williewonka Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I found a dozen or so eggs sitting in the filter and they hatched out in the last day or so. With the fish in the tank that they are in, I don't think they will be very safe with the parents. What I'm interested in knowing is... what would be the best thing to feed them after the yolk sac is gone? I have very fine fry food.. would that do as a starter? I'm also thinking of putting them into an established cherry shrimp tank.. I assume in the short term the shrimp wouldn't bother them.. Would they be okay in there for a few months until they got to a size they might harass the shrimp? Thanks Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Congrats, Fred!:thumbs: I used to raise BN kids in a tank w. Cherry Shrimp, they'll be fine together indefinitely. I feed BN babies the same as adults. NLS sinking wafers, NLS Grow and zuccinni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williewonka Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thanks Jason.. I figured they'd be safe in there.. just wanted to be sure. I moved over the ones that I could find so here's hoping some of them make it. They should have lots to eat in there. Thanks again..

stribbelldk Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 congrats Fred! I had my first batch of fry about 3 weeksw ago. Then yesterday I was doing a waterchange on my fry tank, which the first batch is in with some very small electric yellow cichlids, and I noticed my male fanning another clutch of eggs. Today after a Walmart run I saw a few of those eggs "swimming" around. They grow up so fast :cry: Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
