zeebee Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Ok so i have found a new batch of fry, Quick question... if I siphon the fry into their own tank, will they die without the parents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I have successfully raised 2 batches of krib fry by removing the parents from the breeding tanks, as long as the tanks are reasonably small, say 8-10 gallons and are bare bottom, (so the fry can find the food easier). I don't feed them for a few days after they are free swimming as they usually just peck at the sponge filter, then I just start feeding them that cheap liquifry food you can buy anywhere and have had a 90% + fry survival rate.

F15hguy Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I agree, easier to raise fry on their own in a smaller tank. (makes PWC's a lot easier) if you can afford it live brineshrimp naupili are one of the best foods for while their small. also had a lot of success (and very good growth rates) with crushed discus pellets. only prob is finding homes.... maybe a really big tank with heaps of plants and rocks and then you could keep them all!!! (Takashi Amano did a tank like that its in his nature aquariums book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
