I Have Fry!

[Cazgar]

Great suggestions above. You can use a dropper or an infant medicine syringe from the pharmacy to place a drop of green water or BBS in front of them conveniently.

I have a syringe that I'm using for the green water, I'm putting some in 4/5 times a day & they react straight away to it so they seem to know it's food.
The adults all seem to be displaying tonight, so might be more babies on the way soon!

I've managed to get some decapsulated brine shrimp eggs.
They're in one of those bags with water you get live food in.
What do I do with them, never had them before, do you feed as is or do they have to hatch?

Quick vid of one of the fry, blink & you'll miss it, had to get so close to get it

Are the fry in a seperate tank?

 

[Cazgar]

No, they're in with the adults.
The adults don't seem to bother with them

UPDATE UPDATE!!! lol

One week on & I regularly see at least five, still tiny but doing well.
I'm feeding them still with the green water with a little of the first bites powdered food.
They tend to stay around the top of the tank away from the adults, though I've not seen any adults going after them

Any news?

 

[Cazgar]

I still see 5, they've grown a bit & tend to hide more like the adults so it's hard to spot them.
I think next time I'll try to get them out & put them in a separate tank so I can monitor them better

 

[mattyeatsmatts]

yeah and that would be good to see their progress.
