MYMARK Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hi, hope someone can help. Fighter fry get to about 10 mm then die. They sometimes get a white growth on the back half of body then die, they also get what seems to be a brain bleed then die. They get plenty of micro worms and novatom, and chopped blood worms, twice a day. Every second day they get a 25% water change, also syphone waste food most days. We are on tank water so water may be lacking something? Fry tank is 2 foot long filled to approx 5 inches deep. any suggestion greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiplymouth Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 50% water changes every day should fix your problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MYMARK Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Hi Adrienne and others, sorry no photos as yet but will try, doing larger daily water changes, so will see if that does the trick. Seems like Im down to the runts now. Second spawning hatched today, hope this one will go better. Thanks for suggesting larger water changes, will keep you posted on how they go. Cheers Mark.
