Guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hi guys, I was wondering if you can raise fighter fry with the father? If you can is there any advantages by doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver21 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 appears to have been done before with sucess and benifits http://bettysplendens.com/articles/page ... icleid=809 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I thought that it might stopo aggresion a bit as the father would be the dominent male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 The fry are strating to become free swimming but the dad still seems to be able to keep every one under the lid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 When should I turn the light off at night? It's been left on since they bred. It's so cool watching him collect the free swimming fry as he makes sure all the fry in the nest then he goes looking for other that he missed and when I fed frozen bbs he put them in his nest (I think he thought they were fry lol) but then he figured out they were food :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver21 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 hows the spawning going? has he given up trying to keep them all in the nest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 He's given up on keeping themin the nest but I'd recomend keeping the male fighter in with the fry. I'm sure the fry have grown faster even though only a few of them are eating bbs (I can't see any orange in their bellys :lol: ). Also the dad eats any uneaten food and I haven't see and really small ones or ones that can't swim properly (he must have eaten them.)
