Lynne Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 :bounce: This is the 5th spawning and my fry are 2 weeks old today and I notice an increase in size from when I leave for work in the morning to when I get home! They are at the stage where they are feeding from the parents but mostly from the food I give them. I have around 40 of the little fellas. The other spawnings were in one big tank which was divided off. When the current eggs were deposited I decided to move them, and by the time I got to do that they had hatched. I replicated the environment in the new tank, and included 80% of the water from the existing tank. I transferred the parents and the babies who were hanging off the magnetic cleaner and they all appear to have survived. Thank you to all who made positive suggestions. I'd put a picture up but can't see where the upload link is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
land_lubber Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Hey Congrats, If you are looking to get rid of some of them I'd be glad to take some once they don't need their parents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
