Hey Ned, do you have any of the Galaxy Rasbora left?

Also are they good in water that has a few pieces of driftwood? We put several of our endlers in our big tank and lost most, looked around and read that PH and the minerals from driftwood was likely the cause. Our Tetras, Corys, Plecos and Gourami are been fine in the tank

Thanks,
Marcy

not right now, soon tho probably, no longer rare

sure

possibly too low a pH for the endlers, but I don't know...
good idea to check all your numbers on both tank water and tap water periodically,
also Endlers have a naturally short life span

When Endlers made a come back several years ago, I decided to dedicate a 20 gallon tank to a colony. The only space left for the tank was in the bedroom. In there, I was able to observe the fish more closely and often. They were good quality and produced many fry. Endlers probably prefer water on the hard side but did fine in my soft (40 ppm ?), low P.H. water (6.0 ?). I always did 20-25 % water changes weekly (good Ned advice).
Anyway, I noticed something about them that I don't ever recall hearing. When the females dropped the batch of fry, they would not be immediatly free-swimming. The fry would be on the bottom of the tank just after birth. Kind of like newly hatched egg layer wigglers. If my memory is correct, they would stay on the bottom for about 1/2 hour to 45 mins. This would give Cory's or any other fish some time for a quick snack. Be interesting if anyone else has observed this.

All the above info. is correct except for the time frame. Thinking about it- The new born fry were not free-swimming for only about 10-15 mins or so.
Enough time to be eaten though....
Happy Easter
