Re: [GSAS-Member] scarlet Badis (Dario dario) update
Final update: The last of my potentially female 'scarlet Badis' died
yesterday. I think asking for the greyist of fish from the sorting bin
just got me damaged, stressed out males from the batch (sigh). Anyway,
this was a learning experience. And thanks so much to Steev, who went
beyond the call of duty to drive up here to Bothell to collect little dead
fish (weak grin). If I try this again (which I'll only do if the vendor
starts using Bag Buddies), I'll immediately start treatment with some
alternative antibiotics he has recommended. Melafix just didn't do the job
this go round. One of these days we'll have at least one pair of these
gorgeous little fish in the club, who hopefully with cooperate and make
lots of baby 'scarlet Badis'. And I have plenty of eager males here hoping
to contribute genes as well! They just started actively taking frozen
adult brine shrimp as of yesterday although a couple still have
reservations about dead floaty things. They prefer their food still
kicking.
