scrabble Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have a 300L tank with 4 convicts, 3 GAE's, 6 Demonsoni and one yellow and black fish I cant remember the name of. Two convicts have paired up and now theres little babies .. As I have never had babies before, a few questions? 1. Do I need to move them out of this tank? If so how, they are teeny tiny.. 2. Will my other fish eat them? 3. What do I feed them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 If you really want them out we've found that using a siphon tube is a great way to suck out small fry :]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 1. Do I need to move them out of this tank? If so how, they are teeny tiny.. no 2. Will my other fish eat them? probably, but some ought to survive 3. What do I feed them? finely crushed flake food will be fine. Crush it between thumb and finger will be fine enough You could also try using a turkey baster if you want to try and remove some. The $2 Shop usually has these all year round.

scrabble Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Great thanks - I've actually given up trying to catch them. I figured the parents will look after them well enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deno Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I used to have a pair and when they bred the female would eat some of the babies then stop, almost as if she was thinning them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
