Danger_Chicken;2680484; said:I use the First Bites and live micro worms. Since you have a big tank for the fry, try wetting you finger and putting it in the first bites. Roll up what comes out on your finger into a little ball and put that on the bottom near the fry so they wont have to look for it. The stuff is so fine it will fall apart quickly (while you're placing it on the button). It's kind of like target feeding, you make sure the fry can find the food without saturating the tank. Another trick is to lower the water level by 80% and instead of doing water changes add an inch of water every few days.
My GT's spawned last week, protected the eggs and ate the wigglers
Thanks. I will try that out in 1 day because they started to swim 2 days ago.

my ears hurt lol. but yeah, i don't know what i am going to do with all the fry. i will probably keep just the first batch and let the parents do what they want with the other spawns.
I'd feed them now since the parents aren't in there. When little like that they need to eat often (3-5 times a day)
Pic's are nice. I have the nicest GT Male I've ever seen...until I saw your's.

Try newly hatched brine shrimp; very easy to hatch and the fry just love em. Also get your hands on some CYCLOP-EEZE if you can. It's a freeze dried super growth food packed with important nutrients necessary for fry growth. Check with "That Fish Place" in N Tonowanda or you can order it online. Also I would raise the temp just a bit. Good luck with those fry!
and keep us posted.Danger_Chicken;2685503; said:
