ludimac Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 they just amaze me but i'm wondering how you can tell if they are actually getting any of the food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 If you are feeding brine shrimp their little angel tummies will go orange and get bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMAZONIAN Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 I find that if I give the newly swimming fry green water for a few days and then Brine Shrimp they go ahead in leaps and bounds. Regular water changes are a must as is plenty of food. :roll: View some of my posts on Angel's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludimac Posted December 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 lol amazonian...i tried to look at your posts but they're full of the fun games...lol. green water? wjhat do you mean by that? and how often do you think i should change the water? right now the fry have a 120 tank all to themselves but in the future i will have to put them into a nursery net as hopefully a pair of convicts will be joining them.

AMAZONIAN Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hi GREEN WATER: By definition, it is "Green". :lol: That is because it is alive with algae spores and also amoeba, paramecium, and maybe even a few rotifers. All these things are microscopic, but believe me a fish fry's keen eye will detect them, and eat them. they can eat them for a week or more but you should start with a little bit of NEWLY HATCHED "Brine Shrimp" after about four to five days of free swimming. 8) From then on it's 20% water changes twice a day and plenty of food, even five or six times a day. :lol: You will see their little bellies turn pink with the "BS" they are consuming. The biggest killer you will have after hatching is LACK OF FOOD, followed by OVERCROWDING, and LACK OF WATER CHANGES. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
