I love those Punks, Fish Daddy Jack 😍❤️ They are some of the most interesting and beautiful fish there are!! Thanks for sharing your experience and how to care for these guys!! Someday I would love to have a tank dedicated and have me some "Punks" too! Great video my friend I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day 🙏🌿🐟🌿💖🥰
Wow awesome story Fish Daddy Jack! Congrats on the fry! I can't believe they survived! That just shows how strong and adaptive your punks are! You're gonna have so many of these guys after a few more spawns lol! Keep it up man! Awesome video as well! 👍
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the show. Yeah, when all of them died I was upset. That was my bucket list fish and I paid a lot of them. Then the next week I couldn't believe what I was seeing with all those fry swimming around. I feed them sara fry food and BBS until they got a little bigger and then i started giving them crushed flakes . They really are a hardy little fish. Super cool and fun to watch too.
Dear Jack: This is a truly fascinating show you put together on your, terrific “punk” setup. I found the whole thing informative and interesting. I was curious to know if punks “bulldoze” the sand, like multis. I didn’t notice the characteristic, cone indentations around the shells. I suppose, as an opportunistic shell dweller, punks don’t dig much in the substrate? I was surprised to see that the parents are so protective. My Neolamprologus brichardi and Neolamprologus multifasciatus seemed to form breeding colonies, and adults never harmed fry. I'm very pleased to see that your, punk colony made a come-back. Thank you for sharing this, charming video. I do love Pip! He’s a fine-looking cat. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar
Hello! Thank you for the complements. They do a little bit of digging, but not like multis. When I had the original adults, I had a cryptocortyn flamingo planted. They didn't like that plants and would bury it with sand. I moved the plant and they still buried it. Other than that, not too much digging. Punks aren't colony breeders like multis are so that is why they fight the others off. I usually like to fast my fish for a day, but I find that if I don't keep these guys fed, another fish will try to eat the fry. I think that's why they have larger numbers of fry as a few maybe picked off. I have 2 cats. Dr. Pepper and the one you saw Mr. Pibb. He's a needy baby. Lol!
Dear Jack: We got off early, yesterday, for Good Friday. I decided to go to my, local pet store and see if their, house cat, Hank, was in the mood to let me pet him. He was on an office chair, in their office, so “no dice.” I noticed the store had sold all the Java moss I sold them, so I asked the fish guy if he was ready for more. He agreed, so I fetched some. I did a straight trade for all the Hygrophila corymbosa they had. I’m soaking half of it in alum solution, to rid it of pest snail eggs. I cleaned the glass on my, 20-gallon, tall tank, so it will be ready for planting, today. I look forward to seeing how this, reportedly easy, plant species does. Thank you for your, continued correspondence and assistance. Sincerely, Brinegar
