Stepod72 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 I ended up with around 40 which is not a bad number for the first spawn this pair have had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trofius Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Nice trets are pretty good parents, until dad does a midnight snack run.mine were easily producing 200 fry a batch sooooo many little fishes lol...easiest way is day 8 after hatching remove the cave, day 10 they go exploring..I would warn you but I guess you have seen how protective they can be ( wait till he is 14cm! ouch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepod72 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 I left a few in the tank with the parents just to see how they go with them. I put in a divider also just to keep the other 7 trets out from temptation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 There looks to be 30 or so left in the tank. How does the growth rate compare to those in the saver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intangcity Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 gd question Ged.ive often experimented with that doing the same amount of water changes etc i found with my mustax i had a better survival rate if left with the parents for atleast two weeks maybe longer say 3 weeks to a month.but i did noticed a few losses when i removed the parents or put the fry in a floating basket or floating tank stuck to the inside of my 5 ftr with a small sponge filter.always liked the trets and congrats on the spawn Stepodwas thinking about getting kevs ones but didnt have spare tanks.one day ill get them again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepod72 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Bit of an update on the tret fry, I have around 20 odd left and going strong in the fry saver!They are all growing well considering they are only being fed on growth formula. I'm not set up with brine shrimp yet but when we move into our new house in a couple of weeks I can set something up for future spawns.I'll get a video up later of the fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepod72 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 A short vid of the tret fry.Please excuse the algae in the fry saver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 They are growing out. I have had problems with that type of fry saver in the past. It didn't allow enough water exchange from the tank into fry saver and as a result water quality inside the fry saver suffered. I had to be conscious to place the fry saver where there was sufficient water flow from the sump return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepod72 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 This is my first time using one of these Ged so it's new to me. I have put a air stone on the other side of the divider which is helping with water turn over and it seems to be doing the job.These guys are growing quite well, as we are moving in a couple of weeks I'm hoping that they will survive!

Ged Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 The air stone is a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
