Thank crunchie its friday
Heres my help

this week i will help every1 on raising fry

Hints: to raise a very successful batch of any kind of fish fry all u need is 3 easy rules; clean water, brine shrimp as food, every third day water changes of about 25%

if u are new to the breeding hobby then the best shot to go for is a cichlid pair (non-pair forming breeds are not good parents). They raise & protect theyre fry to death and are very fun to watch theyre daily schedule of coming out of the cave in the morning, getting their meals & best of all seeing the parents protect them

for a good batch of fry you obviously need parents and with a wide range of easy to breed fish to choose from you will definitly find one that suits you

bettas, cichlids & livebearers are the most well known fish for breeding

Tips: for a fish fry that reaches a size of 4-5cm when adult form, a tank size of 30+ litres will work fine
for a fish fry that reaches a size of 7-10cm when adult form, a tank size of 50+ litres will work fine
for a fish fry that reaches a size of 10-15cm when adult form, a tank size of 90+ litres will work fine

I will post more info 2nit

However this doe's not apply to channa, they don't like alot of waterchange's...as long as water quality's top notch then all's good

OK it's Fryday!! More puffer babies from me I used to start them off on microworms but since my microworm culture died a while ago, they now get a good start on baby brine shrimps until I wean them onto frozen and live bloodworms.

hint-document your breeding success so for future reference you can look back and copy again, any little thing like water temp/ph/what lighting and what you were feeding,this is more important for the more difficult specie's to breed!
Also it's great to look back on your accomplishment
