JD Fry getting stuck in gravel

[cor]

It appears a lot of my 1.5 week old free swimming fry keep getting stuck in the gravel. I can see them along the glass and most are a live.

The gravel I have is p-sized gravel.

I don't think it would be possible to go bear bottom at this time.

Is this normal?

they're just hiding

x2 yeah they hide from the other fish in there. my fry stuff themselves under ornaments and deco in the tanks. but they will come out.

Don't worry, my convict fry do that too. I've seen my mom's guppies do that as well. They hide.

I removed the female from the 20g long and put her back in the 125 community tank. The parents are already dancing around.

The fry seem to be all over the place and not school by anymeans but surviving. I think now there are probably about 40 fry remaining.

Fill them full of brine shrimp and you should have some nice fry coming on, lets see some pics?!

I like to pull the eggs but sometimes my CA ans SA lay on the glass so this is what I do.
I build a play pin for the fry.I have lost many fry in the gravel over the years but this seems to help
