one thing i tell my customers, is that if it ain't broke, don't fix it! lol ...so by all means go with what works for you.
in my situations, i prefer not to have her keep them in her mouth for that long cuz her stomach becomes too concave over time.....over course a tank is different and instinct will tell her to keep them in her mouth more often and alot longer than in a wild situation.
i can tell you that i never had any problems with Methylene Blue in all of the times i've used it.
obviously, in ur case there would be no need to use it......my example was meant in terms of fertilzed eggs....not hatched and/or free-swimming fry!
and if u ever used or had to use an Ick medicine on said fry, then u'd want to drop the dosage in half.....similar to certain Tetras or scaleless fish like Synodontis or Loaches, and so on.
yes, ur link to milking fry is basically as i described.
Sounds good. Yeah my female Benga was still looking perty healthy but I can definitely see your point.
I was checking out Youtube last night and caught this Eel video. Makes me want another eel. Years ago I had a Purple Spaghetti Eel, he was interesting to watch. He ended up getting out of his tank and we found him dead a week later. He had "woven himself" in and out of the holes at the end of my knit bedspread... I've also had Peacock and Zig Zag Eels which aren't really eels but I think they are a lot cooler. The only problem is I know my Africans would pick on him, my SA's would leave him alone for the most part but he would stay hidden because they are aggressive. I would have to put him in his own tank if I wanted to get him very big (not as big as that Fire Eel) and active all the time...
