ok like the title says well didn't even know about the eggs (if I did I woulda got rid of them) but now what I'm an experienced cichlids keeper turned first time breeder
Hondurian red points... Fry help quick
- Thread starter lateraldisposition
- Start date
ok... what do you need help with? There isn't a question.
Well this is a brief overview of raising fry. Once the fry hatch it'll take 3 days for them to become free swimming. For another additional 2 days they will feed off their yolk sac. Now you could start feeding them, either baby brineshrimp or finely crushed flakes. With the baby brine shrimp you'll have more survivors. I like to keep the fry with the parents for a week, then siphon them into a bucket. Then slowly pour them into a 10g tank w/ water out of their original tank and same temp. You can continue to feed them baby brine shrimp until their 3rd week. Then you could start either feeding microworms, daphnia, finely crushed flakes.

help is meant in a broad way I know little about raising fry. Is it possible to leave them together
I personally prefer to pull them after the first week so the parents can spawn again quickly. But, since you don't want them i would leave them in their till they start to spawn again.
well not at the moment but my purpose is for food when I purchase my new tank but right now I don't have the time to do more than I already am with my fish like set up another tank/sell or have room for them
