HOW LONG CAN IT TAKE DO YOU KNOW?

excellent thanks for that i will try it and let you know how i get on, :good: :good:one more question if it is/was dropsey he would of died by now right?? do it kill fast?

ok i will try that, i've never given my fish peas before i know you de shell them do i cook it?? do they have to be frozen or can it be tinned? (all these questions for a single pea lol) sorry like i said ive never fed them peas before :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

oh ok thanks, i was just wandering as my 20+ fry in my tank swim altogether all the time and whenever their mum swims past them they all follow like little ducklings its really cute

excellent, yeah its really difficult to take pics in tanks, you think they would stay still for at least one second for a picture lol, here is a pic when they were babies, i will get a recent pic tomorrow or sunday i was only half way through catching them!!

hey this may seem like a strange question, but do you think fry know who is their mummy in their tank??

my partner is getting a rena 200 x 50 x 71 next week for his birthday cant wait even the oscars have started to get excited about their new home!! lol

awww bless, keep up the good work, these guys seem to grow so so fast then stop growing altogether lol well they do grow you just dont notice it as much lol, i have 20 fry in my tank at the min and they are just a little bigger than your in the pic they are sooo cute, what are you feeding your...

AWWW...... CONGRATULATIONS BOY OR GIRL? WHAT WAS THEIR WEIGHT? AWWWW SWEET X :hyper:

THATS ODD, IM NOT TO SURE WHAT CAUSED YOUR FISH TO DO THIS, BUT BE THANKFUL HE SEEMS OK NOW ALL I CAN SUGGEST IS ADD SOME STRESS COAT IN THERE JUST TO RELAX HIM AND CHILL HIM OUT AND KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON YOUR TANK AND LEVELS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS!!

i took a pic not long after these ones of my daughter with same camera (i had kept hold of it, not touched the lense) Lol YEAH MAYBE :lol: :lol: :lol:

well how are the fry doing? hope you still have 3!!

if your water was to hot or to cold then yes you may have shocked your fry, always try to match the water temp before adding it back into your tank, sorry for you losses :sad:
