I finally made some progress collecting a few eggs from my group of pygmy puffers.
Of the 3 that hatched, one is still going strong. I had problems getting a good infusoria culture started at the time as a first food - so in desperation I put the surviving fry in my red cherry breeding tank! This particular tank is also overrun with small seed shrimp and cyclops - which seem to have done the trick
The individual is about 4 weeks post hatching and still only around 6-7mm long. Unfortunately it is starting to take an interest in the smallest shrimplets and I just don't have a suitable tank to move it to.
Anyone interested?
Too small to move just yet and I'd like to get it feeding on bloodworm before it goes - but i'm guessing another 3-4 weeks?
Free to a good home - collection from New Malden, South West London.
Can post some photos if anyone is interested.
Thanks, Mark
P.s. I'm fairly sure this is Carinotetraodon imitator and not C. travancoricus - based on the colouration of the males and patterning on the females.
