So Everyone, IM A GRANDPA lol i need help and advice on caring for the babies.. please help
 
really you dont need to do anything, the parents do all the work, just keep up on water changes, and you could feed the babies baby brine shrimp, or crushed flake food, but they usually can just pick around the tank and the parents will crush up food for them to eat. Just leave 'em be. lol
 
My advice get something to eat them, and quick. Cause when cons start breeding there is no stop.
INVATION OF THE CONS!!!!
lol.
 
jakob not good advice

convicts arent that bad, there just common, there actually a nice species of fish and make very good feeders also (not that i feed my fish feeders)

the parents will look after them as posted, you could feed them crushed flake or baby brine shrimp but this isnt neccesary unless they arent with both parents IMO.

just feed the parents like normal and they will feed the fry.
 
well the y were in a tank but i used a divider cause my other fish would have surely eatin them...

that's good...but you can get a 10gal tank and put the fry in there. with a sponge filter. then you can remove the divider. and wait till they spawn new fry.:D
 
you guys think i can make 25% water changes with he fry in the tank?
 
you sure can....just watch out for the babys.
 
brine shrimp-but dont have to do anything but enjoy them growing up and figure out where the heck youre gonna keep em all
