addy Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 We are new to breeding and were certainly not trying to, but tonight we have found baby yellows in our adult african tank (made up of 5 yellows and 2 ice blue zebras). Unfortunately we are not certain who the mother is although have an idea. Whats the chance of these little ones surviving and can we do anything to help them? ie; taking the bigger ones out? Any help would be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 you can take the bigger out to increase survival rate if you have plenty of rockwork some may survive any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hi addy. If there's heaps of rocks etc for them to hide in you may get a few that will survive. I let my Cobalts release in the main tank and always get some that make it but the Peacock fry never make it. If you want to ensure the majority survive you will have to seperate them from the adults. Congrats on the spawn BTW :bounce: :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addy Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thank you for your replies, hopefully we will have some that make it. We have quite a bit of coral so fingers crossed. :lol: Food wise, do we need to be putting something in the tank for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I don't do anything special for them :oops: I just feed the tank as normal and they seem to get their fair share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
