Link2Hell Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 If you strip her do after 2 weeks when they are head and tail on yolk sac no need to tumble just float in a fry saver - NOT a guppy breeder net until the egg sac is absorbed then feed on crushed flake, ground pellets, BBS Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpfc Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 I have my Afra fry and mum in a 53 litre tub with a 100 watt heater and a sponge filter. I feed vege flakes and the odd pellet. There is also a piece of rock from the main tank for security and a supply of algae. I also changed a pipe in the main tank which was full of algae. One of the fry lives in the pipe. A bit of a nightmare getting the filter started which knocked off two fry but I have learned from that one and will have mature sponges on hand at all times from now on. With the guppy net is it because the adults suck out the fry? Soon the Afra mum will go back all fattened up and ready for more action. I may have to go to LFS to ensure I strip correctly. Sounds dodgy already. I will put the fry in the tub and mum straight back. Then to decide what to do with the fry. If you strip her do after 2 weeks when they are head and tail on yolk sac no need to tumble just float in a fry saver - NOT a guppy breeder net until the egg sac is absorbed then feed on crushed flake, ground pellets, BBS Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIMO Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Adult fish can easily suck out and kill the fry through the soft netting....best to use a hard plastic container as a fry saver. Add an air stone to bubble away and turn the water over in the fry saver and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 have a look at this Utube clip from PCS it will give you a good idea Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenzy Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm sure others will say the same. Everytime I clean a filter I find live fry in them if I have allowed a girl to spit in the tank. I'm with the others on the guppy nets. Had an Afra Cob male that basically ripped a hole in one. I really like those fry savers that are sometimes advertised on here. I have 2 of those. Don't know if it's appropriate for me to say who they are from on here?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIMO Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Yeah you can as most of us already know which ones you're talking about......."Mathew's custom built fry savers" right??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Matthew's fry savers are excellent, but you can just as easily make one yourself, you've got a few weekends to knock one up... Best of luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpfc Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 She was looking a bit rough so I managed to catch her. She spat over 20 fry in the process. Lets hope I can keep em alive. When they are quick enough they will go in with the two afra fry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
