Ok, so the Bangers are getting good at this breeding thing, although it sure took them a LONG time between batches this time. It's 5 1/2 weeks since I stripped the male last, and the time before that it was only 1 1/2 weeks between stripping. I wonder what they'll even out to... The female was looking huge, and this morning Mr Banger is ridiculously full of eggs!!! I don't think he could possibly hold one more in there.
On the other hand, the babies who are now 5 1/2 weeks old are doing well. I'm fairly certain there are 23 of them in there today. I'm having troubles getting them onto dry food. They're pretty keen on the BBS, and if I try to starve them into eating dry food they start dying. Not sure what to do about that...I'm going to try just feeding BBS twice per day, and feeding dry the rest of the day. The next batch I'm going to get onto dry sooner in hopes they'll get used to it easier. They're starting to get pretty crowded in the breeder "trap" thingy, so I'm going to have to figure out something to do with them soon because Mr Banger is going to be needing to be stripped in 25 days, so I'll need the breeder trap for them. Maybe I'll set up my 40g...
