Richard Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Thanks for the kind comments, and David once/if they get to a sellable size i will give you a ring. Just a question or two to those who have bred occies before; Did you leave the fry in the tank with the parents or catch them out? They are pretty damn small and im worried bout doing a water change and losing some, whats the best way to do a water change? And last one.. Whats the survival rate of them? Do the parents eat them up once a new batch is hatched? cheers; Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novafishy Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Congrats Richard! Hope they all survive for you. When you do waterchanges, don't siphon. Just take the water from the top and make sure the tube/hose doesn't reach the bottom where they can get sucked up. get some bbs hatching! or use decapsulated bbs. You dont need to hatch decaps. i use them all the time and it works a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
