This is an update on various crosses I’ve made that have fry growing out. Also some tips on doing crosses. I normally use fish I've culled for the crosses. This is because the genetics are the same but there may be an issue I didn't like, such as black spots on the body of male snakeskins. I select females that are not culls. They are virgin females. I use small tanks so the male does not have to chase down the female too much. I keep water sprite at the top of the tanks and java moss at the bottom to provide cover for fry or females. I grow the fry out in 1 gallon containers for their first few weeks so they do not have to hunt all over for food. They are fed 1 feeding a day of live baby brine shrimp, 1 feeding of the high protein food I mix up and a 3rd feeding is normally the flake foods I mix up. I sell the hi protein food on ebay and aquabid under seller id greyd The food is 54% protein and 15% fat and is good for all fish and shrimp. Any questions email me at greydmail at yahoo.com
