I'll never have more that 2 in the display tank. Any that I can raise will go to Local Fish Stores. I plan on getting a mate for Little Nemo and let them live in the Lagoon.

Once the fry are about 1" they should be able to go into the Lagoon. Any smaller and they'll just end up being Banggai food.

There's a picture of him swimming over a quarter from day 21 where a slight white stripe is visible just behind his head.

Rotifers were the first food. The parents use Green Hairy Mushrooms as a host. The Mushrooms are visible in the pictures of them taking care of the eggs before they hatched.

27 days in the pic. I believe he's a late bloomer. Probably related to nutrition.

sorry bang if I am bothering you but can you tell me how to culture these rotifers?I have heard about it but never tried it before.were can I get them?

 

[bang guy]

I got a culture of a few Rotifers from a fellow hobbiest. I fed them Instant Algae and they multiplied into millions really fast. I keep them in a couple of old salt buckets and a main culture in a 32 gallon trash can.
