Daharkazangel Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 My bn male kicked a hatched egg out of his log. He has never done this before. Me being me, I saved it and put it in a safe breeder net. What are the chances it will survive? I can see its heart beating. It doesn't seem to be able to wiggle like the others but, could it just be a late wiggler?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daharkazangel Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 He is still alive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnexplainedWays Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I've never bred them but am interested to see how it turns out for when i do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyfish Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Stick him in a tumbler, chances are he'll survive if he's a wiggler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daharkazangel Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 He doesn't wiggle but his heart beats. He's using his yolk sack....he should wiggle hey. And I don't own a tumbler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyfish Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 just make sure he gets enough water flow, you don't want him sitting still and getting fungus. the reason the male stays in the cave is to fan oxygen over the eggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlum Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Was cleaning out my pond filter today and found three bn which were smaller then 1cm. I was given 3 adults about 6 months ago and tossed them into my pond. Wahoo so they seem to b hardy because my pond is full of goldfish, platties, guppies, mollies, cories and featherfins.

Daharkazangel Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Still alive. Dnt think he will make it, hes still not wiggling his tail. Broken spine? Will know in a few days if I have to cull, he's growing fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daharkazangel Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 He looks like a little catty today, they grow so fast!! He is moving now to. If he survives his name is lucky!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyfish Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Good to hear mate. I'm the same, I always have to rescue the little guy, makes it all worth it when they make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daharkazangel Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 He is still kicking, very clear his tail is broken into a 45degree angle now. He swims well and eats well. Should pull through. I've put him in a grow out tank with other bn fry but he stands out somewhat. Looks like lucky will spend his days chilling in my tanks :-) will post pics when he reaches a good photoable ( new word lol) size ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daharkazangel Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I know I promised pics but hes so quick I did a vidio! He has no movement in his front pectrol fins and limited movement in his tail. Please no mean comments, hes my only bn im currently keeping, couldnt sell him so he will chill in my 75 until he days are out. He is growing at half the rate of a normal bn.

~Col~ Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Great job!! Looks like he gets around no problem! You will probably find that he's hardier than normal. I have an albino Cory with a severley deformed spine and he has survived so much!! He's one of my favorites and I've had him for 2.5 years now.
