drunkendj Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 New to raising fry so I thought I'd throw out some questions to learn a little more about them. Heres a little info. 16 fish in total all about 3/4 of an inch: 4 burundi frontosas 2 brichardi 5 red zebras 2 electric blues 3 electric yellows Currently in a 20 gallon tank (dont worry I have a couple other tanks to put them in not to mention to 100+ tank thats waiting for the 4 fronts). 1) How often must water changes be done? 2) How long is feeding time, how much do I feed, and how many times do I feed per day? ->I'm feeding them NLS growth formula. I took everything out of my tank minus the rocks because I heard that fry arent very good eaters and if they hide they wont know when to come out when food is available. 3) So my question is, will they get stressed with no places to hide?

CalgaryFan Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I am no expert, but if taking the rocks out was a good idea, i messed up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drunkendj Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I am no expert, but if taking the rocks out was a good idea, i messed up there. I said I took everything out MINUS the rocks. That means the rocks were still in the tank. Anyways thanks williewonka, I added back some decorations to give them a little cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punman Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 The first month I have a bare tank - no sand - no rocks. I want to see what is happening - eating, deaths, etc. After that I add a couple of small rocks - not much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
