Hi Everyone: First off the comet I have had with the sickness for a year and the mouth rot is doing better in the new 95 gallon tank. He is eating and swimming happily. He still violently spasms once in a while. This is sad because it's right before his mouth is almost healed, then is opens up the wound again. The ammonia is at 4. This will drop in few weeks, I am doing daily water changes until then. I have not posted recently because I have been busy fishing out goldie babies, how adorable and fragile they are. The big white female layed eggs in the 20 gallon months ago but they were never fertilized. I moved her and her boyfriend as well as the comet w/the mouth problem into the big tank last friday. She layed eggs the next morning. Nothing hatched for several days, so I cleaned out the eggs. Well to my horror as I was wahing out the eggs from the big plant, in my sink I observed swarms of tiny little babies swimming, but they were going down the disposal. I quickly put the plant back in the tank and figured out that is where all the babies were hiding. Luckily I had the breeder, that I never used months ago, handy, put it together and plopped it in my 20 gallon tank, that has no fish in it. I was able to only save about 3 of them. Before going to work today I wanted to check my filters, because I figured some of them might have been sucked up. Sure enough along with the dead ones there were a bunch of live ones. I dumped them into the breeder as well. They still have the yol sac and are just chilling on the sides of the breeder and on the bottom of the breeder. I crumbled up some flake food, finely for them, just in case they get hungry. I left the light on for 5 hours yesterday and today. I picked up some wardley fry food today. When should I feed them? They hatched on mon. & tues. I don't want to do any water changes, because that would take it below the breeder line and the little ones are too delicate and would be out of the water then. What should I do as of now. They are so ###### tiny. I was planning on waiting maybe another 2 weeks to see if any needs to be culled. I just hope some of them make it, I would love to add maybe 1 or 2 to the big tank eventually and take any others to friends house or local fish stores. Also right before I put the breeder in I was making daily water changes to lower the ammonia so I could add fish in a few weeks. The Ammonia reading was like .05/1, temperture is around 70 degrees. And the PH is 7.2. So any help would be appreciated. Flashlightfrank

Newly hatched fry will not feed for the first forty eight hours. After this you will need to introduce a regular feeding regime. You can use the special goldfish fry food that you have or you give your fish infursorium, which are microscopic organisms cultured from some lettuce or spinach leaves placed in water for three to five days.You can also give them brime shrimp which comes frozen and dried. Brine shrimp is one of the best sorts of food. Feed them this for about two weeks then go onto special fish flakes. Feed your fish twice a day make sure you sink the food otherwise they will get swim bladder problems.
