Probably, but after an hour, I increase it to 1ml then to 2ml then to 4ml then to 8ml.....I also put two drops of prime in each bag.

I acclimated my Angels with that gizmo.

How many EBRs did you get?

 

Interesting... I just use those airline tubing for pumps ;D. It works great haha.

I have 7. I was supposed to have 8 but one of the males she had picked out for me paired with a separate female and she didn't want to send both since I said I wanted two unattached males. So she decided she would wait until she found another awesome, unattached male to send me.

 

well let me know when you re-order, I want to get one unattached male for my community tank. These EBRs are amazing!!!! Best I've seen so far.

 

Will do. I hope to be getting some more soon. LOL I think I got the blue fish bug. Blue angels.. blue rams.... blue... other things lol. BTW that water isn't dirty. It just has some uh.. can't think of the word. Tranquilizer (?) in it? It's used for international shipping. That is probably in there because it's a mated pair. They often do that so the pair doesn't split up or kill each other in the bag... Or lay eggs in the bag. I've had that happen before.

My guys just got out of acclimation! Getting ready to release them into the tank.

 

Yours are nice....

They are going into a 10 gallon tank for now until I transfer them to the 40 gallon tank in the warehouse.


Should I be concerned over this one? His/Her tail fin are kinda clamped....while the others are flared out.

 

She doesn't look too bad. A bit stressed maybe.

 

What are you planning on feeding them tomorrow? I just release one couple into the tank, the one with the tranquilizer water.

 

eating the copepeds in the tank

Yeah, I don't feed them overnight and then I feed them the next day. I should have fed them but I will wait till they get settled in. I bet they are super hungry.

 

Mine are picking at all the copepeds in the tank.

 

Nice rams, Rogue. They're very blue. Does the one in the second to last picture have a scratch on it?

 

Freaking love the eyes!

Me too!!

Thank goodness, that would be a very bad boo-boo.

 

those pictures are awesome, I have one bag in acclimation. I've notice the other two pairs are in different sides of the tank.

 

Thanks. Mine were swimming about in a big group last time I checked.

 

I'm done. How old do you think these EBRs are?

 

BTW These fish have been in the mail for over 8 days! Just goes to show how hardy they are ;D. I dunno if I mentioned this to you Amazon but while I was going over their genetics sheet (came in the box with mine) I found out that their sire was one of my rams! He was my biggest and best breeders.... and he was half purple .

How fun is that? Just shows how good your fishies and care are n____n

 

They are awesome. I wanted to get in on this deal, but my husband thought ordering fish online was sketchy. So when I did order fish online I just didn't tell him first he he he.

 

I'm done. How old do you think these EBRs are?

Not positive yet. I would guess a couple months.

 

Very nice Rogue.

What have you fed them? Mine don't like flakes.

 

They are a lot of fun to photograph lol. They're in my 70g so they get a variety of food. I haven't seen them eat so much yet because I haven't been around much. Right now I have Kensfish Angelfish flakes, Tetrafin Flakes, NLS community sinking pellets, and a couple of different cory/pleco foods going in. They got frozen bloodworms and brineshrimp the other day but I'm not sure if they got any with the rainbows and tetras going crazy lol.

 

Great looking rams everyone! Too bad I am out of room currently.

 

They are so beautiful. I wish I had enough $$ to get some! Maybe next time. Wahh!

I know!!! I'm thinking of selling off fish so I can make room for some more unrelated ones.

Thanks! Maybe when ours breed you could get some babies . Those would be ABR anyway.

 

Will these unrelated ones be coming from Europe or South America?

 

Germany to be exact.

 

Germany to be exact.

You and your international connection. Love it!!!

I only have a florida connection and he's been my gateway to the international connection

 

LOL took years of hard work but I'm pretty popular on that side of the world now hehe.

 

I'll take Blue so you can make room

 

I'll take Blue so you can make room

I no longer have Blue :'(

 

I no longer have Blue :'(

what happened?

 

I no longer have Blue :'(

What?!

 

Wait, what?!

 

Blue was the flowerhorn, right? What happened to him?!

 

Did you sell blue?

 

LOL took years of hard work but I'm pretty popular on that side of the world now hehe.

I believe you are fairly popular on this side of the world too!

 

:'( I wasn't going to say anything but he died. I was about to sell him but then decided I couldn't because I just liked him too much. That week I put a lid on his tank for the first time. Apparently he didn't like it and banged it off and some how ended up on the floor while he was banging it. Stupid lid is bent from his efforts....

I believe you are fairly popular on this side of the world too!

LOL I should hope so! I feel loved lol.

 

Awww I'm so sorry Rogue. :console: Blue must have been a strong fish!

 

Aw. I'm sorry. That's a horrible way to lose a fish. :console:
