fins Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 I just went to feed my badis badis male a worm tonight and i flipped his pot so that he would come out and there are about 100 fry in there. I have removed the female. What can i feed the fry other than BBS as i quickly need an air stone. It says that I wont have to feed them until a couple of days is this right? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamboe2001 Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 you shouldnt have to feed them untill the yolk sack had disolved but after that they'll need some really small foods ie.baby brine shrimp microworm daphnea or even crushed pellets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fins Posted June 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Just hatching some BBS now. Any idea when their yok sacs will be absorbed, in one of my books it says 7 days, is this right? I think I can clearly see their yok sacs, kinda looks like a small orange/brown lump. I also saw a few of the fry swimming around, well trying to swim around. just hoping that the male wont mistake them for food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hi Fins, congrats on the fry!! I have always been intrigued by Badis Badis, any chance of a pic or two at a later stage? Maybe buy some of you when they have grown some? Cheers Robbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke* Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 How'd they go fins? Any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fins Posted October 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 I dont have any left, they all died. I dont know why, the water was fine, temp fine, pH 7. Then the male died soon after then the female, both from stupid injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
