Had a good time with a Stripper today!

I learned something new and fun from a stripper today! Don't we always?

Fern came by today to show me how she strips, but she forgot to bring her stripper pole. I got pics of the whole thing!

so I lent her a q-tip instead, and she proceeded to show me how to strip my holding xmas fulu girl

I have vids too but it was far too big to upload in photobucket.

When she finished, I started counting the little wigglers.
She says, take a pic and then count them in the pic.
I said, OH, you must've done this before..
She said, yeah, once or twice..

Then we made a redneck tumbler using a thimble, and empty tube of toothpaste, a battery watch and an empty colonoscopy bag. Oh no wait, that was an old episode of McGyver.

But we did make one using a strainer, tub, air pump n tube, and twisties. Now i've got 41 lil wigglers in there!

They are exactly 2 weeks old and still have a tiny bit of yolk left. Figure they'll be done with that in about a day or two.


Here are some pics.









Reset the tank for them, since we had to move stuff around to get her out. Now the male is in spawning color and is trying to make me more wigglers!







I always say, hanging out with strippers is great fun!

lol...pretty kewl. so why remove them from the mother? will she snarf them?

didn't have a tank available to move the mother into, and the fry were already wigglers, so didn't want to take the chance of losing them.

they don't need to be in the tumbler long since they are almost free swimming. if they were still just eggs it would be a different story.

I'm in love with a strippa!

Very Nice! Good Job! Fern is the best!

Wow nice work

lmao......nice job Joe..I hope she did not smell like cheap baby lotion..

Well Joe did you enjoy your first stripping lesson?
But ya I could tell she was close to spitting them and stripping was not necessary... But it was a perfect time to teach how its done..... I had to figure it out on my own
But ya when that egg sack is used up feed them once or twice in the strainer then let them go in the tub. You got that sponge filter running in your big tank? Put that in the tub in about 3-4 days, daily small water changes till then. Your prolly gonna want to get a clear turkey baster for cleaning up the bottom.
Oh next time I come by I'm prolly gonna bring your dog some more toys

Fern did you wear the water changing outfit I posted?

i guess they dint get the joke..

Sounds like a regular somewhere else 2!

yea kmx...

Jaiko, yaa I got it
Vixen no funky fishy outfits that day I did have a dog on my shoulder... does that count?

thats so cool

So Yes I put the sponge filter in an established tank to mature.

the fry have pretty much used up their yolk sac and I fed them two or three times today with powdered food.

tomorrow will be taking them out of the tumbler.

already got them a tank..

just got a deal from a friend:

2 - 4' strip lights
30" full hood n strip light
36" full hood n strip light
2 - 20g longs
1 - 10g

$50


They'll stay in the 7g tub for a few more days until I reseal, cure and test the tanks

I already named each of the fry! I colored them with different colors of markers to know which is which.

Just looked in the Fulu tank, noticed the male was out of spawning color, looked around and found another female holding!

looks like two are holding, and atleast two more fatties that should be next

I told you they were machines!!

Got a use for those 4' lights?

lol i wish i had my machines working lol, good job Joe and Fern!!!

maybe I can get my fulus to call your fulus and talk some sense into them...

tell 'em, you guys better get movin' or else!

lmao nice job on the fulus!!! very nice

thanks

so Joe what are you going to do with the Fulus fry if they make it?

I'm going to make some in-wall tanks to save space and just put them in there...

my bedroom back wall measures about 15' x 12' so I figure I could fit around 9 10g tanks across and 7 down - 9 x 7 = 63 10g tanks filled with fry !





Sell them! are you going to be in the market for some? will probably be cheap, not alot of this


I HOPE SO because I just turned on the light and saw THREE holding females and the male is still in spawning color!?!?!?!



2 of the females are small, maybe 20 fry each or so, but one is larger than the one that just gave me 41 !
