jim r Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Just saw about 200 Jewel cichlid fry in my African tank suggestions on how to remove them please would be appreciated ( I do not think they have much chance of survival otherwise even though both parents are doing a sterling job at present ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLB Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Siphon a bit of water into the bucket before you start to suck up fry then submerge the end of the hose in the bucket so the fry don't have to fall through the air.

jim r Posted September 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 thanks guys did that, do not know how many I got but I think maybe most but not all cos mr and mrs Jewel are still defending their corner and I maybe will not put my hand in the tank for a while.

alanmin4304 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 You may need to start thinking now about how you are going to get rid of 200 jewels when they grow up to be big and nasty. Lovely looking fish but hard to get rid of ---I only bred them the once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim r Posted September 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I will keep the best in a show tank and I am sure Mr Oscar won't refuse a change from shrimp, but that is a lomg way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
