Sorry about the delay. Honey's are easily raised like any other blue-eyes as
the fry are quite large and feed well at the surface on APR and spirulina
powder supplemented by any other infusoria. If your weather is mild enough
they do well outside in ponds too. fry are large enough to take vinegar
eels, BS nauplii and microworms too within a few days
Good luck
Regards,
Bruce.
