I have one fry left from the original lot and its growing loads now and seems to be very healthy and happy.

Hi Ranchugirl...he/she is about a month old and about an inch long and being fed on frozen shrimp brine which I thaw out first and it loves it! I use a plastic knife to put the food into the tank and the little one sometimes comes up and eats of off the knife beforethe food falls off and sinks to the bottom..greedy litle bugger biggrin.gif

When I give the parents some live food I try a bit in his/her tank but its mouth is too small at the moment to catch any..but funny watching it chasing the live food about..sometimes it catches the smaller bits of live food so shouldn't be too long before it can eat the bigger stuff.

The filter is a bit too stong at the moment so I usually just turn it on for about 30 seconds a few times a day and I have a small airstone that's on all the time to help out a bit too, along with regular partial water changes.

It always comes to the front of the tank and has a nosey at me and i'm sure it can see the parents tank which is at the side of it as it keeps loking out of that side of the tank where they are. I've just got a plastic plant with a lava rock in the corner of the tank so it has some shelter if it needs any, plus its somewhere for it to go exploring.

I like the name Uno, thanks...nobody else has suggested yet so it might well end up with that name biggrin.gif
