Re: Babies!!!
Hi all~
Got one little baby to eat today, not much of a challenge. He quickly ate a little live minnow dropped in a deli cup, then latched onto and gobbled up a piece of salmon held with tongs. I have a feeling he would have eaten much more if I'd let him! The second little one showed no interest what-so-ever, but I don't think he has shed yet, so I'm not too surprised. He is now actively roaming his little tank as I type though, so maybe he's getting hungry. I'll offer again in a couple days. Haven't got any worms yet, need to find a bait shop, but I will soon and will offer these next...
I am wondering if there is a way to visually sex these little guys, or do I need to take them to a professional to have them probed/popped? I am pretty sure they are the same sex, whatever they are. Their tails look pretty long, and there is a slight bump below the vent, does this sound like males? A friend will be taking one, and he doesn't really care about the sex, but I will be giving the other to my sister and would like to get her a mate for it. I've told her she can raise them up into a breeding pair. I would post pictures, but my camera isn't great and these little ones are so quick all pictures are rediculously blurry....
