So.....wow. It's been a LONG time since I've loitered this site lol. My two axies are thriving, and growing fast! :blob:
Unfortunately,so is my guppy population. I have (I counted) 43 fry, ranging from newborn to a week or two old, that I have NO idea what I'll do with. The tank does have high ammonia, due to the rapid population growth, but we will be getting a new,bigger tank to accommodate within the next few weeks. So, my question is...
Can I feed these fry to my axies?
The tank DOES Have a history of calamanus worms, and ich a looong time ago, but both where treated and haven't been seen in this particular generation of guppy, so im confident there won't be any infections or parasites getting fed along to them with the fish. Will the fry having grown in a high-ammonia environment make them,..idk, toxic or something, to an Axie? Is it safe to feed them live foods like this even without the ammonia issue? IDK!
On a similar note, my now nearly year old axies (honestly, it may have been longer, but I'm horrible at timekeeping) still refuse to eat anything but pellets and bloodworms. I had a heck of a time getting them to eat pellets, but it had been nessicary when I went on a trip to NY so I could have an automatic feeder. I've tried sliced up nightcrawlers, and they wouldn't take it, even after a six day long fast. I've tried normal earthworms, same result, and red wigglers were a no-go. now I'm worrying they may not be getting the nurtients they need. What can I do here?
