First Fry Experience

Wow, Is All I Have To Say.

So I discovered some eggs on the glass a couple days ago and placed my divider in (closed fit) and finally today the hatched and all i have to say is i am in complete shock at how small they are!!!

i've had molly drops before and the size of the cory fry just blew me out of the water. I knew they'd be small since the eggs were small but wow, i'm in awe.
they are almost like particles IMO. hahaha wow

Hi FWFishLover

I was wondering how your eggs were doing. I'm glad you posted about them hatching. They are amazing, aren't they?

Have you given any thought to what you will feed them? If they are completely separated from the main part of the tank, a good way to get them started is to squeeze your filter media out over them and add an airstone just to move the surface slightly. They will be lightly covered when the water settles but you will start to see them again in about a week. Until then they will feed happily on the microorganisms in the mulm. It's the way I do it.
