Other Comments: A kept a group of 6 adults in a planted water barrel in my garden for one (UK) summer, and fry just appeared with the adults. I rarely fed the adults and never fed the fry – their diet must have been the larvae of various insects, mosquitos and bloodworms etc, and maybe smaller fry. The young fish were particularly hardy. Had I added more food, or removed them to grow on elsewhere I suspect I could have raised many more, but one barrel was enough!
