E. Anthonyi Tads...HELP!!!!

[bshmerlie]

There's a guy named Brian who breeds E. Anthonyi who lives about 15 minutes from me. I've left him a message to see if I can come over to see his tad setup but being its a holiday I'm not sure if I'll hear back from him today. I was planning on visiting him when I got the chance but I guess Tony (male) and Isabel (female) are on their own time schedule. I hope my two Veradero don't get frisky just yet. All the rest of my other darts are just babies right now so I have plenty of time before I have to worry about them.

Okay he dropped them off in the water dish. They don't move very much. Are they supposed to? Should I leave them in the dish or move them to a separate container? Where is everybody today?

If youve not got almond leaves you can use oak leaves or black alder cones to make the tea or even standard redbush tea teabags

Well, here's what I've got. The blackwater extract is on the left. I don't think these are oak leaves, but this is all the leaves I've got. They were sold as leaf litter. We don't drink tea in California. And I doubt they'll have that brand of tea here, but is it a specific flavor?

oopps forgot the pictures.

You can use blackwater extract - I do. Just put a good squirt in a few litres (a gallon for example) so the water is distinctly tinted and you're good to go. The tadpole bites are fine food. A good pelleted fish food like I recommend in my thread on raising tinctorius is a smart addition to their diet.

And congratulations!!!
