hackerberry Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 So finally my Pigeon Bloods are acting like real parents. So far, there are at least 80 frys attached to them for 4 days now. Do i just let them much on their parents' skin or do I suppliment the babies with food? So far, I am adding Wardley's baby fish food but don't think they are eating that much. Aside from bbs, any other good food that will entice the frys? Thanks guys! hb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebelThunder Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I read in simplydiscus micro worms and bbs are good fry foods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackerberry Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks RT, I will try bbs. I just hate hatching them. I get too excited and hatch tons and waste the same. Will post some pics once they get bigger. cheers, hb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackerberry Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Update: I think I am having the 4 weeks syndrome. Only have 30+ frys and some are still dying. Tried the General Cure by API and the parents and frys are releasing white stringy feces. I added Bi-Furan and the parents stopped eating and are staying in the corner. I will stop the BiFuran medication and stick with the General Cure. Will do a big W/C tonight and run activated carbon and Purigen to remove the medication. hb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince0 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Since I don't have a phd in fish health, I don't medicate. I wouldn't medicate my dog, cat or child willy nilly, so why subject fish to unnecessary stress? Best thing would be to run your carbon to remove the meds and stick to regular w/c. And keep reading.
