Shoot, what do I do??
I looked in the tank a minute ago to see where the snowballs were, and there was something sticking out of Katherine's usual cave, so I put the light on and my pair of banjo's are snuggled up in the stone cave together, one on top of the other...I am assuming they are gonna make babies...?
I looked it up on line, they say they will make about 3000-4000 eggs and guard them until they hatch.....then what do I do?? It says to take the parents out - but it's my only sand tank, I can't really take them out. Are they or are the other occupants going to eat all the babies - if indeed we get babies...
And where do I get rotifers from? I had not heard of them until about two minutes ago, now I have to acquire some in a hurry in case I get a bunch of baby banjos!
I am disproportionately excited about these amazing little fish making babies, lol, I only re-did their tank the other day and marveled at how cool it is that the big one buzzes when I pick it up. Oh and I had to pick them up, I wasn't just fiddling with them, I was putting in new caves and I have to make sure I know where they are so I don't dump a rock on their head. They are so cool, I am ridiculously over-excited for them.
Other occs are:
2 x snowball plecs
5 x hatchet fish
2 x brand new tiger barbs (should have been 6 but they only got two in so far).
