callum Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hi everyone, my pair of bright yellow Leleupi are now in the four foot with with my baenschi adults. They kept on spawning in the flower pot but I never saw fry(most probably because they felt threatend by the other fish,I would put them on their own tank but I have no space until I can build another stand). So I took out the pot with around 200 white eggs and just put it in a fish bag, added some methylene blue and put an air stone in. Oh and I turned the pot on the side so it would allow more water movement over the eggs. A couple days later, I could see little tails, then the next day I could see little eyes. Today nearly the whole egg sack has dissappeared so tomorro I will move them to their "temporary tank" A 3litre Just Juice bottle with the top cut off and one of the sides replaced with thin fabric netting. This will hang on the side of the tank with an air stone, to allow their original water to pass through. Will 'Liquid Fry No.1' Be ok as food for them untill they're big enough to eat BBS? Does anyone know of a nother rearing food for them that I could try? Only one egg got fungi so I guess the males doing his Job right ae?

ryanjury Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Awesome man im glad they're finally doing something for you.. You made the trip down a fair while ago.. You can use the traditional "green water" which is basically any water which has gone green and contains tiny bacteria and algae and all sorts of good stuff. Otherwise some microworms can be small enough for them to eat straight away. Also have done some reading and apparently you can get san franciso bay brine shrimp, not the san francisco bay BRAND ones but the ones from that place and they're alot smaller than the other brands and newly hatched rams etc can eat them.. Haven't really tried to get them yet but its what ive heard. Good luck hope it works out for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
