Thanks Helena, it's been a lot of work. Feeding 5xs a day, adding vitamins to the food and letting it soak for 2 hours before feeding, daily water change and siphoning, testing water daily, hatching baby brine shrimp.....

BUT, it's worth every minute. I just hope I am in fact giving them enough nutrition to keep them alive during this next week, which is the BIG test. So lets all say a prayer and hopefully at the 2 week mark I can report some good news.

WOW they really do look amazing. Sounds to me like your doing everything in your power to make sure their is little loss when you hit that critical period. I hope all your hard work pays off!

Good luck with the babies and I can't wait to see your next update

I wouldn't be able to tear myself away from the tank! Cute, cute, cute!

The babies are 7 weeks and 2 days old today.

Sorry I have been away so long. On day 13 we had 8 babies die so that was a sad day and I've lost a handful more since then. But I'm still pretty happy that I have 16 babies!!! I took these pictures today. Enjoy!

I was wondering what happened with these little guys

You said it!!!

I'm now mixing some Cyclopeez with the BBS and some are eating it, but if I just stick Cyclopeez by itself they might take a bite or two but then stop eating. I'm hoping in about a month I can get them on 100% Cyclopeez. I'll have a big party when I can say bye-bye to the live BBS.
