yellow Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I found a whole bunch of these guys in my display tank today. I won't be raising any, but I thought I would share it nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellow Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 No Phenomena, it's all too hard. They're only tiny too, about the size of a mosquito larvae, but they look like an Axolotol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEG-IT Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Why dont you want to raise? +2, is it cause they are going to get eaten as they are in a display tank? if i were you, i would get a seperate tank to breed these guys or to raise the young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjmowens Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 they are very hard to raise. out of about 4 batches of senegals ( 900 or so wrigglers) i was only ever able to raise one to a stable size. did you get to see the pair spawn? its pretty special to watch...

yellow Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Why dont you want to raise? 1. If i raised them i would have to give them away for free on moral grounds, and i know that if i did that, they would end up on pet link within five minutes of leaving my door. I have staunch views on that sort of thing, and no amount of money will ever change that. 2. I don't need the gov coming down on me for breeding and distributing soon to be noxious fish; especially considering the above reason. I just want to keep mine as pets. if i were you, i would get a seperate tank to breed these guys or to raise the young I don't need to. They pretty much have their own tank, and they're perfectly happy in it; hence the breeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingtiger Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Yellow, You should save a few for the hobby. These guys are harder to come by at the moment and with all the aging stock in the country they will eventually lost in the hobby. Maybe raise some and give it to those that you know will take care of them and not just for the sell value. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
