sandysme Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 my convict pair had babies a couple of weeks ago and yesterday all but 1 have dissappeared and there was heaps, Why ??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Most common reason is that mom and dad moved the brood too close to a filter inlet, or you did a hasty water change and the babies all perished aside from the most hardy of the lot. Another common reason is that the parents got freaked and ate the fry. Happens all the time, part of breeding fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
