Fry Still Dying

[Styx]

Last night I lost over thirty. The numbers just keep climbing. They'll all be dead soon despite all my efforts.

Oh man I really feel for you

little babies

I know, I’m working so hard to keep them alive, but everything that should help doesn’t and then more die. BTW, when was the earliest you started to filter?

I have maybe 50 left. As long as even one is still alive, I'll keep trying. *Heavy sigh*

I just had to read back from my accidental spawning diary and I got a sponge filter run by an air pump in there at around 5 days old. The babies used to sit on the sponge so its not powerful to hurt them.

I had a few babies go missing and found Hydra in my tank. I took all the babies out and totally stripped the tank and cleaned it out and started again. It didn't hurt the babies at all and I don't think I lost another one after that. Not saying that's what is wrong here but if I was losing so many I might consider a total strip down as a last resort What is the thoughts from breeders on this?

Sending strong vibes to your babies
