Reidi Birth Announcement and Update
Hello Everyone,
I am new to this group but I thought I would let you know what's currently going on. Friday morning my H. Reidi gave birth to 214 babies (his biggest brood ever!) We are on day three and I currently have 170 left after our water change this morning so I think we are doing fairly well. I can say that this time I wasn't prepared since he lost his last batch of fry, and I didn't have any copepods or other goodies going. I gave them some decapsulated brine but I know from experience that they probably won't last long on these. I was going to try the Kreisel bowl setup this time, but alas, I didn't have time to go and buy one. Well, Wish me luck everyone,
Crystal Bridges

Congratulations Crystal!!!
With Reidi, those Kriesel bowls are the way to go! Been there, done that...
I never got any past 2 months and my male has been sick for a long while now. I've got his GBD symptoms cleared but he's still very lethargic, and not interested in mating. Had him 13 months today....glad he's still hanging in but wish I could give him his vigor back...
I had good luck with decapped bbs, tried rotifers but they didn't seem to take to them. Copepods are the way to go, but by the time I got good cultures going, the pair had stopped breeding 
Keep us posted 
Jenn

Gee jenn, the fact you knew what was going on
Seriously tho, it took a minute and analyzing the context, there are a lot of Genus that begin with H
