Hi, I registered last year when my Axy laid and I didn't know what to do.
Now she has laid again, but this time at least I know what NOT to do!
Last year I made the mistake of trying to rear them all, and lets just say I've still got a few living in my bath. The ones that I did manage to sell didn't cover the cost of, well, anything. The worst part was breeding the brine shrimp in limited space, its hard to sleep with a bubble-bottle at the end of your bed and it nearly drove me mad. (I'd put it as one below having a dozen Fire-bellied toads all calling for mates at the same time).
Anyway, I've already been told that I won't be keeping any this year, but I don't have the heart to send them to 'live in the sea'. I'd like to offer them FREE to a good home but I can't advertise here because a year's lurking didn't earn me the right posting privileges.
The spawn comes from a pair of two year old Wild coloured. It's too early to tell how many eggs we've got now (or how many are leceustic) because I seemed to disturb her in the middle of spawning this morning. I've left the light off and stayed away, hoping she'll finish up, but I wanted to get a message on here as soon as possible.
Any advice is welcome, I don't even know a suitable method for posting the eggs out, even if I could find anybody that wanted them.
Thanks for reading,
