Duncans Pushing a bunch of new heads!!!

[dgonci]

Today I was feeding my duncans some mysis when I saw one that looked like it was stuck underneath it. I turned it around and saw that my 3 heads have 5 growing out on the back side as well as the two I knew about on the front. Once they get grow out it should look pretty good.

The largest of them on the right side had managed to eat about half a mysis before one of my thieving cleaner shrimp ripped it away.

Congrats haha. My 1 head is pushing out 3 babies, and they all are at the same stage yours is.

Lovin the babies

Just curious, my one head can eat like 5 mysis in one serving, how many do you feel yours?

Normally one, the cleaner shrimp like to steal their food.

Wow, I load mine up. As many that will fit on the face of the head, is what he gets.

I will have to try that.

You might need to guard them from the cleaner shrimp. Blow water at the shrimp via pipette if he tries to steal it, duncans are fairly fast eaters.

I actually cut a 2 liter bottle of club soda in half and put that over the top of them now. Works pretty well.
