Baby fishes! July 31, 2008
Posted by Zoe in Uncategorized.trackback
Ok so I never told you this but we have 1 dog and 2 fish our 2 fishes just had 9 babies. We named the parent’s Lucy and Lulu ( Already named), and the babies we pinned so far are Dark Vader, Luke, and Lola. Luke and Dark Vader were my choice and are baby cousin got to name one and my sis- zilch.
We have to put them in a net breeder or in their own aquarium. If we put them in a seperate aquarium and it doesn’t have a filter, change 20% of the water twice a day and replace it with water from the parent aquarium. If it does have a filter, we have to make sure it is a sponge filter, or cover the filter intake with a piece of panty hose to keep the babies from getting sucked in. We can feed the babies once or twice a day with powdered flake food. We have to put some flake food in a ziplock bag and smash it between our fingers until it becomes powdered. Then, dip the tip of a toothpick in the water to wet it, then into the powdered flakes, and back into the water to feed the babies. When a baby dies, we have to remove it immediately because it will foul the water. After about a month, they should be larger than the parent’s mouths and able to go back into the parent aquarium. *faints* MOM is going to petco RIGHT NOW. Mom, if you are reading this stop reading and get the dang fish food !!!!!!
