FLOWERHORN/How to take care of Baby frys in egg size? PLease help

[packer43064]

After the eggs turn into frys, i move the frys into another tank?

I would not. If the pair lays eggs again, then yes. But otherwise no.

Has this pair laid eggs before? First timers are notorious for being terrible parents and eating them a couple of times, usually once but sometimes more.

Either they moved the eggs or they are wigglers or they were eaten. Wigglers can easily hide behind a rock or under something and blend in with the substrate.

Are they still acting as if they have eggs? Still guarding a area, aggressive to any tank mates or you when you approach the tank?

Should i separate them when they breed again? I have been feeding them day by day as u ordered. The weird thing is that the male stop being aggressive and stop eating for now. The male have stop eating for 3 days now.

Yesterday my female Flowerhorn lay out about 60 eggs. I dont know the process to take care of them until they hatch... please help

Congrats!! Let the parents take care of em, wait for 24-48hrs to see if the eggs are fertile...if not, it'll turn white. Then give it a couple of days in which you'll see a dark patch..chances are the parents are huddling them up. At which, you'll need to reduce your filtration or change it to sponge filters. This way, the wigglers, at this stage, won't get sucked in. Feed the parents and they'll crunch it up into food particlaes and the wigglers will have at it. In addition, food and bacteria accumulates on the sponge..it'll be food for the fries by then..Goodluck and congrats..Also, First bites by Hikari is worth the investment!!! Fries will also consume slime from parents for nourishment!!! If you change 25-35% every oether day..it'll help the growing process move even quicker in the frie stage...Hope this helps!!
