    My vinager eels arrived in great condition and are will now hopefully do their thing in the concoction. Another big thank you to @TheGrissom :thumbup:

    Some of the YouTube videos I’ve watched emphasized another benefit of vinager eels - they don’t sink like micro worms do, and continue to swim and live around in the aquarium a bit, giving fry an opportunity to get to them. So that’s really cool.

    @TheGrissom I just spied on mine with a torch shone from behind. Boy oh boy they’re tiny - perfect fry food. And there are lots of them in the jar roughly 3 weeks in :thumbup:

    Did the filter floss thing and did not even take a couple of seconds for many of them to swim up! Fed a tiny amount to the 2 bigger minnow fry in the 16L, even though they have been on First Bites all along. Just to see close up. Very cool!! Will continue to feed them some, it works like a bomb.

    Couldn’t find the new minnow fry in the 1,5m anymore, probably already gobbled up! For what it’s worth released a couple of vinegar eels where I saw them last.
