THanks to RD for the research articles on line/inbreeding etc. Currently, I have 11 (used to be 12 but squished it with a net during transfer)ebjd. 2.5 weeks old I will edit and add photo as I get them.

Bluecan Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I love these little guys, for fry which are usually pretty bland and borring, i think they are particularly good looking, and it will be interesting to see when they turn blue! I kind of regret not getting some of these guys, they were a huge reason for me getting so into the hobby caught my eye but then i got scared to keep them as a newby lol. awesome thread jonah.and good work.

fatpuffer Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Thanks folks. I will update this as much as possible. I am also interested to find out when they start turning blue. If any other blue owners out there want to trade blues...let me know. Thanks Jonah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) They are getting bigger. They will be approx 4 weeks this sunday. They are about 1/2 inch long and you can start to see bluish tinge at the gill plates.

fatpuffer Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Excuse the photos. Here are the abjd at approximately 3/4 of an inch some about 1 inch. It is hard to photograph the blue coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingin' It Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 NICE! I do belive you caught some blue in the last photo. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayba Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Looking wicked, starting to look like fish, not just fry. If you know what I mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 i understand what you meant. Finally a breakthrough with feeding. They are taking adult frozen brine shrimp (fortified with vitamins, etc.)I am still pushing NLS just not sure how much they are taking it. this way i can stop my bbs "factory" for now. Now i understand why they are so pricey! Two years to get any blues! anyways, all 11 are going strong. keeping my fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Quick update: 11 is eating well. I am currently feeding a mix of frozen brine shrimp with vits and omega and NLS. They are FAT! Some looks wider as they are long...basically a square...haha.Some are over 1" (eyeball measurement) and the blue are coming out more. They have to "hunt" their food now as the tank is pretty big compared to their old one. Its funny how they school at this size...basically playing follow the leader. No obvious deformities. I will keep them until they hit around 3 inches at least and no deformities. Jonah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
