[Wisperian]

When can I get my order of rozen daphina cc lol we want pics

 

[cutecotton]

yes, frozen daphnia was the food that smelled like feet i just mix it in wtih teh bloodworms and convince myself that the fry must be eating SOME of it i hope

I'm going to take pics asap (wheenver i can borrow the cam again)

everything that lives in water loves bloodwroms

 

[cation]

According to what wuv was saying, they love the jarred daphnia - I'll be excited to try mine on some babies soon...

 

[cutecotton]

fed them their first hikari bio gold pellet :rolleyes

okay, so i had to crush teh pellet first, but it still counts!! the fry lunged after it, spit the first few out but took something in


p.s. cation: what is jarred daphnia?

Daphnia in a jar It's not frozen,it's preserved and canned. You just keep it in the fridge

 

[cutecotton]

is it alive?

fishy: i see some blue streaks on them the color isn't very obvious yet, and yesterday i think i caught some crowsn in there their i had to really strain my eeys to see those though

it is also the stinkiest stuff on the face of the planet...
or maybe i just always let mnie go bad...

It does reak when it goes bad. No cc,it's not alive...but it's not frozen It's just canned,kind of like a relish

One of my 4 week olds almost choked to death on a frozen bloodworm last night I thought he was a goner and I removed him and put him in about an inch of water in a cup and said a prayer.He was belly up and thrashing around. First I held him in my hand a debated on trying to pull it out. I came back a couple of hours later and there was a pretty big bloodworm sitting on the bottom and him swimming around Not trying to hijack....just a warning to make sure they don't overstuff themselves and that the pieces are small enough...I think my situation was a combo of both.

That is 100%% freaky wuv! Im glad he's okay

 

[cutecotton]

whoa, tha tis a freaky freaky story wuv! One of the fry also tried to eat a way too big piece, and ended up having half of it stuck out, so i used tweezers and kinda moved it a iltlte for him, and he managed to spit it out...turns out that he really needed a gulp of air, it was the first thing he did after he managed to spit out the worm

eek-ive been feeding bad daphnia to my fish! they didnt seem to mind though... )
i feel bad now. i thought it was supposed to be stinky...although it wasnt that way when i first opened it... (funny-and i thought i had common sense)
(i did throw the 1/2 empty jar away after a while though-when i began to dread opening it...)
i guess i cant go through the jars fast enough
sorry for hijacking.

Exactly,they're suffocating. Bettas draw zero oxygen from the water after they get their labyrinths.

Jac~ I just threw a nearly full jar away
Also sorry for hijacking

 

[endparenthesis]

I'm pretty sure they do get some oxygen... just not enough to sustain them indefinitely.
