cichlid7 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 take as much water from your oscar tank as you can and fill up your grow out tank with it then you will be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim r Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I would wait untill they become free swimming.The reason they ate them last time (in my opinion) is because they wanted to lay more eggs and saw the fry as a threat.

spidey Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 oh i didnt know that so you think i should just let them be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim r Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 How long after eating the fry to laying eggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidey Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 ahh around 3-4 weeks, they get to fry stage then get eaten. but the strange thing is they lay the eggs at the worst time well i think because its at the end of the week when the tank is in need of a water change,but every time they have layed them is at that time? i just had a look at them and all the eggs look firtle brown/tan colour well its not hard to see them they live next to my computer.

jim r Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I thought you said they laid 3 weeks ago and they got to the fry stage, so how long from eggs being laid to fry being eaten? How many tank mates and how big is the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
