Ted Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) I am rapidly running out of room. it must have been quite the weather system that swept through Edmonton because everyone is breeding. Can I put 1/2" peacock fry in with a pair of adult BN and their own 1/2" fry? Just need somewhere else for the other peacock fry! Thanks Theresa Surprised this week with albino longfin BN fry, regular brown BN fry, sunshine peacock fry, saulosi fry and a blue regal about to spit!

A friend of mine raises BN and angelfish fry together with no issues. Don't know if this helps at all but I tried. Have you thought about putting a tank on the floor,lol!!

Baos Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I have some albino bn fry in with some rather violent fish right now and they seem to do fine. Just make sure they don't fit in the mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aro-L Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I have discus fries with albino bn from the past. It should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I put mouthbrooding females in my BN breeding tanks. THe moms spit, then eat a bit for a few days before they head back to their tank. Both cichlid and BN fry/adults do well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Dawg Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 fishclubgirl could give you guidance on raising fry in the toilet? Do you add the prime to the tank or the bowl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I don't use prime. Someone on another forum said I had it wrong. The bathtub is to be used as a quarantine tank, not the toilet. My angelfish fry are in there now. Makes it a challenge bathing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I don't use prime. Someone on another forum said I had it wrong. The bathtub is to be used as a quarantine tank, not the toilet. My angelfish fry are in there now. Makes it a challenge bathing!! Thanks for the help everyone. BN fry and peacock fry are doing well. Thanks for the tip about the mom peacocks Jason, next time I get one near term I will do that for the other BN tank. By the way, AnneMarie, I couldn't use the bathtub since that is where Ted is since I let him in the house. But it would save on Prime (volume of water)...hmmm Theresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
