Anyone know if SP fingerlings can get a mouthful of spider guts & die?
I lost one fingerling (everything Ok except water is warm), and the only thing I could see was a few dead spiders on the surface. Small ones, not big ones like Huntsmans.
None dead since, but no dead spiders on the surface, either.
Could they be hungry enough to eat something harmful to them?
I feed them at least twice a day.

silvers and jades will eat any bug that has the misfortune to hit the water

bad luck for a runt then, I suppose.

there are usually a few unexplained casualties ...IMOH...due to stress, eating something toooo big, other nasty fish , or being so small and getting sucked through the pump.....to be expected really.....

start worring when everything is going well, and then the death rate starts again....and it get's too frequent and regular.....good luck and don't stress....

For a minute I thought the SP was for spider-ponics. whew!
