Aqua Huna is fantastic! I found them accidently through ebay, and then your website. I have ordered from them a few times, and their customer service is excellent. The only downside I ever had was a delay in shipping due to COVID-19, but that is totally understandable. The hillstream loaches I ordered from them began breeding within the first month.

I have found that your fry food in the bottle is perfect for mid-water schooling fish. When they come in from the wholesaler at our store I can usually get them eating right away. Some of it stays floating on the top for the fish that eat there, and some of it slowly sinks as the mid-water fish dart back and forth gobbling it up.

I have 6 clown killies and I'm in love with them. I am very lucky. I haven't seen them anywhere but I found a local fish store run by hobbyists. One of who breeds these.

I put a good sized pinch in there and they all go nuts! Everyone eats and is happy. I also throw some repashy in for my cories and shrimp.

@blackosprey2219 3 года назад

Just from my personal experience with CPD's- they are actually really easy to breed for an egg-layer, even on accident. I actually got a small batch of babies without doing anything to promote spawning or their survival after hatching. I also hesitate to recommend them to anyone, because they seem strangely prone to disease that resists most common antibacterial and antifungal treatments.

@sshep86 4 года назад

Makes sense for small fry but unnecessary for most small fish. Unless you are feeding a school of hundreds and can't be bothered using your fingers. Flake is easy enough to grind up with your fingers and the larger pieces the fish will naturally latch onto and tear anyway, just like they would in nature with larger food particles. I don't even struggle grinding up some of my 'far' more expensive flake with my fingers, I use for breeding which is a lot damper due to oils. Takes a bit more rubbing, but it breaks up small enough for. I have however used an electric grinder a few times to break down pellets, but this was when I was experimenting with foods and making my own concoctions. Do you have thousands of fish and want to spare your fingers. ;)

@colmwhateveryoulike3240 3 года назад

I'd be interested in specifically coldwater nano fish. I have an 8 gallon tank on my windowsill indoors. I've put water and plants from canals and ponds in my vicinity into it. It's fascinating how much life is in there - snails, gammarus, copepods, daphnia, even bavkswimmers and caddisfly larvae. It also has various worms including planarians. It has no filter or heater but does have duckweed, pondweed, and several broadleaved riparian plants and grasses that have built up on a mound in the corner of soil and wood and dead plant material. It all looks great and has cleared up but I'm interested in perhaps introducing some coldwater nano fish and shrimp in a few more months when it's more established. Besides adding water I want it to look after itself. I did this before with a smaller and much less diverse set up that hosted minnows for 4 years without feeding. I feel like that was a bit cruel however, so I'd rather not add fish if they won't be happy.

Hey Cory, I have a different experience with CPDs.. I have them in my 10 gallon nano tank with chili rasboras, gertrude rainbows, pygmy corys and shrimp.. they all eat from the top of the tank(except for the Corys ajd shrimp ofcourse).. when they see me near the tank, they all beg for food!!

Celestial pearl danio are sooo shy...omg. I had them for a year and I even had a succes with breeding them although it took some effort cause they eat their babies as soon as they notice them so you have to take out the parents to let the babies grow. Also believe it or not but they are mental. I've added a dozen shrimp to a tank with them and they killed them all through the night. And once again...really shy. So shy that I had to throw in food and get away from the aquarium so they could come out and it. I had a real love/hate relationship with them. Basically all u said is true regarding the food. They loved frozen cyclops and all the small frozen foods.
