Help with baby orinos!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
When I brought in the baby cichla I bought a few heavily gravid livebearers as well as quite a few newborn guppy feeders. Quarantine, and keep them well fed.

Ive been feeding the small guppies and any newborns. The best advice I could ever give with feeders is to net them into their new tank. NEVER use the water you brought them in.
 
try live fish.
its possible they got freaked out somehow by the water change.
try changing less water more frequently.
if they dont eat the fish,somethings wrong.
 
im having this same problem. only one out of the 3 orinos are eating a lot. the other 2 eat one or 2 blackworms and then ignore them for a few hours and then it repeats. this has been going on for the past week. i mightve fed them a few dead worms here and there because i never really check the worms since i always rinse the water out. could this be really bad?
 
well today when i was feeding my larger pbass silversides, i decided to cut off the tail ends of some of the smaller ones and feed them to the orinos. Two of the orinos are now taken silversides.:headbang2but one is still not taken anything so im going to go get some guppies to feed them
