Ducksta Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Water changes shouldn't be a problem. It also might be your last chance for a while to get to a bit of gravel cleaning (before they start moving fry around in pits). But don't get too close to the spawn site.

yellow Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Crush the flake up, wet your finger so that it's damp and dip it in the flake, and then put your finger under that water's surface above the fry. The flake will sink and the fry will find it on the bottom. The parents will also eat and then spit out the food for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link2Hell Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 depends on how soon the parents want to breed againif you want to raise fry then syphon some out while theyare still wrigglers - always leave a few to stop domesticmayhem because all the fry have dissapeared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
