Blue Ram Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 OK this time around I'm going to remove the eggs which were laid yesterday in my community tank. This pair lays eggs every month but the rainbows and cories always munch on them. I'm planning on moving the driftwood with the eggs into a 15 gal. probably tomorrow evening. I'll let papa enjoy fanning them until then. Do the fry like java moss? As far as food, I was going to start them on canned green beans. Should they be rinsed first before putting into tank? Can you just drop the beans into the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I feed my BN fry on NLS Grow and H2O Wafers, for the most part. Their favorite "fresh" food is shelled, frozen peas. When I feed canned beans, I do rinse them a bit, just to get any extra bits off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arixonbarnes Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Careful with the algae wafers as they can cause fry to plug up. Best to check with algae farmer first on what to feed the fry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 I've raised several hundred fry on this diet. I don't feed algae wafers, tho - just the NLS wafers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Ram Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Ok even though my original post was in February, 07 I have not had time to raise these fry. I had a new spawn two days ago and have just moved the driftwood with the eggs into a 5 gal with a sponge filter. Most of the eggs have hatched. Three questions - should I add anything to the water - I will be using aged water ie. methylene blue?? - when do I start feeding them?? - what temperature is best for the fry?? I thought I would start with NLS wafers and frozen shelled peas. If they do well for the next ten days I will move them into a 10 gal. Any other suggestions or comments??
