BigDaddy Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Ok on sunday my red female crown tail and red male crowntail spawned this is my 1st successful spawn it is now tuesday and the eggs are hatched it funny watching the male catch them as they fall out of the nest hes a busy worker but hes doin great . I bought some frozen daphnia cubes and was wondering how much of the cube should I feed at a time I dont want to over feed and im not sure how much daphnia is in those cubes so if any one might know would be great.

Alan Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 How deep is the water with Dad and the kids in?? Have you removed the female yet?? If not, do so, as she will become a target to the males defensive aggression. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddy Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 ya the female was removed after spawning was complete I have them in a 10 gal tank that I set up as a spawning tank it has a 25 w heater few plants and a pen plax mini sponge filter that runs off air. the water depth is 5-6 inches.

alanmin4304 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 The fry are very small and daphnia will be too big. You will need green water. egg yolk or infusoria to start with, then brine shrimp/microworm. Feed a little and often. I used to get better results by using a pilot light and drip feeding them day and night with green water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
