Well, I recently moved my fish to a 75 gal from an over crowded 40 gal, adn apparently they spawned....After they moved to the 75 gal, I decided to take all the plants out and put them in a different tank, and i guess the eggs werer on the plants, because I have a 10 gal full of plants and about 20 fry that i can count so far!!!!

so...I talked to Chishower, and I should get

Live Daphina
Brine Shrimp eggs
and throw a snail or 2 in there to make infusim for them

is that it?

I dont need a filter since i got TONS of plants, and the lil things are only --- long....they cant poo that much!

anything else??

ahhh! new mom fears!!! blink.gif

smack536

nichjake
ohhhh boy, sounds like a great mix, I bet they'll be pretty!
smack536

Congrats on the babies biggrin.gif !
U can also feed them crushed boiled egg yolk if live daphnia & brine shrimp is too difficult to obtain.
smack536
ok...so ithink theyre gonna get egg yolk for now...as my petco dont have the daphina or brine shrimp....

Congrats Smack! biggrin.gif Can't wait to see what they look like when they get bigger!

I got some first bites from the Petsmart store also, its powder fine. That and egg yolk works well. Next step Micro pellets, then went to sinking colorfin goldfish crumbles as they are still really small. The biggest one I have is about a inch now.

I agree...first bites are good...and brine shrimp

yikes.gif Good Lord,just when I think we have your tanks under control,you tell me this!!!! rofl3.gif Well Congrats anyway.I will make sure KOKO hears of your spawn.I think you'll have to be really careful on the water quality of the tank ,especially with feeding egg. Do you happen to have a sponge filter? I'm still trying to figure out how I missed this...Must have been working. rolleyes.gif

oh, so sad. better luck next time. when next time does come remember not to change the water untill there at least a week-2weeks old and not too often, (it puts alot of stress on them and may result in death) ~good luck~
