Where are you located in QLD, you are welcome to come and colect some rotifers and phyto is you live in brisbane. PM me for further details. You have about 7 days (total) before th eeggs hatch

Hi All,

Here is a short video of Premnas larvae shortly after metamorphosis (ie day 16). If you watch carefully, you will see the tiny larvae fighting with each other already. Seems that the agressivness in this species starts almost immediaty upon metamorphosis.

updated video of the Premnas babies

 

[Dr. Schell]

they were feeding on crushed fish fool flakes and week old, enriched brinshrimp - thus their crazy 'feeding' behaviour and the lack of fighting.

Very cool mate! Interesting read :)

Glad you liked it. These fish will be available for sale in about 1 months time.

here is an update on the babies, still growing well.

 

[Dr. Schell]

Ok, here is an update on the baby Premnas. They are now old enough and strong enough to distribute. Nearly all of the juveniles have a broken middle band so that the dark colouration forms a 'H' pattern. Here is a video of the babies, have approximatly 50.
