Dolphin Fry- Advice Please

[capester]

Hi guys I have a blue dolphin with a mouth full of fry. Last time she was holding eggs I caught her to transfer her to another tank but she spat the eggs and didn't pick them uop again. This time I have let her get on with it and the fry have hatched in her mouth, I was wondering whether to let her spit them in the main tank or try to fish her out? Cheers

I would leave it mate, just let her get on with it, when the fry are free swimming,then you could catch her then remove the fry,but i wouldnt attempt this, if you want fry,then get another tank and keep just the breeding pair in there. Good to hear the news all the same pics would be great

Thanks, I reckon I might try to catch her at night and see how that goes.....

I would just let her get on with it and remove them when she has spat. Goodluck!

I think I need it! I tried catching out c.some julie fry but I could never catch the darn things! The tank s 6'7" x 30" x30" with 180kg of rock in it. I had to dismantle the whole thing to catch 1 adult tropheus the other week!

Malawis are cleaver little #19###s when it comes to avoiding the net

The way the tanks set up,and its size leave them to it i say, then as before just catch the parents at a later point and make a breeding project...

Hi again. I have left her to it but she hasn't spat them yet. How long does it take her to spit normally after the eggs hatch? I'm getting a bit worried because she is looking pretty thin and keeps attacking the male and then going and hiding away. They hatched at least a week ago
