Re: Record births???

Well... I just spent over a half of a day feeding the little ones! I had to see each one eat, so I know who the non-eaters are.

I put them all in a bucket, dropped in fish and earthworm pieces, and sat and watched... and watched... and watched...

Each time someone had a lump, or I saw someone grab a piece of food and swallow it, I transferred them back to their enclosure.

In the end, I force fed earthworm parts to five non-eaters, and kept them seperate. All the rest ate either minnow chunks or earthworm pieces readily.
