Baby brine shrimp, I have not fed them as of yet but that is what I will be feeding them
Keyholes are Breeding!
- Thread starter MetalRavioli
- Start date
Update: As I soon expected, the keyholes were eaten periodically over the course of the past few days. I don't know for sure the culprit, as it could be either the parents or my ctenopoma. I might separate the babies if the parents lay again, just to be safe, but I'll monitor them more consistently as well.
Yes definitely would eat the fry.
I suggest you setup a tank now for the fry once they become free swimming again.
They've laid again! I've ordered a breeding box for the babies, so hopefully this time they'll make it 
NOOOO don't put the fry in a breeding box, made that mistake too many times, if you're going to use a breeder box use it in a designated growout tank away from the parents just to make sure smaller fry get food. If you keep the breeder box with the parents, the parents will smell their fry and try to suck them out through the holes in the box which end up being just slightly too small, which leaves you with a breeder box covered in fry that have been ripped in half by their parents. Mesh and plastic boxes are the same in this regard.They've laid again! I've ordered a breeding box for the babies, so hopefully this time they'll make it

Hopefully he ordered the Marina hang on the outside of aquarium breeding box like I suggested. No way the parents will be able to get to the fry.
I've purchased the one you recommended! The parents won't be able to get the fry, so there's no need for worry, they'll be safe
Glad to hear. I may have to invest in that one myself.I've purchased the one you recommended! The parents won't be able to get the fry, so there's no need for worry, they'll be safe
They've been moved! Most if not all of the babies made it into the breeder box safely
