Link2Hell Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I like to have a sponge filter in with them for bacteria to feed on the can graze and get a good dose of gut fauna you can only look to reduce fry loss but even so it should only be minimal with Ancistrus unlike Sturisoma (Royal Whiptail) Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemike Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 In addition - lettuce/cucumber worked well for me too. Regular cleaning (siphon out their poo) and fresh water should reduce the fry loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithoMan Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 spirulina flakes and a crap load of wood in the fry saver or tank..My first 10 batchs died after couple of weeks they were in a fry saver they would get fat and just die...Wood was the secret for the fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krellious Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 What wafers do you guys use? Im thinking of getting some NLS ones. Do they contain to much protein for tje fry and will they cause the fry to get fat and die like cheaper food seems to do for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithoMan Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I USE SPIRULINA FLAKES THAT WE GET FROM AUCTION'S AND HIKARI WAFERS.. THE BLOATING AND DYING FOR ME WAS I HAD NO WOOD IN THE FRY SAVERS AND NOW I DO AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM SINCE CHEERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batty Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I have moved my breeding BNs to a 4ft tank with a large piece of wood (30cm) a small internal ehiem, a sponge filter and a mat filter across one end, water is crystal clear and location is quiet with not much movement in the room, see how we go. Cherry shrimp for cleaning duties too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
