Re: P. tenellus shipment
Bill, thanks heaps for the pics! I often wondered what a heat pack looks like... nope we don't need one locally :wink: Nice packing indeed.

Are you able to tell from the remaining 4, if you still have females in there?
I see their new home is planted but suspend 2 mops in there anyway. In my setup with mostly vals and Blyxa japonica, the gertrudae chose the mop over other fine-leaved plants.
After your tenellus have settled in and eating well, check the mop twice a week. If you find any eggs, you can either water-incubate the whole mop or just pick 'em eggs.
Hatching water should be from that same tank and toss in a wad of moss. Newly hatched Pseudomugil are quite fragile and does best on micro organisms as first foods.
Good luck, Bill. I'll keep my ears pinned to this thread for your good news!
I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,
Ronnie Lee
