Spawn Journal

Tuesday afternoon...some still alive, and a couple appear to be free swimming, others still seem to be hanging. I've put some vinegar eels in the tank, but there is also infusoria in the tank for them to eat as I put some of the java moss from the spawn tank in the little tank, so there should be plenty of food for them.

Wednesday noon time update:

OK, I counted 6 maybe 7 free swimming fry in the tank, so probably more than that (there are always hiders). I've added some water to the tank now since they aren't hanging fry anymore. I'll be continueing to add vinegar eels to the water a couple times a day and they will also feed off the infusoria from the java moss. In a few days I'll start adding live BBS. I will also eventually move them into a 2.25 gallon tank I have currently empty to grow them out until they are ready for something bigger (assuming they make it that long).

Thurs Afternoon:

I just took a look and I saw 2 swimming normally, 2 with swimming problems and a few on the floor of the tank, apparently dead. There may be some hiding in the Java Moss. I'll probably end up with zero in the end, but at least I know I gave a good effort to try and save some.
