Good deal

Do you have any plants with them now?

Navarro

Not at the moment but they will get plants eventually, I am thinking of doing something with Eleocharis parvula, prosepinaca palustris and that nice Lipmnophila spp. we found all over the place.

Just asking.
I would throw some plants in there just to calm them down if the are darting around too much.

Navarro

I most definitely have to do that, I have lost 2 pigmy sunfish probably due to stress! On a different note as I was doing a water change yesterday I noticed how well the minnows shoal! But if I remember correctly Jerry mention that they are hunters and will kill anything smaller than them specially shrimps!
I will keep you posted.
BTW Paul can we see some pictures? Please!!!!!
Best regards,
Navarro

I apologize for the delays, guys. Been busy at work lately but no excuses. The sunfish deserve to be seen! I will hop on over to CP to take pictures THEN upload all the rest. Give me one more day, kind gentlemen

Navarro

The pigmy sun fish are having it rough I can find anything to make them eat I lost 2 more yesterday! Water is good the minnows are eating just fine and I don't know what else to do. If you have any ideas please let me know ASAP.

Did you put any plants in yet? I would just float in some java moss, nothing special.
Have you tried to feed them bloodworms yet? That seems to be a more naural food then brine shrimp.

Navarro

I have plants in there now, but I will have to get the worms since I don't have any.

Luis , Probably adding a lot of dried oak leaves would help. The water we got them from had a lot of tannins.
