nw1411 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 G'day Guys, I currently have a dozen M.Estherae fry (1-2cm). I own a 4x2x2 and a 2ft grow out tank (which the fry are currently in). Question...... At what stage do I need to look at moving the fry from the 2 footer, and can they all go in the 4 footer together (with the rest of the community)? If they can't go into the display tank, then do LFS's take them? Cheers Nath 3 x M.Estherae 3 x Rusty 3 x E. Yellow 1 x P. Saulosi 1 x N.

Ducksta Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 You should be able to sell them to a lfs at about 4cm, but they would prefer 5 and 6cm in most cases. They wont take much smaller IME. You can put them in the "main" tank at some stage, but probably not yet. Naturally, it depends on what size the fish are in there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I thought I'd hijack your post a little for a hobby horse of mine. There is no real basis for calling fish juveniles fry. Fish Larvae - Refers to the time from hatching to metamorphsis (development of scales, adult patterns etc) Fish Juveniles - The time during which the fish reaches reproductive capability for the first time Fish - Reproductively capable.
