grumpy Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I don't know the first thing about breeding, but this was a surprise. While rearranging some stuff in the bottom of my cabinet, I spotted something tiny, moving, in my sump. Long story short, I scooped out 14 fry altogether, about 1/4" to a little more. I'm guessing my pair of ameca splendens, which I was keeping in a different section of the divided sump, are the mom and dad. Now I know you breeders will get a laugh out of this, but I had absolutely no idea that this could happen. I thought you had to put a lot of effort into setting things up just right. Is this really a fluke or is it normal? By the way, now that I have these fry, I've put them in a safety net that I use when I introduce new small fish to my community. I'm wondering, what I should feed, and how long I might have to keep them in there before they can be safely released. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vapor Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Depends on what else you have in your tank. If they will fit in another fishes mouth they would be too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
