CatBrat Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Congratulations!! they are a amber colour is this normal? Yes this is the colour that they normally are. Is it normal 4 the male 2 guard the eggs? Yes, the male will guard the eggs and the fry. what should i feed the fry when they hatch? The fry will first feed on their yolk sack and once they have consumed this you can feed them basically on what you feed the adults, ie. Flake food, Zucchini etc. Good luck with them, and remember to keep us posted. Cheers, CatBrat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Congratulations steve. Nothing like lots of baby bristlenoses scotting about the tank. They are very self sufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Especially if they have bag-pipes. Alan 104 oh yes, good one Steve. Have some blanched zuchinni ready or mashed up boiled peas.
