Baby Pangio

Post by capeldrae »

Discovered one maybe two hopefully more baby pangios in my tank yesterday. They are hiding in the gravel and it's very difficult to get a photo, here's the best I could manage last night but will try for a better one before they get any bigger'

There's definately two, their living in a little hole in the gravel you can see one returning to it in the last photo. They come out at feeding time.

Update,
On Boxing Day I did a big water change on my River Tank, with the intention of moving my three baby Pangio's, along with the adults to the new tank I had set up. I removed about two thirds of the water and put all my wood in a basin, all the stones in another and removed all my hardway. The adults were easy to catch, compared to the baby pangio's, which were impossible to catch in the net. I eventually had to suck them up with the hose, I reckon there was about 20+, but time was running short and I had to get water back into the tank. Whistle adding the water I noticed a couple of baby's' which I had to leave.
I'm afraid I had left my camera at my daughters house so she could take photo's of the kids for me.
Today whilst douing a water change on my River Tank I decided to cath the little ones that I had left. Here's a couple of photo's,

OOOh, they're getting big(ish), I was worried you weren't going to try to catch the last few, whew. Congrats & Happy New Year!
