ExCichlasoma Ornatum with eggs (VIDEO)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Got some free swimmers today! Since the parents arent around they seem to swim upwards toward the surface and away from food. Should I lower the water level and force them to seek out the bottom?

If you have a cycled sponge filter you can lower the level to make it easier for the fry to find the food. Are you hatching brine shrimp, using decapsulated or using flake?
 
Hi guys! They are alone in a 50 liter tank with sponge filtration. A week before the fry were put in here i put in my cyclops/daphnia culture so there Should be somę food for them in there. Will observe their bellies though and and additional food if needed.
