whistlin' Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Hi All, I have come home from work this arvo and have found my first batch of fry released from my proud female Lombardoi. They are in a 2' tank with no other fish. I have Nutrafin basix staple food for fry to feed the young. How often should I feed them? How long should I leave the mother in the tank? Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Cheers, Whistlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezzacam Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Ummm With my fry i try feed them 3-4 times a day, but with only small amounts each time. Where as with parents.. I only feed them 2 times a day, with larger amounts. You could remove the female now if you wanted to. Cameorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropheusQueen Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Hey hey, When I find that time is absent.... I place some algae wafers into the fry tanks and savers so that they can nibble when they want. I have step breeding lombardoi that no-one believes I have until they see them with their own eyes I placed a male and three females into a three foot tank after they attempted to massacre a 6' display tank on their own. The result six months later 6 generations of fry and juveniles all co existing with mum and dad Not cranky towards each other anymore but they all hate me Aline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
