps a very detailed log of it. If I can find my old post I'll share the linkThanks, good to know. I was hopping you had it figured out.. At least she happy. I know the daddy is!!
Oh wow. Great info to learn. There were two gray ones with darker gray stripes/bands at the lfs. We waited until they received a yellow one as I didn't think the others would be a yellow color normally. Maybe there are some watchman gobies that are just gray then?She does gray up the day before she lays. Her head gets gray and she has thick dark barks on her body.
