Caldwell Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hi all Any pointers for getting these fry out of the main tank and into a grow out tank? I've used a piece of tube as a syphon but cannot get them all. They are breeding in a community tank so lots of rocks and plants in the way to block my view. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Siphon is the best way by far, failing that you you can try a fine net but they tend to goto ground as soon as a net hits the tank.. Maybe try and find where they are settling for the night and siphon them out of the pit/cave the parents have them in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldwell Posted August 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 I managed to get 5 out and put them in a smaller grow out tank. I can see more but they and the parents were pretty spooked so I'll leave them a day or so. This is their third spawning the other 2 I left in the tank but none have grown so presume they were gobbled at some stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
