Hi,
These are one of my favorites, I keep them in their own tank. They do love
baby brine shrimp. They spawn every morning , the mop is covered in golden
eggs. They hatch quite nicely, feeding them green water (infusoria) at the
beginning, microworms later. Yet the amount of them to live on to adulthood
is not very good. Does anybody have a couple of hints?
