I will continue updates on this guy as long as he survives
Plans are to raise him to adulthood and then let him loose in the tank.Yeah they are the same in my area. i think the pygmys were about $5.00 or more each back when i bought 10 of them. they are all sold now except for this little fry.
I had kuhli loaches breed once for me, unknowningly.
I bought 5, all made it fine, had them 2 years or so.
When I was moving fish around, I could only catch 4 of them. I got tired of trying to catch the last one and decided to leave it on its own in the tank. I was breeding Badis badis and didn't want either species harmed by the loach being in there which is why I was wanting to move them out.
About a year later, I found 7 in the tank when I broke it down. The other tank still had only 4, so I can only presume they had bred when all together and when I caught the 4 originally to move. It was a heavily planted tank, and I never saw more than one when trying to catch what I presumed was the last one in the tank. Perhaps the other 6 were really small and I just never saw them. By the time I got the 7 out, they were all pretty much the same adult size.
Fish do their own thing sometimes, when left to their own devices!

That's the truth OC. A few weeks ago I had to do some serious plant grooming in my 55g. Much to my surprise I found a few large ghost shrimp in there. How they managed to hide from the mad shrimp eaters in this tank I don't know. I put some ghost shrimp in this tank about 5-6mo ago and w/in a week or two I couldn't find them anymore aside from shrimp legs hanging out of the mouths of my betas.
