Fish Bowl #1: Moving the Albino Snakeskin Endlers to a New Home

We have moved our Albino Snakeskin Endlers back to the original tank they were born in because the have grown large enough that they should do well in their original tank.

We did this a little earlier than we had planned because we have been raising some beautiful Tiger Endlers that are much more colorful and have darker stripes than the regular Tiger Endlers that are available.

Recently we had two that look like Albinos except for their eyes.  We are hoping that these will turn out to be a blond form of this special Tiger Endler strain.

We moved the fry to the Fish Bowl #1 to see what they will grow up to look like and to prevent the female from breeding with the other Tiger Endlers.

So far we have found this 5 gallon fish bowl to work great with Endlers.

Fish Bowl #1: Partial Water Change

We did our first partial water change today.  Removed 2 gallons of water and replaced it with 2 gallons of dechlorinated tap water.

The fish seemed excited to have the change and continue to be very active and healthy.

We noticed today that it appears that one of the fry is a much needed male.

Looks like we will be moving these Endlers back to the main tank in a couple of weeks.  We are hoping to have more fry to replace them with.

When the new fry are added we will be switching to the small sponge filter to keep the fry from being sucked up into the filter.

Fish Bowl #1: Filter System Issue

The small filter that seems to have captured 3 of our Small fry.

3 Fry Missing

The small filter we used for this fish bowl seemed perfect for this small tank.

Unfortunately soon after we introduced our young fry to this small tank 3 of our fish quickly disappeared.

We can only assume that the filter was simply too powerful for our small fry and they got sucked up into the filter.

We intend on replacing the filter with a small sponge filter if we decide to introduce more fry to this fish bowl.
