.........do you have a detailed thread here on your brine shrimp culturing??? (hint)

rgrking · Spawning

oh no. Just dump them in a hatchery and let them swim to the container on top lol. I don't grow them out unless they make it in the tank. These fish love the baby brine.

I'm going to keep this as a breeder. I have an identicle tank drilled so I can use my sump system in my DT. I wouldn't mind having it all on one system for now. Or I can use my 29 as a sump. I just need to get a little pump for the breeding rack.

Glen is platinum considered a piebald type of morph?

rgrking · Spawning

hmm not sure on that. The picasso parents have platinum offspring. Not sure about it being called a piebald though.

Variko · Big-Geek

Oh, the parents were picasso's? Was it a mixed litter of normal's picasso's and platinums?

chris&barb · Lost

They look nice Glen. What are you feeding them?

rgrking · Spawning

mostly frozen cyclopese. I add baby brine two out of three days. Also I've been starting to give them a little Rods and Mysis. They ea everything I put in front of them. I don't ever see any leftovers lol.

I'm trying to get them as fat and happy as I can to see if they start breeding fast. I"m hoping to have babies by the end of the year. They are right at 5 months old right now.

Barbara · Geekette

AWESOME!!!!

......are both of them from RCA? are they bickering with each other?

rgrking · Spawning

yeah they are both from him. I honestly think they are pairing up. They do the clown shake and everything. It's looking like the platinum is going to be the female (boss) lol

Clownfish Sushi · Big-Geek

any updates? it's been what, 3 weeks?

rgrking · Spawning

oh they are doing great! They are still bickering a little. I guess they aren't quite settled down yet. Heck, I got time.
