New comments about my babies:
Several came to the front this morning looking for food (moina). I have started Brine Shrimp to, to supplement.
The fish have long parallel dark stripes the length of their bodies and very long pelvic fins (of the ones I have seen). Appear to have white-ish dots or markings along dorsal and caudal fins (near the outer edges), but surely too young, to observe anything definate.
Slowly dropping pH from 7.5.. targeting 5.5.. this will take at least a week.. dripping it into the tank.
Sorry if I’m over posting but this so much fun and interesting… you each have gone thru this too. Be patient and warn me if you see error in what I am doing.
