scales & tails fishfa Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hey guys, My siamese fighters spawned about a week ago on a Thrusday. I've been feeding them on liquifry for a week and now they are about 4-5 mm long now. Just needing to know what to start feeding them on next? I tryed giving them some finly crushed up flakes and a few of them seemed to like it but some others suck up their noses and didn't touch the stuff... :-? David! If you are out there I would appriciate your help! Thanks guys Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 you could try microworms. i fed mine on powdered flake and they ate it. spose it was better than starving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 live food is best as the movement (vibration) in the water stimulates them to feed. micro worms and brine shrimp are best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 When you start getting a lot of difference in size it pays to seperate them into similar sizes or you will get the smller ones thinned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 That's nature's way of culling . Fittest survive and in a way it's good because there is way too many frys in a spawn. I usually keep the big and fast grower and cull the small and slower grower. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I used to do that too Ron till I realised I was selectively breeding agressive fish, then I started keeping the almost biggest fish as breeders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 That's why they're called fighters :lol: ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
