Shouldn't Anita try vinegar eels first for the newborns, rather than bbs? I have a whole gallon going, that I haven't used. I can give you most of it. You should buy a food culture booklet. They are $1. and are available through our GSAS library storage!

My Blue Rams have hatched! After many spawnings where my blue rams just couldn't get it altogether, they are responding to my new tank conditions and have actually hatched babies. Right now they're wriggling on a rock, but suspect they will be free swimming any day now. WHAT THE HECK DO I FEED THEM? Should I set up a separate tank for them as soon as they are free-swimming, or just leave them with their parents? (Right now their tank has 9 neon tetras, 3 siamese algae eaters, & 2 small bronze cories that somehow managed to evade my wholesale removal of corys from that tank). Any advice is welcome. Also, one of those cories spent the day yesterday laying eggs on the glass front of the tank. Out of curiosity, are the translucent ones fertile, and the opaque ones infertile? Should I do anything in particular with those, if they actually hatch?
