i have 7-8 frys last month and sad to say they are deteriorating and they are only down to 3... my 2 frys are bigger than the other one... i feed them powdered food... im just worried coz the smaller fry seems not to eat the powdered food and i think theres a blood at the bootom part of the fry... what could i do?

i would suggest feeding them some brine shrimp eggs. you can find them easily at a local fish shop. the fry love them and they gain weight really quickly, making them stronger and more likely to pull through. good luck!

My suggestion, change the water immediately! I always have this problem. I would always think that they're not eating well but it turns out that the water was just dirty.

and adding aquarium salt at 3% helps loads if theres a fluke or costia outbreak or something and it helps them breath better.

thanx ill keep posted...
