Another try with Bolivian eggs...

Here's some pics of my new fry. I've had major success this time. My count is over 100 fry, and none have died yet. No dead bodies on the bottom, they are all wiggling and even swimming some. Here's what I did different....

I moved the eggs to a 10G tank with a sponge filter. I ran a powerhead until they started hatching, then turned the powerhead off. I used straight RO water from Safeway, and the temp is 87-88 degrees. All looks happy, and I'm starting to have to feed them. Yippeeeeee......

As for the pics, I'll try to get better pics. But with them being so small, I'm having a hard time getting pics.....

They look great and awesome for none have died. Must be taking great care of them.

It's a tough learning curve. The last time I had success, only 4 survived. I've never come this far with this high of a success rate.

I doubt many people have had high success, bar Fish Farms and professional breeders
